Some folks may remember that time when late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel accepted a challenge from Texas Senator Ted Cruz to a one-on-one basketball match for charity. For those who don't, here's a quick refresher on just how well that worked out for Kimmel:

Well, Senator Cruz certainly hasn't forgotten, as evidenced by this absolutely crushing response to Kimmel's post-election opening monologue:
Jimmy hasn’t cried this hard since I kicked his ass in basketball. https://t.co/xtOlApHiEd

Well played, Senator, in more ways than one.
BWAHAHAHAHA

That was our first reaction as well.
Lake Liberal Tears is not full yet but we are getting close.

We're definitely getting close. and at this rate, it might wind up overflowing.
You know, I don’t think I realized just how funny you are, till I saw you Monday at your rally in Selma, TX.

I’ve always seen you as such a serious man. Thank you for showing your lighter side! I really enjoyed it!
Cruz is indeed a very serious man when it comes to commonsense policies, but he definitely has a funny side and we love it when that side comes out.
Speaking of Jimmy and basketball…..

Why exactly hasn’t he been cancelled by Hollywood yet? pic.twitter.com/uqo8DNgY68
We all know the answer to that one. It's (D)ifferent when they do it.
Congrats on the win Ted!
