LeBron James took to Twitter after Duke's match against North Carolina saw Zion Williamson blowout his Nike Paul George 2.5 shoe. Unfortunately, it looks like Zion may have an injury, possibly an MCL sprain, Express UK reported. Of course, while NBA basketball lovers may feel for Zion, the memes popped up on Twitter after LeBron commented.
Hope young fella is ok! Literally blew thru his 👟. 🙏🏾

The tampering meme for Zion's Nikes
After LeBron chose Anthony Davis for the All-Star game, TNT's Ernie Johnson asked him, "You sure you want him to be your teammate?" LeBron replied, "I'm very sure of that." Giannis laughingly asked, "Isn't that tampering?" Now the Nike shoe blow out got some memes referring to that and Lakers' trade tampering rumors.

Expensive event and the star blew out
Those people who got into the venue for the game paid a lot of dough for the privilege. Zion went down, ESPN went crazy and some wallets felt poorer for it.

LaVar Ball's Big Baller brand
Of course, LaVar's Big Baller brand came into the story. Of course it would, as the whole world knows about that brand of basketball shoes.
