Hooped Up

To quote, English writer and critic Edith Sitwell. “Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.”

With that quote, I give you the All-Eccentric team. To make this squad you had to be on a NBA roster in the past year and be considered borderline crazy to the untrained eye.

The NBA has been front and center of the twitternology line and every team and nearly every player now has a Twitter account spitting out randomness 24/7 and I love it! With that said, there are five players that do it the best and they have been named to the Hooped Up All-Twitter First Team.

To make this team you have to have an active account, it has to be certified and you have to be a Twitter ninja.

Late last year, much was made about the lack of efficiency a few NBA player charities where run with.  However, I believe that any recipient of a charitable donation no matter the size, appreciates the contribution and nobody’s humanitarian efforts should be diminished.

For this edition of the All-Anything NBA Team, I’ve assembled the “All NBA Charity First Team”.

To make this prestigious team, you still must be playing in the league and have a charitable organization that is exemplary. 

Happy reading and get involved.
