SHEER PATHOS
·Updated:
·

​Poor LeBron James. In the final minutes of the his career-best NBA Finals game, in which he scored a mind-blowing 51 points, his teammate JR Smith blew a last-minute chance to break a tie, running out the clock after nabbing an offensive rebound. (The Golden State Warriors won the game by 10 points in overtime.) LeBron's incredulous reaction to Smith's blunder — Smith appeared to have believed that the Cavs were ahead — was so full of pathos that it quickly became a meme.

The moment reminded Twitter users of movies…

 

 

… TV shows…

 

… and, uh, other sports.

 

Then there were meta memes…

 
 

And whatever this is.

 

May this meme serve as a consolation prize to devastated Cavs fans. Here's hoping Game 2 won't provide any more Devastated LeBron meme fodder.
