The Chirp: Free Agency Emoji Edition
We may have to rename this offseason the first NBA Emoji Free Agency. Earlier today, with little added context, NBA players started tweeting emojis. First an airplane, then a truck, then a rocketship. A version of Twitter Bat Signals, the emoji outburst surrounded one man’s free agency decision: DeAndre Jordan.
UPDATE: DeAndre Jordan has agreed to re-sign with the Clippers on a four-year deal.
