Forbes names Crain's reporter Bill Shea one of 50 must-follow sports business Twitter accounts

lol 50, so like one sports business guy from every state? Note that's not a "must-follow basketball" accounts.

They call him funny. You ever read a funny tweet from the guy?

Forbes is useless.

Their franchise valuations are always terrible.....I remember they decided to rank all the baseball GMs one year and ranked the White Sox Kenny Williams dead last right before they won the World Series....

So much jealousy

He has an easy gig but I'm guessing he doesn't make much $$$ since he lives in Hazel Park

So much jealousy

Oh what? Dude writes for a niche media site that wasn't even big when print media was king and his beat is a niche of that media site's coverage. I wouldn't be surprised if more people follow Shill.

I was kidding, relax.

Boom.

I have to laugh that most of his pictures involve free food he consumes. Dude must down like 5000 calories at each event he goes too.

Pistons give GM Jeff Bower contract extension

Detroit targeted by new summer league of ex-NBA players
Former Piston Mark Aguirre will be president of basketball operations for Champions Basketball League
http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20160811/NEWS/160819978/detroit-targeted-by-new-summer-league-of-ex-nba-players?X-IgnoreUserAgent=1&X-IgnoreUserAgent=1

Players announced as part of the Gotham Ballers roster include several well-known former NBA fixtures such as Shawn Marion, Eddy Curry, Kenyon Martin and Daniel "Boobie" Gibson. All but 11 names announced are in their 30s.

The league is limiting itself to former NBA players who have been out of the league three years or less, or up to five years if they had been NBA All-Stars.

George said player salaries will average about $200,000 annually, and that would be hinged on their participation in games and golf outings and other events for a commitment of about 100 days a year.

Sounds pretty cool, I'd watch this. Especially if the Detroit team has former Pistons.

Hopefully, this gets him out of Isiah's shadow.

Got my season ticket money ready. Any time they want to take it.

We need to start a Bill Shea twitter food picture thread

https://twitter.com/Bill_Shea19/status/777548515924930560

Anyone know the code to embed tweet pictures

Looks good but food pics with bites taken out of them are gross/poor form, Mr. Shea.

Let me know if you ever figure it out

Vinny's too busy at RiotFest to do his job here, APPARENTLY. #smh

alright how did you do that

By grabbing the image URL, I assume

click on twitter link, move mouse to the image, right-click "view image", copy the image URL, add img tags around it -- something like that

Some particulars vary based on browser. I use Firefox, mostly.

HATE BILL SHEA

SHILL BEA

I'm surprised a paper like "Crains" allows him to be anti Trump. Crains is basically a GOP mouthpiece.

That's Bill Shea? Was picturing an old guy for some reason.

His picture is on his twitter account fam

How much you want to bet that more basketball courts will equal more shootings and they will have to dismantle the courts. LOL@Bill Shea repeating the fact that he's on vacation 1500 miles away on every tweet. Like he's somebody in life. Dude lives in Hazel Park. Enough said.

Bill "The Blob" Shea will be at Ford Field tomorrow testing the capacity of his arteries. I'm sure he will post pictures.

Any word on if Pinho's going?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyCvjwYXcAAEriX.jpg

Notice all the butter on the side of the roll. He's going for a heart attack today.

Pretty sure pinho is trying to kill him.

Huge bloodletting at Crain's today, I'm trying to reach Bill to make sure he's OK. Not sure about pinho either.

Might have to hop on over to the buzzboard for reax.

THANK GOD

Sort of want to ask if pinho is OK, but I think that might be pushing it.

lol I'm fucking blocked by Bill Shea on Twitter. I have never followed Bill Shea on Twitter.

I may or may not have told him to do that.

Nothing on the buzzboard, btw.

Tahoe, no chance you are buying this shit from Gilbert.

Fuck Dan Gilbert. What a thin skinned little midget. At least Donald Trump is funny.

I wonder how many people followed Dan Gilbert's most famous financial advice:


I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

Ketchup? Pinho wouldn't get caught dead with ketchup on a sausage.

He claims he bought a step counter and he's on a diet and this is after he posted numerous plates of free food he's consumed at the auto show.

I'm noticing he's slowly turning into Hogg with all his "Pro-Woman, Pro Isis immigrant" posts.

What a tweet.

He was a backup arena league qb in Port Huron in 2006.

Wonder if Chauncey is the GM in the wings, but they won't bring him on for a couple years to give him a fair shake since this roster is ass unless Casey pulls some rabbits out of the hat with Ellenson and Stanley.

Whos is Kirk Pinho and is there another thread for actual Pistons News

Pinho’s a punk, this was the Bill Shea thread until Vinny (out of control mod) stole it!

There’s a different, REAL thread for Pistons news pinned at the top of the nba forum. At least there is FOR NOW!
