Westbrook back on Twitter

 

 

Russel Westbrook shocked the Twitter world last Thursday when he tweeted for the first time since December 29th! The tweet reads, "Twitter family immmm backkk and Officially #TeamJordan @Jumpman23 Ready to come fly with me?? #whynot http://lockerz.com/s/252234281 ."

 

Russel joined Team Jordan earlier this month on top of joining with Adidas. Seems he is becoming quite the marketing figure-head. I think that Russ signing with Team Jordan had something to do with his return to Twitter. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more tweets marketing Air Jordan and other various Jordan products.

 

The return of Russ to Twitter also means the return of "#whynot Wednesdays." This is possibly my favorite day for Twitter. On "#whynot Wednesdays," Russel retweets people who hashtag #whynot and tag him in their tweets. "Why not?" is the question that Russel uses to motivate himself and others, whether they are getting extra reps, studying extra, reaching goals, etc.

 

I am an avid #whynot Wednesday participant, but I have yet to receive a retweet.

 

So Russel, if you are reading this, could you help a guy out? We have the same birthday! November 12th! You're my boy! C'MON!!

 

Questions from Thunder Smack Followers

 

Mike Ottinger - Can the Thunder handle Lebron James and the Miami Heat this year?

 

Jared - The Miami Heat have made strong acquisitions during the offseason including Ray Allen. I'm not going to lie, they look scary. Possibly stronger than last year. But to answer your question, yes. The Thunder have the experience of being in the finals. They now know what a finals loss tastes like. The goal for Oklahoma City is the same as it was last year, win an NBA championship. Look for OKC to do whatever it takes to reach that goal no matter WHO is in the way.
