They’ve done movies and cartoons. Now, NBA team Twitter accounts are one-upping each other in creating their own Pokemon. They may not create 150 (or 250 or 350 or 450) but there are definitely some gems floating out there. How could one not want their very own Embiidrill (bonus points for “Nidokingjames”)?
It’s super effective! #NBAPokemon pic.twitter.com/ZsEp7NpW6N

The Mavericks and Cavs are both big fans of Charmander apparently:
Before leaving Pallet Town, Professor Oak made sure we left with proper defense…We chose Chandmander! #NBAPokemon pic.twitter.com/9npzCQyOs0

.@dallasmavs Not bad, but when the enemy is weak against a fiery opponent, you really need Charmanderson! #NBAPokemon pic.twitter.com/5iZX5uZVKi

Of course, not every single one was great.
