Warriors mock critics, doubters with hilarious Twitter banter
An absurd 52-5 record for the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors hasn't been enough to keep their legion of skeptics at bay.
Whether it's former Warriors player Stephen Jackson saying his 2006-07 team could defeat Golden State's 2015-16 roster, or Basketball Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson criticizing opposing coaches for not playing them properly, it seems like no matter how successful this year's Warriors are, there will always be someone questioning their legitimacy.

Some of the Warriors players decided to have a little bit of fun with the Jacksons and Robertsons of the world on social media Friday. This was especially true for Aussie center Andrew Bogut, who got the ball rolling with this uproarious tweet:
My under 14 team in Melbourne Australia would have beat these @warriors 109-99. Fat Jimmy would have locked down @StephenCurry30 !!!!

"The Chef" Stephen Curry is ready for whatever Fat Jimmy has in store on the defensive end:
Cmon man! Call fat jimmy up & tell him im looking for him https://t.co/tKKkjP16J2

As if Fat Jimmy wasn't a marked man already:
Tell Big Jimmy you and I have illegal screens for days to allow Steph to get his shot off! https://t.co/Q9lc0IMk3a
