Social Networking = trouble!

Most of you probably know the dangers of social networking today; yap a facebook account is fun and might help you get together with old classmates but nowadays employers are doing extensive research on people's accounts looking for reasons to hire or even worse fire potential/current employees..Anyway. I don't want to go too deep you can always check a couple sites about people tweeting or texting too much...Things can get really ugly when it comes down to famous people like I've explained in the recent Brandon Jennings fiasco and the reason of this post is to try and share with you a couple notables tweets from basketball people who keep proving that they don't get it and that they just live in a different planet...
  • Enter Rashad McCants, a 5year NBA veteran known for his scoring ability and selfish play on the court but also for his erratic persona out of it. Rashad is a straight forward guy who uses his twitter to give all kinds of opinions/advice, let's check his thoughts:
That doesn't sound bad; instead it's a totally legit point coming from a guy with a fat pocket who probably dated a couple groupies looking to hit the jackpot. Btw Rashad also used to date Khloe Kardashian...
Another solid advice by Rashad although it makes you wonder about how well he manages his bank account; to his credit the Louis Vuitton toiletries bag is as much of a requirement as Beats headphones in the NBA league.
I failed to mention that Rashad is a Free Agent this summer and he's been looking for a new K, he's only 24y old and his future looks bright right??? If you were wondering where is he spending his time until he finds a job Rashad is too kind to give you the answer...

  • On to my favorite overrated NBA player, Stephon Marbury; Stephon was given the opportunity to resurrect his NBA career last year after being released by the Knicks and playing with the Boston Celtics. This couldn't be a better situation for a player who has been labeled as selfish and not a winner. Well Marbury is also a free agent and he recently rejected an offer from Boston for the veteran's minimum for a chance to compete for an NBA championship, I mean who would say no to that opportunity at the age of 32?? Well Stephon did showing how much of a disconnect there is between professional athletes and the real world...
  • Jeanie Buss is the daughter of Los Angeles Laker owner Jerry Buss. Jeanie went to school at USC and studied business administration. She posed nude for Playboy magazine in 1995, and two years later she posed naked for Sports Illustrated. Jeanie is currently dating Laker coach Phil Jackson, and used to date tennis star John McEnroe..In other words a typical SoCal spoiled broad, oh wait she's also the Executive Vice President of Business Operations of the Lakers!!! Want proof of her basketball operations skills??? Check her twitter from a Finals Game, she's probably talking to her dog about all the important decisions she has to make...
