Jason Terry is trending because LeBron James dunked on him… in 2013

No idea why he decided to jump.

Every young athlete growing up wants to be immortalized for something. You want to grow old, become rich and famous and have your name trending on Twitter for some iconic highlight. You want people to remember the thing that you did forever.

Jason Terry probably thought that’s what was going on this morning when he saw he was trending on Twitter. Turns out that wasn’t it at all. Instead, Jason Terry was being dunked on on the internet for being dunked on a whole seven years ago by LeBron James.

You know which dunk I’m talking about. Terry is on the Celtics playing monkey in the middle with a bunch of Heat players before being absolutely eviscerated by James under the rim.

This dunk is just unnecessarily vicious. The stare down at the end brings it all home.

You see it coming the entire way. It’s like watching a horror movie when you know the killer is right behind that door but the main character opens the door anyway.

It’s like, bruh, don’t jump. Why’d you jump? You didn’t have to live that way, JET. You really didn’t.

Hopefully, Terry didn’t log on to Twitter today. The internet is giving him a hard time.

The worst part about it is that there are so many other reasons we should remember that game for. The Heat came back from down 17 points to win the game and break the Rockets 22-game winning streak record on their way to 27 wins in a row.

LeBron James also gave us the signature celebration that we know him best for in that game for the first time ever. People don’t remember this.

But NOPE. None of that matters. Why? Because Jason Terry chose to jump instead of getting out of the way.

Let this be a lesson to you, kids. Playing hard is good but sometimes playing hard gets you put on a poster and made fun of on the internet seven years later.
