In today’s internet-savvy culture, memes have all but taken over our screens. The NBA is no exception, and there’s really nothing top stars can do from being turned into a meme nowadays.
Even Michael Jordan, for as good as he was, became a meme after delivering his emotional Hall-of-Fame induction speech in 2009.

Needless to say, the “Crying Jordan” meme was huge in the mid-2010s and it was rare that any Twitter used went a week without seeing it. Today, while that meme has become a bit outdated, Jordan recently supplied us with more fuel on the most recent episodes of “The Last Dance.”
Michael Jordan was asked to react to comments made by Isaiah Thomas and his face upon seeing the quote will likely be used in memes for years to come.

In fact, the meme-ing has already begun.

We’re not even half-way done with these documentaries yet, but it seems that we’ve already got enough content to keep us busy for days.
