Michael Jordan is not only one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball, he’s also a first ballot Meme Hall of Famer, for his many online works, most notably Crying Jordan … perhaps the greatest sports meme of all time.
“The Last Dance,” ESPN’s new, fantastic documentary that looks at the final run of the great Jordan-era Bulls team, is giving us plenty of new Jordan material to work with, including a new reaction shot that’s proving to be a fantastic new, Jordan meme.
The screengrab shows Jordan looking bemusedly at a screen in which producers played video of Isaiah Thomas defending the late 80s Pistons. Jordan isn’t buying it, and makes a perfect face, and internet users are having a blast filling it in with whatever they want.
It’s not Crying Jordan, but nothing is Crying Jordan. This meme could have legs, however:

What’s also great: The director of the show, Jason Hehir, seemed to understand how meme-able the moment was before the show even aired. This was a self-called meme. Babe Ruthian.
