The Milwaukee Bucks are currently in a race to try & end their 2 year playoff drought, but will have to deal with some controversy from one of their key players.
Forward Charlie Villanueva used a social networking site called Twitter to post a simple one-word message to his screen name that simply said “tweet”.
Villanueva later explained that the term was used for himself to step up his play during a recent game against the Boston Celtics, which Milwaukee won.
Villanueva had a meeting with head coach Scott Skiles on the issue, but was not suspended nor fined for his actions.
The 4th year pro from Connecticut University is currently having his best season, as Villanueva is averaging career-highs in made three-pointers (78), three-pooint field goal percentage (36.5%), free-throw percentage (85.0%) rebounds per game (6.9) & points per game (16.6).
Fellow NBA players Shaquille O’Neal & Chris Bosh are also users of Twitter, which is among Myspace & Facebook as the world’s most popular social networking sites.
