The NBA is big in China, and fans have taken to giving players complex and ridiculous nicknames over the years. Historian Nick Kapur explained this on twitter.

These are not the Jordan's you're looking for. 

The last thing that Lebron James was ready for when he playfully started recording some of him and teammates' ride on the NY subway after a shootaround, was for a fellow passenger to flip out on him for recording a selfie video together. Some people on Twitter are suggesting that the guy was kidding, but we're kind of thinking the dude was actually pissed. You'll notice he moves seats by the end of the video, after complaining to Lebron. 

Naturally, the trolls and Lebron James fans on Twitter, seized the moment and roasted the guy; going so far as to float a conspiracy theory that he was so pissed, cause he was being unfaithful to his SO. 

JaVale McGee, center for the Golden State Warriors is the regular target of Shaq when it comes to getting roasted, toasted, and stomped on for all the public eye to see (thank goodness for us). You could know next to nothing/not care at all about NBA basketball, and you'll still get a kick out of the big man igniting the rage of Mr. JaVale McGee in the following Twitter exchange. Let's just hope JaVale learnt a thing or two about not going toe-to-toe with the comedically-inclined pair of 22's. Yeah, still processing how big Shaq's feet are over here.

I'm overcome with burning questions and emotions right now: is this actually Phil Jackson, and if it is why in the hell is he riding the NYC bus looking like he's one untied oversized shoelace away from getting off at the next stop to let the driver run him over? Seriously Phil, talk to us? What's up bro? Well, regardless of if this is Phil Jackson and he has one of those eye-catching resting bitch face's, or if he's deeply saddened; the Internet was there to capitalize on the momentous photograph with a rollercoaster of hilarious reactions.
