The Saigon SunsetGolden State Warriors are good at many things — like winning lots of basketball games and selling jerseys. Photoshoots, however, is not one of them.
It's the NBA's All-Star Weekend, which annually warrants a bizarre, pseudo-magazine spread to celebrate the NBA all-stars. Just as the internet chuckled at the Warriors' photos last April, the trusty ol' Twittersphere is picking on these guys once again.
SEE ALSO: MLB team has perfect Twitter response to Chris Christie's rantThe NBA takes player portraits every year during All-Star Weekend, and — to be fair — the Warriors aren't the only ones with outrageous photos (see: DeAndre Jordan's incredible cloak situation). But the Warriors are the NBA's best team, making them a perennial target. And after last year's corny photoshoot led to plenty of trolling, folks apparently couldn't resist this time around.

Kevin Durant drew some similar comparisons, along with a nod to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and being thatguy at the bar.

But Curry probably got it the worst, with Twitter roasting his "I'm just a plain ol' dad" look.

Finally, one genius compiled all four looks into an overarching meme.
