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.

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.

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.
