“Trae Young has hair that looks like a lollipop that got dropped on the carpet.”: Shaquille O’Neal, Kyle Lowry and other NBA stars react to Mean Tweets on Jimmy Kimmel

NBA stars such as Trae Young, Shaquille O’Neal, Ja Morant, and more react to Mean Tweets – 2021 NBA season on Jimmy Kimmel

The rise of the Internet has its own merits and demerits. While it gave the NBA a bigger platform and a better reach to audiences within and outside the USA, it also gave a rise to trolls. People on the internet usually say whatever comes to their minds, more often than not, without thinking of the consequences.

While the current generation of NBA players has grown a thick skin to all the haters, there are still times when the players cannot hold back from replying to the trolls. Kevin Durant is one of those players that never shies away from sharing whatever is on his mind. However, people have also found ways to use this criticism and make something light out of it. Late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel hosts a series of ‘Mean Tweets’, where he makes the celebrities read mean tweets directed at them.
