BRIEF: Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan read mean tweets on 'Jimmy Kimmel'

June 05--Being an NBA player isn't all glamor and glitz. The spotlight also comes with some negatives, such being torn apart on social media.

On a recent episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," some players read mean tweets they've received. Clippers stars Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan were among the participants.

Here's what someone tweeted at Jordan: "DeAndre Jordan looks like that uncle at a cookout that sticks his fork in ya plate."

Responded Jordan: "Well, I think that sharing is caring."

Here's what @StayKaziming tweeted at Griffin: "GOOD BYE BLAKE GRIFFIN YOU SOFT GINGER HAIR COLORED LINDSEY LOHAN FRECKLED FACE TWO HEADED...TAKE YA...HOME..."

Responded Griffin: "Wow, all caps, huh? Maybe throw in some lower case next time."

It's a pretty hilarious segment that also includes Magic Johnson responding to someone insulting his teeth, and Stephen Curry reacting to someone putting down his name. Someone even called Tony Parker a little French woman. Check it out in the video above.
