With some help from Jimmy Kimmel, they’ve gathered some of the meanest (albeit still TV-friendly) tweets they could find. Aside from insulting their skills on the court and a couple of announcers’ voices, people really like calling them fat and ugly.

While Andrew Bogut might play along with being called Bigfoot and Jeff Van Gundy might agree he’s a fool, some of the others aren’t afraid to lash out. They might have an image to maintain, but that doesn’t mean they’ll just let a Twitter troll walk all over them.
