\u201cI\u2019m thinking hooters tonight with the fellas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devin Booker\u2019s 2012 tweet\u2014\u201cI’m thinking hooters tonight with the fellas\u201d\u2014was posted when he was just 15, still a high school basketball prospect. The casual plan to hit Hooters, known for its sports-bar vibe and waitstaff branding, later became a nostalgic fan favorite as Booker rose to stardom with the Phoenix Suns. By 2025, as Hooters faced bankruptcy rumors, Booker publicly backed the chain, sharing it had been a bonding spot for him and his father. Over time, the tweet turned meme-worthy, with fans referencing it in humorous edits and replies, cementing it as a lasting piece of NBA Twitter lore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 4, 2021, @KL0WRYY posted a viral joke calling Devin Booker \u201cDevin Applebee\u2019s Booker\u201d after the Phoenix Suns tied the playoff series 2-2 against the Lakers. The nickname comes from Booker\u2019s old tweets from 2011\u20132013, where he often mentioned going to Applebee\u2019s. At 24, Booker was averaging 29.7 points per game in the series, and fans pointed out the contrast between his performance on the court and his casual dining habits off it. The meme shows how NBA Twitter often highlights small details from a player\u2019s past and ties them to their current success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posted on June 4, 2021, @afflictionnnn\u2019s thread spotlights Devin Booker\u2019s old tweets about Applebee\u2019s, where the Suns star regularly documented his visits from 2012 to 2013. These posts resurfaced during the 2021 NBA playoffs as fans embraced Booker not only for his scoring\u201427 PPG that postseason\u2014but for his relatable, low-key habits. The caption \u201cThe new era\u201d reflects a larger shift in the league, as legends like LeBron James and Steph Curry were eliminated early, making way for rising stars. Booker\u2019s Applebee\u2019s tradition became a meme and a symbol of a new kind of NBA superstardom\u2014humble, funny, and elite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo if you think a young lady looks nice your considered thirsty?? Absurd\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Durant\u2019s 2012 tweet\u2014\u201cSo if you think a young lady looks nice your considered thirsty?? Absurd\u201d\u2014reflects his pushback against the then-rising use of the term \u201cthirsty.\u201d While the slang dates back to the late 1990s, it became mainstream in the early 2010s through platforms like Twitter, often used to call out perceived desperation for attention. Durant\u2019s frustration captured a broader cultural shift, as public figures began navigating a new era of hyper-scrutinized social media interactions. His post questioned whether genuine compliments were now seen as desperation\u2014an early example of how online slang shaped real-time reputations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cScarlett johanneson I will drink ur bath water\u2026#random\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2011, a 23-year-old Kevin Durant tweeted one of his most infamous lines: \u201cScarlett johanneson I will drink ur bath water… #random.\u201d At the time, Durant was still early in his NBA career and known for his candid, sometimes wild posts. The tweet, a bold declaration of celebrity admiration, gained renewed attention in 2017 when Bill Simmons brought it up on his podcast\u2014the same year Durant\u2019s burner accounts were exposed. Scarlett Johansson, then rising in fame as Black Widow in the Marvel universe, became an unlikely part of NBA Twitter history thanks to Durant\u2019s unfiltered thirst tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KD wasn\u2019t afraid of emotions. Or thirst. Or oversharing at 2AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posted in 2010, Kevin Durant\u2019s tweet about watching the History Channel in a club and questioning how scientists know what\u2019s happening on the Sun reflects a blend of humor and curiosity. Then just a few seasons into his NBA career, Durant unintentionally touched on a classic misunderstanding\u2014how science can explain phenomena without direct contact. While no one\u2019s been to the Sun, solar research relies on tools like telescopes and plasma physics. The tweet went viral again years later, with scientists and fans chiming in, showing how even a joke in a club can lead to unexpected science conversations online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwitter is better than goin to da club\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Durant\u2019s 2010 tweet\u2014\u201cTwitter is better than goin to da club\u2026\u201d\u2014captures a moment when social media was still new territory for athletes. At just 21 and fresh off leading the Thunder to their first playoff run, Durant was choosing timelines over turntables. It reflected a shift from traditional celebrity nightlife to building an online presence, something that would later define much of his public persona. Years later, this tweet resurfaced in debates about his personality and decisions, especially after joining the Warriors, as fans revisited it to paint him as more introspective\u2014and less confrontational\u2014than his peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOsama shouldve hooped instead of tryna kill ppl cause he tall as hell!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terry Rozier\u2019s 2011 tweet suggesting Osama bin Laden \u201cshould\u2019ve hooped instead\u201d became one of the most infamous NBA Twitter moments of the decade. Posted just hours before bin Laden\u2019s death on May 2, the timing was surreal\u2014and the take, bizarrely specific. At 6’4″ to 6’6″, bin Laden was technically shooting guard height, even taller than Rozier himself (6’1″). Mike Beauvais later called it a defining post of the 2010s, capturing the wild, unfiltered energy of pre-viral athlete Twitter. Despite its absurdity, the tweet gained over 37K likes and has since lived on in social media legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 8, 2015, NBA legend Paul Pierce tweeted a screenshot of a rocket emoji\u2014rather than using the emoji itself\u2014likely symbolizing excitement over his move to the Washington Wizards. Coming from a long stint with the Celtics and a brief time with the Nets, the rocket may have hinted at a fresh start. But the real highlight? The image format. Fans instantly roasted the post, assuming Pierce wasn\u2019t quite fluent in emoji tech. As emoji use was still evolving, especially among older athletes, his post unintentionally captured a moment of generational adjustment to digital communication norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2019KD has secret accounts that he uses to defend himself and forgot to switch to them when he was replying to this guy I’m actually speechless.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 17, 2017, Kevin Durant appeared to accidentally reveal he was using burner accounts to defend himself online when he replied to a fan\u2019s question from his official @KDTrey5 account instead of a private one. Responding to a query about why he left the Thunder, Durant criticized OKC\u2019s organization, coach Billy Donovan, and the team’s roster, saying it was “just him and Russ.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tweet exploded, fueling theories he\u2019d been secretly clapping back at critics all along. Durant later blamed the slip on grogginess, but the damage was done, turning the moment into one of the most infamous Twitter mishaps in NBA history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 22, 2017, Eric Bledsoe tweeted \u201cI Dont wanna be here,\u201d igniting instant speculation about his dissatisfaction with the Phoenix Suns. Coming off a rough 24-58 season and already having requested a trade during the preseason, Bledsoe\u2019s post was widely seen as a public break with the team. Though he later claimed the tweet referred to being at a hair salon, Suns GM Ryan McDonough dismissed the excuse, and Bledsoe was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks just over two weeks later. The tweet became an iconic moment of NBA drama, capturing the tension between players and management in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 2, 2018, Klutch Sports Group announced LeBron James\u2019 $154 million, four-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers\u2014his third major team move after stints with Cleveland and Miami. The decision marked both a basketball shift and a strategic move toward Hollywood opportunities. His exit from Cleveland, where he delivered a 2016 title, also had economic effects, with the city\u2019s tourism revenue dropping the following year. Orchestrated by longtime agent Rich Paul, the move cemented Klutch Sports’ influence, later expanding into international markets like European soccer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His comments triggered a viral response from @ChocDelight1980: \u201cWin a playoff game then talk,\u201d referencing Portland\u2019s first-round sweep that season despite McCollum\u2019s 21.4 PPG. The jab led to McCollum\u2019s now-famous \u201cI\u2019m trying Jennifer\u201d reply, turning the thread into a meme. Ironically, the following season saw McCollum lead the Blazers to the Western Conference Finals, making the original criticism a key moment in NBA Twitter history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 12, 2020, ESPN\u2019s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that the NBA had suspended its season after Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. The announcement came just hours after the World Health Organization declared the virus a pandemic, making the NBA one of the first major U.S. leagues to shut down operations. With over 1,000 U.S. cases reported at the time, the decision signaled the seriousness of the outbreak. The league faced massive financial setbacks, while teams like the Mavericks stepped up to support arena staff, highlighting the far-reaching effects of the sudden halt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, former Rockets guard Vernon Maxwell took a shot at Jazz fans with a tweet mocking Utah\u2019s internet access, reviving his long-standing rivalry with the team Houston defeated in the 1994 Western Conference Finals. The jab was met with pushback, as fans pointed out Utah cities like Provo and Salt Lake City were among the first to roll out Google Fiber\u2019s gigabit-speed internet. Maxwell, known as \u201cMad Max\u201d for his fiery persona, likely meant the tweet sarcastically\u2014true to form for a player once fined a then-record $20,000 for going into the stands to confront a heckler in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 2, 2025, Shams Charania confirmed a stunning NBA trade: the Lakers acquired Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris from the Mavericks in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick. The Jazz also joined the deal, receiving Jalen Hood-Schifino and two second-rounders. The move reshaped the Western Conference, pairing Doncic with LeBron James and sending Davis to Dallas alongside Kyrie Irving. Mavericks GM Nico Harrison cited a new defensive identity, while the Lakers looked to secure their future with Doncic\u2019s superstar trajectory.

Cuban\u2019s comment about Kobe\u2019s $30.45 million salary quickly backfired, as the 34-year-old Lakers star silenced critics with a vintage performance. The tweet became a defining moment of Kobe\u2019s relentless competitive spirit during a turbulent 2012\u201313 season, which later saw him suffer a major Achilles injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
