    Which players twitters out there do you think is actually the player itself and NOT the players' PR team?


    like for example Lowry/Ariza update their accounts themselves (judging from their updates and twitpics)

    but players like Yao/Brooks its appears to be more of their PR team


    like Shaq's is actually him
    Rudy Gay
    Charlie V
    Bosh
    Ron Artest
    kevin love

    are all players i can think of where they handle the account themselves and not a PR firm

    But there are several out there that are the official twitter of the player but its not them doing it.


    I guess I am just curious...I was talking to a friend of my friend over lunch a few weeks back and she works for PR firm that handles Amare and she is responsible for his FB and Twitter accounts (or has been for the past 2 months)

    She said one of Amare's people usually will call her and tell her to have "Amare" tweet something otherwise she has to do all the updates herself


    oh and i was told that carl landry twitter account was fake

    I think Yao's twitter is updated by himself, but his fb is updated by his PR team.

    those are the list of verified accounts

    but i am curious to find out which ones are actually the player themselves and not the players' PR team tweeting on behalf of the player


    sort of like those blog entries on tmac.com...those are written by someone else to help tracy's image.
