Usually when celebrities read mean tweets, everyone gets a kick out of it because everyone knows who they are. When NBA refs read mean tweets, people get a kick out of it for an entirely different reason. These are some of the most hated people in sports and people love to take their shots at them.
The best ones in this particular video feature some of the more prominent refs like Tony Brothers, Dick Bavetta, and Joey Crawford. Fans love to crap on the refs, especially when their team loses so the responses to those moments are pretty great.
