BBL Tweets of the Week

At UKAmericanSportsfans.com, I’ll be monitoring tweets from BBL personalities past and present for our new feature “Tweets of the Week”.

The excitement of the new season has gathered pace, but the subjects concerning some well known BBL faces on Twitter are rather more diverse.

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of the BBL on Twitter…

There’s a Scrooge on the loose in Leicester as Riders BBL stalwart Barry Lamble is lamenting the very early arrival of Christmas.

Plymouth Raiders’ new big man Matt Schneck has been rocking a retro hair style but he announced on Twitter the sad news that his Anchorman special was set for the chop. Better put that Sex Panther back in the cupboard Matt.

  The announcement of the new Tigers roster caused murmurings of discontent across some of the BBL community notably former star man Andy Thomson who still allegedly has unfinished business with the Mersey club.

Another new Raiders signing, Usher look-a-like Drew Lasker, has just learned the meaning of the word Bullocks. Drew, what did you think it meant before then……?

 

The Plymouth boys have certainly been active on Twitter this week but maybe not as active as Gavin Love would like if new boy Javarris Barnett has been spending his time with his feet up watching Noel Edmonds.

Manchester Giants have just announced the signing of Devan Bailey on a one-year deal so maybe this will go some way to alleviating Devan’s discontent at the lack of reward for basketball players in England.

  Ex-Worcester Wolves sharp shooter, Tommy Freeman, is always good for a quote or two but this time the less said the better! If she’s Boo Boo does that make Tommy Yogi? Forget it, this is getting weird.

League MVP and new Newcastle Eagles captain, Joe Chapman @joechap32 is really buzzing for the new season. He’s been one of the BBL’s regular and interesting Tweeters so I’ve included a couple of his recent Tweets. Played at 225 last year now at 210 I’m ready again for a great year !!! instagr.am/p/Pp0XaXgCup

THIS how they been told to guard me this year haha. it’s preseason bro ! smh . #MVP problems instagr.am/p/Pl6V9OgCm4/

Bradd Wierzbicki may be without a club but the ex-Riders man certainly has not lost his competitive nature. With a tough upbringing like that on the way, we might be seeing Bradd’s son in the BBL in a few years time!

I’ll be back next week with some Tweets from the first week of the new BBL Season.
