A who's-who of NBA talent including Rockets superstar James Harden, 76ers rookie Joel Embiid, and Hall of Fame icon Shaquille O'Neal made appearances on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" for another edition of Kimmel's popular "Mean Tweets" segment.

Malone wasn't having any of it, though. The Utah Jazz legend took one look at a tweet about him before exclaiming "No. F--- Twitter. Karl Malone ain't doing this s---," before walking off the set.

It's not the first time the NBA's best and brightest have been called on to deliver a little self-deprecation. Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, and others took part in a hoop-centric edition of the popular late-night segment last June.
