Players were towering, athletic fish in a fish bowl, only to be gawked at on the court before leaving the confines of the arena to lead their own private, mysterious lives. Fast forward to this offseason, and anybody with an Internet connection knows who Jared Dudley worked out with this summer, what disguise Steve Nash wore when playing pickup ball in China and even that Amare Stoudemire was going in for more eye surgery in July – before the team made an official announcement or a beat reporter broke the news.” [...] [...] Great piece from Michael Schwartz of Valley of the Suns on social media and the NBA: ”For years, fans could only view their NBA heroes through the lenses of the media and a PR-savvy league.

For me, being away from USA and with very few TV material about NBA, the Internet is more than necessary. I am still learning to use social media to talk with other Suns and NBA fans, but it's great to see that there's a huge road ahead in terms of what the organizations and the fans/costumers can achieve working together.

The Wolves are also ahead of the curve with their #Twolves Chatterbox on their website that collects and posts all T-Wolves talk on social media. It's great to see teams like them and the Suns among others really embracing the great new developments of social media. Great piece Michael, very well done.
