Frank Kaminsky’s Twitter bio says it all: “I occasionally have a pretty solid tweet.”
The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball program will honor the 2015 national player of the year on Thursday night by retiring his jersey. To celebrate, and since No. 44’s also a pretty funny guy, let’s take a look back at some of the finest of his plentiful tweetosphere moments.
Frank the Tank hasn’t gifted us with any Twitter gold since mid-November, right around the time the 24-year-old Charlotte Hornets forward’s third NBA season started. But he’s active in the offseason with subjects ranging from sports criticism to millennial pop culture references, including reading for the part of Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood. (We’ll get to that one in a minute.)
