NBA Social Rankings: Who Won The Week?

JaVale McGee made noise this week... while snoozing—but not even that valiant effort could win the top slot in this week's NBA Social Rankings.

Welcome back to The Crossover’s weekly social media power rankings, where we determine who won the week off the court. Once again, Joel Embiid laid low, and JaVale McGee made noise… while snoozing. All around, this was a pretty good stretch. We’ll rank performances from best to worst. Here’s how the week shook out:

1. C.J. McCollum

good luck in the lottery show this year✊🏻

*plays ‘Ether’ beat*

We hit the lottery by not signing you https://t.co/eSiBaNT061

— CJ McCollum (@CJMcCollum) January 28, 2017

Ohhh, snap! C.J. absolutely flamed Chandler Parsons to take home the top spot this week. If you wanted to see what Chandler said in response, well, it doesn’t really matter. You can’t come back from that.

2. JaVale McGee

I decided to get a gift for the whole team. #allingoodfun #donttakeittooserious #godubs pic.twitter.com/6MHkNbwyzc

If not for one of the great tweets of the season, JaVale would have ran away with this week’s top prize. Days after getting some free Chick-fil-A, he actually had blankets made with Draymond Green’s sleeping face on them, handed them out, and Andre Iguodala put one over his body while he went to sleep. What an amazing performance.

Oh boy, Shaq wanted to clock Chuck right then.

4. Dion Waiters

More Waiters: "I’d rather go 0 for 30 than 0 for 9 because you go 0 for 9 that means you stopped shooting.That means you lost confidence."

Goran Dragic and Dion Waiters now want to be called 7-Eleven. "We're always open," Dion said. (Think about it.)

— Tim Reynolds (@ByTimReynolds) January 31, 2017

Dion Waiters says he is playing with that "philly cheese swag."

— Shandel Richardson (@ShandelRich) January 31, 2017

Yeah, Dion’s back again with the fire quotes.

5. Cavs sideline reporter Allie Clifton

Wait, the Cavs were talking about WHAT?

6. Dwight Howard

Legendary stuff right here, posting your stats after a big win over your old team.

I still have no idea what this is, but Dirk seemed to kill it.

8. Portland Trail Blazers

CJ McCollum is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more

Iggy's song after a Swaggy miss? That’s plain cruel, man.

10. Dallas Mavericks

Kaaaaaa-meeeee-haaaa-meee-HAAAAAAA! 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/4Rici1Q9M0

This clearly took a lot of time and I appreciate it.
