The staff photographer of the New York Times, Stephen Olver, probably could never gauge to what uses a simple photograph he had taken depicting a person crying would be put. But what if the person in the photo was the all-time basketball great Michael Jordan?

The photo taken in 2009 showed Michael Jordan in tears when the basketball great was getting inducted into the Hall of Fame. Boxden.com first used a photoshopped version in 2014.
Since Crying Jordan’s popularity has never slipped down, now a globally recognized meme, its variations are equally in good demand.
Take, for instance, the latest incident where, for a change, the sidekicks came out of the sub-plots, forcing the main protagonist to take the sidewalk.

The Texas weigh-in: Give one, take one
The weigh-in at Texas took a nasty turn when MMA fighter Dillon Danis swiftly punched KSI’s face and left with his camp followers. But, even as the situation was returning to normal, it was time for Anthony Taylor to show up.
Catching up with Dillon at the entrance, Taylor kept challenging and haranguing El Jefe. Gradually, words paved the way for pushing and jostling. As if a God-given moment for the paparazzi, the entire ballyhoo ended with Danis receiving the neat as pin punch on the face.
The ‘give one and take one’ event has taken the net by storm. Comments and trolls are stretching Twitter to its seams.
At an opportune moment, just as a superhero marks his entry, a Crying Jordan explains that Taylor barged in as he took Dillon’s mischief personally.
Now promoted to the protagonist’s stature, Pretty Boy couldn’t help but laugh at the joke.

Fair fucking play bro, you’ve earned my respect for that one 👏🏽

A thoughtful review of the incident.
So Danis punched KSI or spilled a Starbucks drink all over his face and threw his hat. But that’s nice for you to stick up for KSI because that wasn’t needed but it’s good promotion for the fight and event lol 😂

Wait This Would actually be A Good Fight Anthony Taylor Vs Dillon Danis. #TEAMPRETTYBOY

Taylor and Danis’ walk to fame
Twenty-nine years old Dillon, who hasn’t seen the inside of a ring since 2019, and Anthony Taylor, whose own boxing record has been non existent so far, were barely recognizable till recently but for playing second fiddle to leading figures of combat sports.

So, could a worry for the future be the reason for their desperate actions and attempts to leave the nest? As the saying goes, ‘Never underestimate desperate people. You never know how far they will go to get what they want.’ Where does that leave Danis and Taylor? Do let us know.
