If you haven’t seen Netflix’s latest hyped doco The Last Dance yet, get on it. The Michael Jordan / Chicago Bulls story is fascinating, and it’s been expertly told. It’s also, of course, being turned into memes.
Episodes 3 and 4 landed on Monday, and with them came a scene of Michael Jordan watching Isiah Thomas‘ interview, in which Thomas argued that his walk off during a game in which his team lost to the Bulls was just what players did at the time. Or something. I don’t know, I am STRUGGLING to follow the basketball technical drama. Just gimme Dennis Rodman and leave it at that, ok?
Anyway, you don’t need to have seen the scene to get why this screenshot is meme gold:

There’s also a soundbite from Ron Harper that’s getting turned into some comedic gold:

I also love this one, but I’d argue this is how my Mum gives ME directions – as in, complete chaos with absolutely no sense:
