Even thought the San Antonio Spurs won Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, the only thing people can talk about is how LeBron James cramped up and had to leave the game with time still left in the fourth quarter.
All U Can Heat
It was an unexpected change in the game that actually helped the Spurs close out Miami with relative ease and it’s something that has some Heat fans crying foul over the “broken” air conditioning unit inside AT&T Center.
LeBron having to get carried off the court due to a leg cramp that was apparently a ’10 out of 10′ in terms of pain, has spurred San Antonio fans to mock the Heat star by making #LeBronning a thing.
How does one pull this off? See for yourself:

It’s not hard to have some trend like this started about you as we’ve seen them pop up all the time when someone famous does something. It has been a while though since a phenomenon like this has occurred on social media, so perhaps that’s the silver lining in all of this.
Either way, LeBron James will no doubt play in Game 2 and we may see him reverse the trend and redefine what #LeBroning means should he turn in the ferocious game we’re expecting him to.
