You turn to look at your phone, pictures being posted after Blake Griffin and “Lob City” are going what they do best, dunking. People freaking out saying” OMG yu see that!” and “he is a beast”.
Teams and athletes use Instagram and other social media sites to keep fans feeling like they are part of the team. Teams like the LA Clippers have a instagram page for fans to keep up with what is happening in Clipper Nation. Teams and players with these pages allow fans to see their lives day to day and stay updated on them. But why would someone like Kevin Durant, of Kobe Bryant care about little old us, the fans?

As a fan we are always excited to see and learn more about our favorite athletes like such as their day-to-day lives. Players like Nate Robinson, a person with a large fan base and is well know on the court, can express and show his life and learn something new about him we never even knew before. Seeing the athletes we look up to humbles us. The ability see our superheros using social media apps like instagram, shows why we would look up to them as role models for us in society.
Instagram and other social media site help to not only bring players closer to their fan but allows fans to see how an athlete really lives. Online there is a list of 25 Best Player to Follow on Instagram, and out of the 25 players on the list, 19 of them are are household names and players we all know. Why is that you ask? It’s because these players utilize social media sites, like Instagram, to help their popularity and develop a even stronger fan base.
