Each day, BasketballNews.com scours #NBATwitter to bring you the best tweets from the previous day. Some are insightful, some are just hilarious (so we had to include them).
Without further ado, here are the tweets of the day for February 5, 2021.
What It’s All About
Lol my grandmom texted me this after watching our game and watching me play against the Clippers for the first time 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️ #MrLeonard pic.twitter.com/RsLm6Dnmud

The Cleveland Cavaliers may have lost to the Los Angeles Clippers (and Mr. Leonard), but that didn’t mean anything to Lamar Stevens’ grandmother, who was in awe that her grandson was guarding Kawhi in an NBA game. This is one of many wholesome tweets from yesterday.

This is sadly accurate. Luckily, we have four additional movies to show us how this story played out, and hopefully how Zion’s does as well.

Being able to play on the biggest stage against both of your brothers is something many dream about, but for the Holiday brothers it became a reality. (Make this the All Star game)
Defense Wins Championships?

Missing your entire starting lineup and holding the Philadelphia 76ers to just 105 points (and winning the game) is an accomplishment, as CJ McCollum recognized. Let the trade rumors begin!
That’s That Kentucky Wildcats Basketball, Baby
Wall is planking and Boogie is.. well, boogying. pic.twitter.com/6XY50KHx2m

The Boogie and Wall reunion is probably the best storyline in the NBA right now. The Rockets have never been more fun, and neither superstar has ever looked like they were enjoying themselves as much as John and DeMarcus do right now.
Defensive Liabilities

This is a common problem -- getting lost in Kelly Oubre Jr.’s eyes. Not just for the fans, but apparently for the Dallas Mavericks as well. What if Adam Silver starts making him wear goggles?
