Twitter Sports Rundown

The ever-talkative Donald Trump has a new nemesis, and this time it’s a fellow entrepreneur in Mark Cuban.

Trump apparently thought that Cuban’s show Shark Tank was cancelled, and sent him a demeaning letter, which Cuban read aloud on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Naturally, Trump mustered up his twitter courage and keeps giving Cuban a hard time.

I love watching dummy @mcuban promote on ok show named Shark Tank—but he is just a small part of that show.

When @mcuban had his own show, The Benefactor, it totally “bombed!”

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 14, 2013

Via @espn: @dallasmavs “most likely scenario remains finishing a frustrating ninth in the West” es.pn/9fEWjz

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 14, 2013

There’s a reason @mcuban’s partners can’t stand him and on top of that, the team sucks!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 14, 2013

…Those stupid people bought @mcuban‘s company (of which he owned a piece).

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 14, 2013

.@mcuban has less TV persona thanany other person I can think of. He’s an arrogant, crude, dope who met some very stupid people…

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 14, 2013

.@realdonaldtrump Lets go on @jayleno #TonightShow and hug it out.If anyone can use a hug….

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) March 14, 2013

I watched the last two minutes of the @dallasmavs game last night— I just loved watching them lose.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 15, 2013

. @realdonaldtrump Are you telling me I’m going to have to get a restraining order on you at some point ? & Thanks for watching .. again !

In a decision that surprised many, Serge Ibaka was fined $25,000 and not suspended for his hit to the most valuable region of Blake Griffin.

Matt Barnes, who was suspended in February for repeatedly shoving Greg Stiemsma, didn’t like that Ibaka wasn’t suspended.

You can INTENTIONALLY grab or hit someone in the balls & not get suspended, but you push someone & get suspended. #ImConfused

— Matt Barnes (@Matt_Barnes22) March 5, 2013

In case you’re wondering how severe Barnes’ “push” was, well, it certainly wasn’t one to be overlooked by the league.

He went on to add this.

Let me or @mettaworldpeace do that & I guarantee its a 5game suspension.. I luv hv there are different rules, for different people!

— Matt Barnes (@Matt_Barnes22) March 5, 2013

And then this.

So if I would have back handed Ibaka, I would have been the only one to get suspended right??????????????????????????

KD is not nice! Had to get that in there.

Kevin Durant may have only spent one season in Austin, but he’s still faithful to his alma mater, Texas.

After tweeting about the Longhorns’ thrilling comeback victory over Oklahoma, he was greeted by James Fraschilla, son of ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, in a retorting manner.

He decided to respond, and pointed out why Texas’ season has been so awful.

@jamesfraschilla yea yea, as long as we beat Oklahoma ill take it, plus our pg was out all year! Enjoy your first round exit

— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) February 28, 2013

KD isn’t to be taken lightly. I would imagine him to be a talented debater, and I’m sure Skip Bayless would love to have his chance with him.

I guess this at least confirms that Dennis Rodman does indeed write his own tweets.

The Worm is in North Korea with the Harlem Globetrotters filming a TV show, and made the false assumption that Gangnam Style star PSY resided in Kim Jong-un’s country.

@dennisrodman I’m from #SOUTH man!!! kk

— PSY (@psy_oppa) February 27, 2013

As you can see, PSY was quick to correct him. I kind of doubt that Rodman even knew that North and South Korea were separate countries.

Is “kk” South Korean for “You disgraced my country and now I will destroy you”? Because I’d totally be okay with that.

Deadspin was at it again today as they posted a conversation between J.R. Smith and a female follower in which he asked the high school girl if she was “trying to get the pipe,” in response to her attending his game that night.

As you can imagine, the phrase “You trying to get the pipe,” is taking Twitter by storm, calling for the hashtag “#YouTryinToGetThePipe.

I guess we can call Smith a good sport for tweeting this a few moments ago:

#YouTryinToGetThePipe? instagr.am/p/WAxFHatfLy/

— JR Smith (@TheRealJRSmith) February 21, 2013

The picture:

Classic JR.

Update:

Smith tweets again.
And again it’s a picture.
And again it’s hilarious:

Lil Wayne just wanted to watch some basketball and cheer for his Lakers.

And that, apparently, is enough to be removed from AmericanAirlines Arena.

According to a tweet from the rapper’s official Twitter account, Lil Wayne was forced to leave by police because he was simply cheering for his Lakers:

So I’m @ da Heat game right, rootin 4 da Lakers kuz dats my team & would u believe they got police 2 make me leave?! Wow! F#€k da Heat

— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 10, 2013

Last season, Lil Wayne had problems with the Oklahoma City Thunder for not allowing him entrance into a playoff game. Come to find out, he did not have a ticket. So, naturally, there was something else going on tonight besides him just cheering for his Lakers:

That’ll do it.

Troll hard, LeBron.

Dunk contest?

— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 8, 2013

During his time off from basketball, Lakers’ Metta World Peace took to Twitter to wish his followers a happy Chinese New Year,  hoping that they all have a great Year of the Snake:

Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese fans! Have a great year of the snake!

— Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) February 6, 2013

But there’s one problem:

Sorry I’m early…Chinese New Year’s on Sunday.Hope y’al enjoy anyway

— Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) February 7, 2013

Shake it off.

Do you?

The Rockets hit an amazing 23 three pointers in Tuesday’s victory over the Warriors, and Chandler Parsons took to twitter to stick it to Warriors’ head coach Mark Jackson.

Hand down, man down!! Big win for us. Wheels up to Miami.

— Chandler Parsons (@ChandlerParsons) February 6, 2013

Pretty clever tweeting by Parsons, who has an underrated personality as far as social media goes. “Hand down, man down”, of course, is Mark Jackson’s famous line from his broadcasting days.
