It’s incredible. The feeling of every single NBA fan who was ready to refresh their phones while looking at Adrian Wojnarowski’s twitter page on the fateful evening of June 30th, 2019. The instant when they saw their team get their prized player, or if they didn’t. This is a the tale of NBA Free Agency, and how it has an effect of 90% of America’s mental stability. Your group chat going crazy, all the analysts making their free agent predictions, and all the damn money in the world being spent. In the first 8 hours of Free Agency over $3 Billion was spent on contracts. And the once place to find all the juicy rumors and breaking news, NBA Twitter. NBA twitter has its own nucleus in the social media universe. Each twitter community has their leaders and for NBA twitter they consist of sports analysts who give all of us worshippers every single rumor and hot take that is spread across the league. They are Woj @wojespn, Stephen A. Smith @stephenasmith (who we should all pray for right now), Rob Perez @WorldWideWob (who we should also pray for), and Shams Charania @ShamsCharania. When that clock hit 6:00PM ET on June 30th the real ones already knew what was coming. The ill-informed fans of this beautiful league were shocked and amazed when they saw that Kevin Durant announced he was signing with the Brooklyn Nets. Woj already had tweeted that Durant was signing with the Nets at 4:52PM. Then all hell broke loose. The months of rumors and “sources tell ESPN” were finally coming to life, and the big money contracts came pouring in like a Black Friday Walmart stampede.
Dear Free Agency, We Love You
