A Michael Jordan fan didn’t even bother getting a tattoo of his idol, instead, he chose to get one of the crying LeBron meme on the back of his leg.

Normally, when you idolize someone and want to get a tattoo, you might think of getting one of them. Kalen Gilleese is a die-hard Michael Jordan from Salt Lake City — the irony in that already. He was absolutely fed up with everyone making the comparisons between Jordan and LeBron. That makes sense, ever since James came down from 3-1 against the Warriors, the Jordan-LeBron GOAT talk has been going on in every barbershop across the United States.

So how does Gilleese show his support for Jordan? Get a tattoo of the “Ghost from Chicago” right? Nah, the Jordan superfan decides to get LeBron’s face inked on the back of his leg. Wait, what?

If you saw the tattoo, then you’d understand what I’m talking about. In many road arenas, people hold up random signs behind the basket to try and distract LeBron. During the playoff series between Chicago and Cleveland — when the Cavs won 4-2 — many fans held up the crying LeBron meme.

So Gilleese claims he fell in love with the meme and decided that it would best describe the love he has for Jordan and hate for LeBron. So on the back of his leg, forever exists the face of a crying LeBron.

Now that’s just savage. The Jordan-LeBron GOAT talks look dead at the moment, given LeBron lost against Golden State and fell to 3-5 in the NBA Finals. Chicago fans from the 1990s will never give into anyone being the greatest but Jordan, while LeBron fans are fighting for their guy.

Gilleese decides to take it one step further, by making his thoughts permanent on his skin. That’s pretty gutsy, but it looks like the super fan isn’t changing his mind anytime soon.
