THE SPORT COUNT

And when we say best, we kind of mean worst.

More often than not, the Tweeters of the league tend towards the mundane, updating us on which city they’re in, which city they’re about to be in, or what kind of food they’re eating. But some offer a little more.

Over the coming weeks, The Sport Count will be profiling, compiling and analysing the cream of the Twitter crop.

Presumably, the oft-injured Pacer preemptively signed up to Twitter so he’d have something to do while watching Indiana games from behind the bench, in street clothes:

At church, he'll get all up in the Eucharist, son.

Most people don't know that when Magic, Stockton and the Big O weren't playing, they were brushing their teeth and doing poos. It's the only way.

To make sure you're still a champion point guard.

Ask him next time you play the Spurs. That won't be awkward at all.

Rashad McCants | Following: 449 | Followers: 7192

The former boyfriend of Khloe Kardashian (she’s the bigger Kardashian — the one who has literally no justification for being famous, as opposed to just very little) is a fairly prolific Twitter user:

Yes, there is literally no feeling like drinking a Red Bull by yourself at a club.

If Jamaal Tinsley had Twitter, this kind of Tweet would be a daily occurrence.

Kevin Harlan, don't get any ideas about using that expression.

'Show me the minimum!'

Wait, Twitter was around in 2004?

Easy to do when you're making $6.7m without an expectation that you'll actually play basketball.

Give your boy T.J. Ford a call.

Shelden Williams | Following: 59 | Followers: 3,407

Shelden seems like a very sweet guy. A very sweet guy who sleeps a lot and eats a lot, and tells us about every single second of it.

Sleeping and eating. That's what Shelden does.

I wasn't kidding.

As you read this, Shelden is either sleeping or eating. Or both.

Detlef Schrempf | Following: 40 | Followers: 923

Retired Seattle sharpshooter Detlef Schrempf has one aim on Twitter: to cement his place as the whitest man in the entire world.

Golfing. That's a good start to the campaign.

'Rolling down Rodeo with a shotgun, these people ain't seen a German man since their grandparents were friends with one.'

The word 'realtor.' One step closer to Whitest Man status.
