Perfect LeBron James and Mario Hezonja photo instantly became a meme

Mario Hezonja continues to be the Troll King of the NBA.

The New York Knicks forward — who dunked on Giannis Antetokounmpo last December and stepped over him — blocked LeBron James’ game-winner attempt on Sunday in a win over the Lakers.

Although the photo you’re about to see, which quickly became a meme shared all over social media, came after a foul he committed on James earlier in the contest, it’s kind of a perfect summary of what Hezonja and his teammates did to James and the hapless Lakers.

Here it is, snapped by the Associated Press’s Seth Wenig, and it is glorious:
