Many players, commentators, and fans use it as a way to determine who is performing well, who is not, and who is creating the most noise.

Gregg Popovich, the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, cautions his players from jumping into social media too quickly.

Social media can share noteworthy stories, highlights, and other information with players, but it can also inflict a great deal of hatred.

That might heavily affect gamers’ mental health by making them doubt who they are.

For instance, since entering the league, rookie Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs has been heavily involved on social media.

Fans have been attentively observing him; some claim he is living up to the hype, while others say he isn’t delivering what is expected of him.

Wembanyama would undoubtedly become sidetracked from being the greatest player he can be if he read every comment about himself online.

Popovich wants his young players to be totally committed to their winning team and each other.

They become happier and healthier, in addition to becoming better basketball players, when they abstain from social media.
