In the last few years, social media has led to the birth of many memes. NBA’s biggest superstars like Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, and Charles Barkley have often fallen prey to the usually harmless creativity. Moreover, Twitter has become a center of attraction across the globe ever since Billionaire Elon Musk took over the company. Now, a former NBA champion has requested the Twitter CEO to remove certain content from the platform before it turns him into an iconic meme.

After Elon Musk stepped into the social media business, he changed the dynamics of networking sites. He introduced price tags for the verified accounts and it eventually prompted plenty of parody accounts, causing confusion among the users. Moreover, Musk often engaged in Twitter interactions irrespective of fans and celebrities. Notably, that led the online community to brand him as Mr. Tweet. 

Former NBA Champion got roasted on Live TV

Former Cleveland Cavaliers star Richard Jefferson gave rise to a new meme on Live TV after the Wednesday night Playoffs games. Jefferson and his former teammate, Kendrick Perkins, engaged in a debate over a ‘complete NBA team’ on ESPN. When Perkins disagreed with Jefferson’s take and asked him to define ‘complete team’, the Cavaliers star stepped in and dug himself a grave. 

The 42-year-old replied, “Again, we’re splitting hairs here,” and Perkins was quick enough to respond, “You’re not splitting hairs ever,” referring to his bald head, and broke into laughter. Meanwhile, Jefferson looked stunned and expressionless for a few seconds.
