Euro ballers get the NBA Sweets treatment

August 7, 2014

Jose-Calderon-Toblerone
Despite a whole lot of genuinely interesting things happening in the world of basketball right now, it’s a tough time to manage a NBA social media account. Most free agents are signed, the summer league is long over, and there’s still a good chunk of time until pre-season. Throw all that together and NBA Twitter accounts start getting silly. On Wednesday the theme was #NBASweets and Euro ballers in the association didn’t get left out of the nonsense.

Here are the highlights:

Low marks here for the Wolves with Ricky Rubio, not much effort at all.

They're chewy. They're sweet. They're Gallo Bears! #NBASweets pic.twitter.com/p6YYbuMl0Y

A slight step forward for this effort at Danilo Gallinari but we’re still far from perfect.

Gotta go with Swedish Fish, right? #NBASweets @JonasJerebko pic.twitter.com/GwcQPIN7iR

Definitely some marks for creativity here with Jonas Jerebko.

Silly but a bit meh on this Alexey Schved effort

We like the blue and yellow ones the best. #NBASweets pic.twitter.com/npRwGEH0oL

We’re getting there with Timofey Mozgov but it’s not proper silly yet.

Break us off a piece of that Nurkic Kat! #NBASweets pic.twitter.com/PCr0wphMZt

Now we’re getting dumb in a way that works, Jusuf Nurkic and Kit Kats…yeah totally works.

Goran-ge Sherbet too! #NBASweets “@VernauCommaDan: @Suns I think Gorange slices does, too #NBASweets”

Ah now, no way. Rudy Gobert and Goran Dragic have earned shoddy photoshops. If only there was a giant Lithuanian who could save the…

Boom, yes, that’s what we want to see. Jonas Valanciunas isn’t holding a bat, it’s a weapon and he will hurt you if you laugh at rather than with this photo.

And our winner is…

Just perfect Jose Calderon.

We were wondering why there was no Pero Antic sweet but then we realised that nobody in Atlanta would be brave enough to try.
