Magic Johnson, Paul George, plus more absolutely fried in Jimmy Kimmel’s NBA Mean Tweets

2017 NBA Mean Tweets are funny as ever

Jimmy Kimmel released NBA Players Read Mean Tweets #5 ahead of Game 1 of the NBA Finals as usual. It was hilarious and also topical, as usual.

Somehow, Magic Johnson always gets hit with the meanest tweets. Like, every year!

Poor Joel Embiid. The mind that came up with Trust the Process is definitely smarter than a squirrel.

Aww, Paul George! You’re worth more than that to me.

Karl Malone straight up refused to read his. I guess it was really mean. (But I hope it was about his mustache.)

Possibly the funniest roast was to James Harden. He took it with his signature eye roll.

Please, Jimmy Kimmel, you have to keep them coming.
