Is there anything funnier for basketball fans than Mean Tweets NBA Edition? Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel Live, for blessing us with this incredible segment.
The fifth installment of Mean Tweets NBA Edition came out Thursday, the night ABC airs Game One of the NBA Finals. Previous editions have featured Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin, and many other NBA stars. Kimmel gets a good crowd.
This installment includes some of the biggest names in hoops, mainly players with some other figures mixed in: Zach LaVine, DeAndre Jordan, Mike Conley Jr., Paul George, Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker, Jay Williams, Caron Butler, Doc Rivers, Walt Frazier, Michelle Beadle, Joel Embiid, James Harden, Magic Johnson, Shaquille OâNeal, and Karl Malone.
So, the real question is: who got roasted the worst? There are a number of contenders.
The opening tweet about Zach LaVineââZach LaVine looks like the type guy that tried his girlfriendâs bra on in college as a joke, but then kinda liked itââsets the tone perfectly.
Devin Booker got it pretty bad. The Twitter user says Booker âlooks like a fancy lesbian.â
Everyone seems to take the jokes in good spirits, including Paul George, who the tweeter says âcould be traded for like half a bag of saltine crackersâ; Mike Conley, whose head apparently looks like a pineapple; and Michelle Beadle, whose hair looks to one Twitter user like it hasnât been washed since the late 1990s. Watching people laugh at themselves is one of the best things about this segment.
The closer, Karl Malone, steals the show, though. He refuses to read his tweet and says, âKarl Malone ainât doing this s***.â Classic Mailman.
Game One of the NBA Finals between the Warriors and Cavaliers is airing right now on ABC.
