Twitter has changed the way fans are able to interact with their favorite athletes.

Several stars use the social media platform to answer questions from fans or to simply let fans know what they enjoy doing during their time away from the court or field.

In honor of Twitter’s fifth anniversary,
Sports Illustrated came up with a list of the Top-100 sports people to follow.

The list was created via a poll of the Sports Illustrated staff.

For SI.com’s inaugural Twitter 100, we polled more than 50 Sports Illustrated staffers — from reporters to writers to editors — who are hard-core Twitter users and asked them which feeds they considered essential to their daily routine for finding news, information and entertainment from the sports world.

The list was revealed in alphabetical order so there is no way to determine who the top person to follow is, but four Valley athletes were mentioned.

Paul Bissonnette
Phoenix Coyotes forward, 108K followers, @biznasty2point0

Darnell Dockett
Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman, 74.4K followers, @ddockett

Jared Dudley
Phoenix Suns forward, 77.6K followers, @jareddudley619

Larry Fitzgerald
Arizona Cardinals Wide Receiver, 808K followers, @larryfitzgerald
