Worst On Ground

It was great to see Amare Stoudamire win Best on Ground in last week's edition but this week he (or his team) made the mistake of the automated blog post.  Adding a note to his fans that was obviously written before Game 5 but it was posted after the Western Conference Finals had finished.  (Phoenix lost)

Perhaps Amare needs some Sports Geek help? Try Social Media Athlete Training.

This week's Best On Ground goes to Kathleen Hessert for this tweet, are you ready for this game changer?
