NBA Social Rankings: The Knicks Own The Floor... Finally
Welcome back to The Crossover’s weekly social media power rankings, where we determine who won the week off the court. The Knicks dominated the week off the floor—something they’ll never actually do on it—in social and Joel Embiid made yet another appearance. It was a good time. We’ll rank performances from best to worst. Here’s how the week shook out:
1. Phil Jackson
Look, this is all about who won the week online, right? Well, no one dropped more fire than Phil Jackson, who talked about “Bleacher’s Ding” and then dropped some emojis in a follow-up tweet. No one can start more with fewer characters. I’m stoned out of my mind just reading these.
2. New York Knicks
The Knicks made waves with this statement following Charles Oakley’s ejection on Wednesday, and their final line was insanely petty.
3. Boogie
Warning: NSFW
BOOGIEEEE!!!!!
4. Bryan Cranston
Why he thought this was funny, I’ll never know. But he looked like a little kid and it warmed our hearts.
5. Joel Embiid
Speaking of Bryan Cranston… Let’s cook.
6. Sacramento Kings
They’ve done it again!!
7. James Harden
As previously noted, it’s hilarious when grown men act like children.
8. Draymond Green
I want to know what his Postmates order was, though…
9. Bill Walton
Okay, I realized this is from last Thursday, but it was lost in the shuffle. It’s too good not to share. It is the only time I’ve ever wanted to reply to a tweet and say “Dad.”
10. DeAndre Jordan
I’m not sure how this is possible.
