LeBron James’ Emphatic Missed Dunk Last Night Spawned Some Pretty Good Internet Jokes

Last night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James’ line was 34-6-5 on 56% shooting, while playing the entire second half with 4 fouls. Many talking heads, okay just Stephen A. Smith, will deem this an ‘off’ game for LBJ, proving just how high he has set his own bar.

In any event, the Cavs won and pulled within one game of punching a ticket to a Golden State rematch. This shouldn’t be surprising to anyone except me, an avid Celtics fan who believes that an Isaiah Thomas-less Celts team can advance (shut up). What may be a surprise to most was LeBron James missing his patented tomahawk dunk on a wide-open breakaway after a gorgeous pass from Kevin Love. The internet made jokes. Here are some ones that made me giggle.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
