Allen Iverson Breaks NBA Signing News on Twitter

by Warren Riddle on September 9, 2009 at 04:26 PM


Basketball player Allen Iverson has been detailing his arduous return from a back injury, and his hopes of landing on a new NBA team, with almost daily updates on Twitter. Today, he scooped ESPN, FOX Sports, and every other sports media outlet by announcing his return, and his new team, when he tweeted, "God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career."

Twitter's reputation is certainly shifting, particularly as the site receives more and more recognition as an actual news outlet. But, even though the tweets should endear Iverson to Grizzlies fans, he might not receive the warmest welcome from the Memphis writers he beat to the punch. They might prefer that he make headlines on the court, and not by schooling people off of it. [From: Mashable]
