Twitter users report accounts sharing the crying Lebron James meme

Twitter users have begun to report accounts that are sharing memes of Lebron James and his moving speech about Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant passed away in a tragic helicopter crash on January 26. While an official tribute for Kobe is scheduled on February 25, the Los Angeles Lakers decided to pay Bryant a tribute before their game with the Portland Trail Blazers last Friday.

Reporting accounts for sharing memes

The ceremony held before the Lakers game featured a video montage of Bryant as well as the national anthem and finally a moving speech by Lebron James. An image of Lebron later started to appear on Twitter and people tried to turn it into a meme.

After the memes came to the notice of several users they started to hit back at the memes and tried to stop people from posting them.
