Best NBA Hashtags to Grow Your Social Media Following

Hashtags, while popularized by Twitter, have been an integral piece of internet culture and coding blocks since the advent of the internet.  Meant to serve as a means to cross-reference content and topical relevancy, hashtags are popular across nearly all the major social media sites and powerhouses.

And whether you’re looking to grow your Instagram account and attract new followers, and maybe even an NBA player or two, or just looking to promote a highlight reel you’ve compiled, or even if you’re just looking to show off your courtside NBA seats, these are the best NBA hashtags to use to grow your social media following.

Why Hashtags Are Important

According to recent data, nearly 90% of teenagers aged 13-17 have at least one social media account.  Similarly, nearly 72% of adults have at least one social media account.  And across the globe, over 3.6 billion individuals have some form of a social media account.

With such a wide reach, social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok have adopted the hashtag symbol to group terms, phrases, and content relevancy.  That is, in order to group similar content and find new content, social media giants utilize hashtags as their primary methodology.

And if you are looking to promote your own content, then the single best way to do so is to utilize proper hashtags within your post.  Utilizing the proper hashtag will help to promote your own content within the feed of other users and can help to both popularize and make viral your content.

Why Are NBA Specific Hashtags Important?

Similarly, if you are looking to go viral or capture the attention of basketball and NBA fans, then utilizing the proper hashtags will help you to do so.  Many avid and casual NBA and basketball fans search for basketball related hashtags and look to see team and league specific highlights via these hashtags.

By utilizing the proper NBA hashtags, you not only increase your own chances of garnering more attention but also of having one of your posts go viral and reach a critical mass of new followers.  In addition, by using NBA and basketball specific hashtags, you may just be featured on broadcast media, having your latest highlight reel or unique picture shown off to millions of households across the world.
