NBA guys always want to be rappers, and naturally, rappers want to be playing basketball in the NBA, so who really follows who?
This came via reddit, where there’s a running count on NBA twitter follows for specific artists. Can you guess who is #1, yep, just look down and you can consume the entire list. The #1 guy loves everything about the NBA.
I have a twitter account that follows every current NBA player, and this is a list of the top 100 Music Artists based on the amount of NBA players that follow them on twitter! Updated for the players on the current rosters + 2 way players as of today.
