Why All NBA fans need to follow Jared Dudley

                                         
Why All NBA fans need to follow Jared Dudley.*When writing this article I was debating on whether to title it what I have, or to title it “Jared Dudley Gives Away Tickets To Almost Every Away Game He Plays In, If You Love Basketball, You Should Probably Follow Him.”



For years, Jared Dudley has been one of the more interactive and friendly NBA twitter-ers, but lately, he has taken it to a whole new level as he searches for Clipper fans in the cities he visits. Perhaps he has no friends or family to give his tickets to or maybe he just wants to be awesome, I’m going with the latter.

Listen, don’t take my word for it, just check out some of Jared’s recent tweets. And this is just in the past 3 days!








First and foremost, nothing will give you a bigger chance at winning tickets than being a fan of the Clippers, Jared loves keeping his fans happy and that is awesome. Most tickets will go to a fan of the Clippers in a city outside of LA. So if you aren’t already, he is another reason to root for them, their players treat their fans awesomely.


Additionally, Jared Dudley likes asking questions about his teammates, if he is playing in a town that they grew up in or played ball in. On Wednesday, the Clippers play the Celtics and you should know that Dudley played College Ball in Boston! So he is either going to have no tickets away because he has 1000 college friends to keep happy or he is going to have an awesome question for you. Im guessing maybe that he started 100 consecutive games in his college career, or that his career high is 36 points against Villanova.

 So if you are asking yourself, How can I win tickets from Jared? Check out my cheat sheet below, it may help, oh and just always be ready to google and tweet quickly!
