Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports

Utah Jazz sharpshooter Joe Ingles had a funny Twitter exchange with Blake Griffin on Wednesday night.

Ingles was impressed by how well his purple jersey had been selling and commented about that on Twitter. Griffin responded with a joke about using the jerseys to keep his fires going for warmth in Michigan. Ingles hit Griffin back with a burn about Griffin’s Clippers career ending.

Judges call this fight in favor of Ingles, the new Twitterweight champion.

Not only is the 30-year-old showing off his Twitter chops, but Ingles also has taken a big step forward in his NBA career. He jumped to 11.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game last season, while making 44 percent of his threes.
