Twitter turned eight yesterday and unveiled a thing to embarrass everyone, tracking down their first tweets ever.
Don’t worry. I did the work for you and looked up everyone on the Thunder’s.

Chose hometown of IowaFalls for my first tweet cause ive had alot of firsts here…honestly..IowaFalls=finally bored enough to start twitter — Nick Collison (@nickcollison4) May 22, 2009
Nothing better than self-deprecation of your hometown. The shame of this tweet is, Collison showed off how entertaining and funny he is, but we only get small takes once every two months.
Practice then game tonight

That tweet is from March 2013. Lin and the Rockets played the Warriors that night. He did not drop 40. He dropped 15.

Just got done playing paintball… You boi is a best.. Think I’m Ready to go pro lol — Perry Jones III (@Perry_Jones1) September 26, 2010
I want to watch Perry Jones paintball now. I imagine him being the guy that is super careful, letting everyone run out first while crawling like 80 yards through the tallish grass just to shoot one guy.
just created his Twitter account! Follow me!!

Vote for Thunder Girls! NBA Dance team bracket voting is underway. OKC vs. Phoenix until 1pm Wed. Vote at thunder.nba.com. Who needs NCAA?
— OKC THUNDER (@okcthunder) March 17, 2009
A perfect representation of what the @okcthunder would be. Boring, not informative and entirely a complete marketing device.
And, because I enjoy public humiliation:
@DaveJMatthews I challenge you to ping-pong. Next time you’re in Oklahoma, let’s duel.
