We hope the TedNado obliterates that obnoxious liberal idiot. Uhm, for charity.
Get ready for the showdown of the summer...

This was the first Cruz shirt I’ve seen. David Erdos has actually played basketball with Cruz before — his wife Sarah was a staffer on his presidential campaign, and last year they had a reunion basketball game. “He’s better than me, which is not saying much.” #KimmelvsCruz pic.twitter.com/4LO3i4ZkBZ

UPDATES:
Several airballs by Kimmel

Still 1-0 Cruz. Slow game. KImmel is 50. Cruz 47. It shows
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 16, 2018
Smack-talking from @jimmykimmel but no points yet. The crowd chants "Jimmy, Jimmy" but so far not helping. 15 is a long way off
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 16, 2018
There was no admission to the game so the crowd is getting its money's worth. #BlobfishBasketballClassic

Cruz scores Point 2. Crowd is shocked
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 16, 2018
Crowd sounds very pro-Kimmel.
Kimmel's on the board. Fans roar. Cruz follows with his 3rd. Now 3-1
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 16, 2018
C’mon Tednado!!!
A pretty lay-up by @tedcruz. Now 4-2
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 16, 2018
With score 4-2, there's a timeout on the court, Audience does the wave. A guy in a pink get-up dances.
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 16, 2018
BOOM!
For those just tuning in wondering why no pictures with the tweets, ABC busted me for taking some and said i was breaking some agreed-upon rule. Meanwhile, Kimmel scores. Now 5-3
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 16, 2018
No pictures =[
I've been asked politely by ABC not to tweet so much.
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 16, 2018
Dammit. Might be restricted from here on…
Just left the #KimmelvsCruz basketball game at halftime. My sister’s 7th grade B team games were more entertaining.
— Tyler Sumrall (@tyler_sumrall) June 16, 2018
6-5 Kimmel over Cruz at the half. Now going to 11. Bored spectators are leaving. #kimmelvscruz
— Shane Ford (@shaneford43) June 16, 2018
Who knows how accurate that is. I wouldn’t doubt it though – sounds like most the crowd is pro-Kimmel and if Cruz is winning they’re likely sore losers,
It's over. Cruz wins by 3
— John C. Moritz (@JohnnieMo) June 17, 2018
Ted Cruz has defeated Jimmy Kimmel in the #BlobFishClassic. 11-9
— Pepper (@PepperGii) June 17, 2018
Though ABC has yet to edit & broadcast the footage yet so yikes.
BOOM!! Cruz wins!!! I think. We’re not sure, so don’t get too cocky on social media…
UPDATE!!
The winner tonight? @generation1TX and @TexasChildrens

Hundreds of fans watched what can only be described as some really bad basketball Saturday at Texas Southern University as Kimmel faced Sen. Ted Cruz in the Blobfish Basketball Classic. After about 80 minutes, Cruz finally won by two points.
They were supposed to play to to 15, but after 40 minutes, Kimmel and Cruz agreed to make it a little easier.
