The Golden 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.

The 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.

Here are the un-memed photos of Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Steph Curry and Draymond Green that sent the internet a-Photoshoppin'.

And now, this year's brilliant memes, courtesy of the internet. Klay Thompson's photo quickly fell victim to some free-catalog-style ribbing.

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

Draymond Green and Steph Curry both were given the ITT Tech treatment.

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.

The All-Star game tips off at 5 p.m. on Sunday. The Warriors' photoshoot styles are coming soon to a free newspaper insert near you.
