Best sports social media moments of the year

From the zany to the unbelievable, the heartfelt to the inspiring, these were some of the best social media moments of 2019.

Thanks to LeBron, it’s no longer just Tuesday

 

LeBron James is one of the most influential people on social media, with nearly 90 million followers on Twitter and Instagram alone. So, when The King starts talking about “Taco Tuesday,” you best believe that more than a few people will listen—and pull up to the e-dinner table for a few hard-shelled delights. The popularity of this social media-based movement became so massive that LeBron even considered and attempted getting the phrase trademarked. Unfortunately, Taco Tuesday has been around nearly as long as calendars—since the days of the depression, anyway—and LeBron’s request was denied.
