At a certain point, it would be cool if LeBron James let someone else do something cool. Like, for instance, I can do a wheelie on my GT Performer, and no one is making a cool list for me.
But until then, just watch in awe as LeBron James makes an amazing free and people made a bunch of hilarious reactions to it.

It takes a serious set of stones to openly mock LeBron James for being a crybaby when you're sitting four feet away from the demi-god of a man. An epic moment of awkwardness in every sense of the word.

You would've thought that with the air conditioning malfunctioning in the AT&T Center last night that the Miami Heat would've had an advantage. Nope. LeBron's leg muscles saw to that, cramping up something fierce during Game 1. This isn't the first time LeBron has had to leave a game because of cramps, prompting the Twitterverse to run wild.

James and Gatorade were unable to negotiate a sponsorship early in the Miami Heat player's career, leading him to sign with their competitor Powerade. That makes the trolling all the sweeter! Meanwhile, the rest of the internet went in on James and his cramp:
