The NBA side of twitter is one of the only ones to have a bearing on real like. As a person that has been following twitter discourse for a very long time, I’m interested in twitter discourse.

The first step I will take for gathering data is going through NBA twitter discourse for a week, I will be doing this to look for a pattern on how players are talked about or to find if there is a connection to how players are talked about. I will look into NBA players as a conglomerate, and I will look into specific players to see if the discourse about the player changes throughout different times of their career.

After that I will see how each group is perceived by the media and if the discourse of twitter carries ...
