NBA memo: Rules prohibit mocking of opponents on social media
8:11 PM CT

The NBA office, citing concerns about provoking exchanges between players that could damage the league's reputation, issued a memo to all 30 franchises this week emphasizing rules prohibiting "mocking and/or ridiculing" opponents or official by official team social media accounts.

"While we understand that the use of social media by teams, including during games, is an important part of our business, the inappropriate use of social media can damage the reputation of the NBA, its teams, and its players," NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum wrote in the memo obtained by ESPN.com. "Recently, social media postings (e.g., on Twitter) by some teams have crossed the line between appropriate and inappropriate. In addition to other concerns, such conduct by teams can result in 'Twitter wars' between players that can cause further reputational damage and subject players to discipline by the League.

I'm sure the Grizz are very happy Chandler Portions hit the lottery with those stats he's putting up this year. He's shooting 34.7% and 27.5% on 3's. But hey, at least his free throw shooting has been at an all-time high.

Too bad, I love seeing the league destroy Parsons.

I usually wouldn't be down with slinging poo, but I'm not ashamed to say I don't mind watching it fly straight at Parsons.
