Before They Were Stars, NBA Players Sent Ill-Advised Tweets

For the most part, athletes today are savvy enough not to post anything too dumb to social media. Some of them just turn their accounts over to a castrated social media team, while the rest have seen enough social media controversies snowball to stay safe. But this wasn't always the case.

Some were from before Twitter was a "thing," others from tender-aged college students before they made it big.

There are a bunch of other interesting tweets in there, including Kevin Durant calling somebody a "fag boi," Draymond Green making fun of David Stern's teeth, and numerous players making fun of Lil B.
