Last time it was movies. This time, the teams of the NBA used cartoons as the inspiration for today’s battle of NBA Twitter accounts.
Unlike the movie posters, which were uniformly excellent, there was a lot more variance in quality for what teams offered for #NBACartoons.
There was the Pacers’ awesome King of the Hill.

The Charlotte Hornets were lazy (at least they admitted it).

I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to look at Pikachu the same way ever again.
