LeBron James’ Free Agency Spurs Internet Meme Of The Century

Am I jumping the gun a bit here? Probably. But everyone’s already jumped the gun on anointing King James as the best player ever, so I’ve responded in kind. HEY-O!

↵Anyway, we have 48 days until July 1, when LeBron James can officially start negotiating with other teams. Pretty much half the league (slight exaggeration) has cap room, so the list of suitors is endless. And we all know what that means. Fanbases on the Interwebs have 48 days to come up with different ways to mock the speculation that’ll ensue.

↵That process has already begun. Check out this graphic on SB Nation’s Kings blog Sactown Royalty.

↵Hey wait a minute ... that kind of looks like this. Brilliant!

↵Oh, and not to be outdone, Ian O’Connor of ESPN New York jokes that LeBron “looks and sounds halfway to New York.” Good one, Ian! Oh wait, you were being serious? Oh, nevermind then.
