LeBron James and JR Smith are back together after the former Cleveland Cavaliers guard joined the Los Angeles Lakers as the replacement for Avery Bradley.
And, as I wrote this week, it’s the reunion we never expected but it’s the best for so many reasons — it’s good from a basketball perspective, it’s amazing that James forgave him for the 2018 Game 1 of the Finals gaffe and there are endless memes.
Speaking of those last two! People are taking the old photo of James yelling at Smith from that wild moment and putting it in a new light. Here are few examples:
