I think the first time I really noticed summer league was 2 years ago, getting to see both Greg Oden and Kevin Durant play after the hyped NBA Draft of 2007. But this summer we get a glimpse of what is to come.
First, ESPN analyst David Thorpe is tweeting from the league. Click here for his feed. Then I heard that Kevin Love was tweeting from the Minnesota bench during the summer league action. Click here to check K Love's take:
"Score is 36 to 32 at half...j Flynn looks really good, need to get Wayne Ellington going, but these dudes are GOOD"
"Score is 36 to 32 at half...j Flynn looks really good, need to get Wayne Ellington going, but these dudes are GOOD"
So where is this going? Naturally things are at different stages of connection. I still have to follow Drake Basketball summer league play via message boards like this. As fans, we want real time info and we want it wherever we are. I would love to see college teams having a grad assistant tweet from the locker room and bench during games, then see it in a feed where I also see the opposition's takes. There's always going to be a bias in it (can't imagine K Love ripping apart his teammates, even if they deserved it). But that real time access is pretty exciting to imagine!
