NBA superstars and players generally face enough media scrutiny to last them a long while, but with the continuous growth of social media, fans get to interact with athletes they either love or despise. As such, any person has the opportunity to tell a high-profile personality exactly what they think about them.

That is something that Jimmy Kimmel picked up on and introduced into his show Jimmy Kimmel Live. Before taking on a new guest on his show, he goes hunting for the most mean and disparaging tweets aimed towards his guest. He then forces said guest to sit down in a room and read out the tweet.

Well, on Sunday a video appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live channel, featuring all NBA personalities as they take part of the amusing segment. Other than a couple of NBA broadcasters, the lineup of players includes Metta World Peace, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Matt Barnes, Andre Iguodala and Rajon Rondo.
