Game 1 of the 2016 NBA Finals took place on Thursday night, and while we were definitely looking forward to the game, we were also looking forward to what came on our TVs right before it started. Just like he did in 2015, Jimmy Kimmel rounded up a bunch of NBA players for the fourth installment of his NBA-themed “Mean Tweets” and, once again, the players he called on delivered on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Klay Thompson read a mean tweet about his goatee. Russell Westbrook read one about him looking like Jar Jar Binks (and then admitted he doesn't know who Jar Jar Binks is!). Steph Curry read one about him failing to reach puberty. And DeAndre Jordan read one that he should probably contact the cops about, if he hasn’t already (that tweet sounded like it was intended to be more than just "mean"). We kind of wish Kimmel would have called on a few other NBA stars to read tweets because, unlike some of his past "Mean Tweets" segments, this one clocked in at just barely two minutes long. But he managed to wrangle up some pretty big names, so we can't complain about the final product too much here.
Check out the clip above to see some of your favorite NBA players from both past and present scrolling through their mentions. It was, as always, a good time—unless, of course, you were one of the players reading a tweet.
