From Team USA Men’s Basketball asleep on a plane to mean muggin’ in their Ralph Lauren outfits, Twitter and Instagram have given fans an unprecedented look at the behind the scenes goings on as the team prepares to wins gold at the London Olympics.
We have seen a lot of funny stuff from these guys, especially Kevin Love and Deron Williams. At Friday’s Opening Ceremony, Williams posted a series pictures with fellow NBA Stars from other countries like Andrei Kirilenko and Tony Parker or athletes from other sports like Hurdler Lolo Jones (contrary to popular belief she is not representing the US Virgin Islands). It really gives you a sense that even though they are the highest paid people there, they really appreciate the global importance of what is going on.
