    All 30 NBA Twitter Accounts, Ranked For 2017
    BY MAX RAPPAPORT,ADAM CAPARELL,RUSS BENGTSON,DRIA ROLAND,ANGEL DIAZ
    MAY 25, 2017

    For the past two years, Complex Sports has ranked the each of the 30 team Twitter accounts in the NBA from worst to first. In the most social media savvy professional sports league in the world, the competition for online supremacy is fierce. This year, the field is stronger than ever, as more and more formerly lagging teams have stepped up and begun to actually try to do more than just dump ticket links.

    In both 2015 and 2016, the Portland Trail Blazers took top honors. Will they three-peat this year? Will the Celtics earn the dubious honor of being ranked dead last once again? Will the presence of Joel Embiid lift @Sixers from its No. 6 perch last year through sheer social media osmosis? Without further ado, here are the 2017 NBA Twitter Rankings...

    About us....

    Portland Trail Blazers (@Trailblazers)

    tweet:

    Once again, the Blazers are crowned the NBA’s best Twitter account. They’re the funniest and most consistent, they tell the best stories, and their tweets are hotter, holla (a lil Jigga reference for you youngsters). If you don’t believe us look no further than their tweets during Game 4 of their first-round playoff series versus the Warriors. By halftime the score was 72-48, Golden State. At the end of third the score was 106-80, and all Portland could do was tweet through it. We’ve all been there before. This is what usually happens when someone becomes a meme or gets put on blast for being broke during a flyout meet and greet. Sometimes it helps to get those tweets off; it’s good for your mental health. This self-realization makes the Blazers the best NBA Twitter account three years and running.

    Guy in charge of it, just left for a new job in San Diego. I'm taking over starting at the draft next month.

    Joking about taking it over of course, but Kris left for a new job in SD last month. Not sure who is taking it over.

    I nominate Sly.

    He should have plenty of time since he doesn't do anything around here anyway.

    It would be a really fun gig. I wonder how one gets a job running a Twatter account.

    I'm serious I think Sly has a great sardonic wit and would be great at it.

    Plus all that free time he has....

    I had to look up sardonic, but after looking it up found that comment shallow and pedantic.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    There are people who went to college, and even business school, and focused on social media engagement. I don't know if the Blazers' twitter guy was someone like that, but there are specialists who will take over a company's twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc, (or create accounts if the company doesn't have them) and try to build a social media brand.

    Kudos to the Blazers media team. I know management places a high emphasis on being great in social media.
