The Michael Jordan crying face has been around for ages as a meme. It is one of those pictures that amazingly never seize to be funny. To trace back the origin we have to go back to 2009 when MJ gave his Hall of Fame speech. Understandably, Mike was very moved by the occasion …
Some years past without anyone paying too much attention to the speech, until one day in 2012 the first meme with the crying face appeared on the internet. It’s fairly safe to say that buying the Bobcasts wasn’t really the best move MJ ever made.
But that was not the end. Instead countless images appeared on the net. Whenever anyone famous faces misfortune you can count on somebody working the photoshop magic. Not surprisingly, Cam Newton was recently at the end of the joke, for example. The MJ crying face is here to stay. So for his birthday which happens to be today we give you some of the best of the best out of the millions posted across tumblr, Twitter, Instagram and so on. Happy birthday, G.O.A.T.! We salute.
Just in case you’re not that good with photoshop the Huffington Post has got you covered with the cut-out Michael Jordan crying face mask.
