Spelling Teachers Have Rough Few Weeks

If you’re going to vote in the All-Star voting, bless you. But, please make sure you’re spelling the name of your chosen player(s) correctly, or that vote just won’t count. If enough people misspell a player’s name, the error could cost them a spot on the team. And that would make both the player, and your elementary school spelling teacher, very upset.

Be Neat, Retweet

The @okcthunder Twitter account provides countless tweets worthy of sharing on your own Twitter page, and this week’s highlight is great for three major reasons:

  1. It displays a stat that (although now outdated) proves Westbrook is not human.
  2. It shares with the world a really neat picture.
  3. By retweeting, you also vote for Russ to become an All-Star.
