After [Meryl Streep](https://time.com/5603746/big-little-lies-meryl-streep-scream/ "undefined") kicked this week’s meme cycle off with a gut-wrenching howl on [_Big Little Lies_](https://time.com/5550014/big-little-lies-season-2-details/ "undefined"), [Toronto Raptors](https://time.com/5607127/nba-finals-canada-toronto-raptors/ "undefined") assistant coach Jamaal Magloire made his own mark on the viral internet landscape by shouting into a paper cup during Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals. In order to be heard over the din of the crowd in Oracle Arena on Thursday, Magloire cut out the bottom of a paper Gatorade cup so he could yell at his players through it. Of course, as soon as fans caught sight of his innovative coaching technique, it was instantly turned into a meme. As a photo of Magloire holding up his cup-turned-megaphone spread across Twitter, people began adding hilarious captions imagining what the Toronto coach may have been screaming about. The topics ranged from NBA-related shade — “Seth \[Curry\] shot a higher percentage of threes than Steph \[Curry\] did this season!” — to passionate food opinions — “BONELESS CHICKEN WINGS AREN’T CHICKEN WINGS.” > [](https://twitter.com/cjzero/status/1139348189281230848) > [](https://twitter.com/WorldofIsaac/status/1139348352347324417) See some of the best memes below. > [](https://twitter.com/xmasape/status/1139352397682229249) > [](https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/1139349738627710977) > [](https://twitter.com/Reflog%5F18/status/1139347370422996993) > [](https://twitter.com/AnthonyIrwinLA/status/1139350816056152064) > [](https://twitter.com/byDavidGardner/status/1139348284395479040) > [](https://twitter.com/micahpeters%5F/status/1139351288825520128) > [](https://twitter.com/russbengtson/status/1139349896295854081) > [](https://twitter.com/%5Ftonyhuynh/status/1139351966239395842) > [](https://twitter.com/harrylylesjr/status/1139349773193027586) > [](https://twitter.com/pug/status/1139356948975849472) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5607285/jamaal-magloire-paper-cup-meme/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5607285/jamaal-magloire-paper-cup-meme/"},"headline":"Meryl Streep Isn’t the Only One to Scream Herself Into Meme Status and This Guy Has a Gatorade Cup","datePublished":"2019-06-14T14:56:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:35.186Z","description":"Toronto Raptors assistant coach Jamaal Magloire has hopped on the scream meme train","url":"https://time.com/5607285/jamaal-magloire-paper-cup-meme/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Basketball","viral","NBA","memes","onetime","Sports"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdd17703ffb0575c4/69894b39b21a9c1a12500bef/raptors-coach-jamaal-magloire.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdd17703ffb0575c4/69894b39b21a9c1a12500bef/raptors-coach-jamaal-magloire.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"raptors-coach-jamaal-magloire","caption":"Toronto Raptors assistant coach Jamaal Magloire uses a paper cup as a megaphone to shout instructions to the defense at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, March 24, 2019.","creditText":"Steve Russell—Toronto Star/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5607285/jamaal-magloire-paper-cup-meme/","name":"Meryl Streep Isn’t the Only One to Scream Herself Into Meme Status and This Guy Has a Gatorade Cup"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Toronto Raptors assistant coach Jamaal Magloire has hopped on the scream meme train","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5607285/jamaal-magloire-paper-cup-meme/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5607285/jamaal-magloire-paper-cup-meme/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
