To be an NBA player is first of all to know how to play a minimum of basketball, but it is also to be scrutinized by all the fans on his every move. In the current League, this now goes through social networks, including Twitter in large part.

NB: it is possible that some translations are not taken literally in French word for word, but that they are adapted in order to be easier to understand without modifying the meaning.
