Shane Victorino Takes Over NBA on TNT Twitter Account, Live Tweets Lakers-Rockets Game

Shane Victorino‘s World Series championship tour just keeps rolling along.

A few days after recapping the Red Sox’ title run with Jonny Gomes on Conan, Victorino lent his digital voice to a sport other than baseball.

The right fielder was handed control of the official NBA on TNT Twitter account for Thursday night’s highly anticipated Lakers-Rockets matchup — Dwight Howard‘s first time lining up against Los Angeles since his one-year SoCal experiment crashed and burned last season.

Random? Sure. But such is life for a World Series champion.

Check out some of the highlights from the #ShaneTakeover below.

Looking forward to taking over @nbaontnt twitter handle 🔥 away fans 👊 #ShaneTakeover @SHAQ @TurnerSportsEJ http://t.co/noIelYoHC1
