This year’s NBA Playoffs have already been one for the books, but let the record show that this may be the pettiest series so far, thanks to some good old-fashioned trolling surrounding the competition between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.
While some might point to LeBron hand-delivering Draymond Green’s suspension — or the social media responses from the Warriors camp that followed — the true peak petty moment comes courtesy of whoever purchased the domain name for CryingJordan.com (here‘s a rundown on what that meme means) and then used it to redirect to the Cleveland Cavaliers website.
Have we reached the ultimate apex of sports Internet? To that I say: Is Kevin Love the red-headed stepchild of the Cavaliers? Is Steph Curry a horrible shoe designer?
But truly, what a time to be alive.
