He does digital media for the Warriors and warriorsworld, so he’s got the inside scoop about the Dubs for all of his followers.
@JRAM_91
Jordan Ramirez works with @warriorsworld.
You may know who he is because of this meme:

He may not have been able to answer David Lee's question because of nerves but he definitely knows a lot about the Warriors.
@juliephayer
Julie Phayer does digital marketing and social media for the Golden State Warriors, so her followers get behind-the-scenes information about the team…not to mention pictures and videos!

Now for the players!
@StephenCurry30
Why should you follow him? He’s Stephen Curry. He tweets about his game performances, interacts with the fans, and there's also his awesome promotions for fans - he conducts a SC30 contest on the 30th of every month where fans get the chance to win prizes from Steph.
There's also the now-traditional “Lock in!” tweet before every game.
(Clears throat)..............LOCK IN!!!!

#SC30 contest time and since the@Panthers and @49ers are both headed to the playoffs, let's center this (cont)http://t.co/rjPO3C5O7m

Did I mention that he’s Stephen Curry?
@andrewbogut
Andrew Bogut is hilarious. He may seem like a serious guy on the court, but once you follow him on Twitter, you’ll feel a bit different about the intimidating Australian. He lets his fans know that he really appreciates them, sharing his feelings after games and tweeting hilarious things about his personal life.
Woahhh twitter really is a whole new realm when on painkillers. I have found worlds that I never knew existed.....or is that just the pills?

Evicted by the landlord!! (not really, he is selling the house so won't renew the lease). Checking out a few pads tomorrow.. #eastbay

He lets his fans know exactly how much he appreciates them:
Yesterday @susanhlee brought this sign to the game. Had to surprise her w/ a card..Thank you for coming!#DubNationpic.twitter.com/qeR4mbVInH
— Harrison Barnes (@hbarnes) April 11, 2014
He takes to twitter to discuss TV shows:
True detective or house of cards?? Can't decide which one is better...
— Harrison Barnes (@hbarnes) March 12, 2014
...and he definitely won’t let you forget that it’s Gameday!
Gameday !!
