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.
