LeBron James has led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals for eight consecutive seasons, but he can’t always carry the team on his back. Especially, like he has been this year.

King James needs some extra help if he wants to beat the Golden State Warriors and stand a chance against Stephen Curry’s 3-pointers.

After game 1 of the NBA Finals, the internet wasted no time in making jokes about the look of LeBron James’ face as he watched his teammate J.R. Smith dribble the ball to the three-point line before trying to pass it to George Hill.

Plenty of people took the opportunity to get in on the action, including the Twitter account ran by canine star, Buddy, of the 1997 movie Air Bud. 

If Cleveland can’t get a hint that Buddy is just trying to help, perhaps they’ll listen to the internet and take advice from Air Bud’s use of memes.

Thanks again J.R. Smith for blessing the internet with the newest LeBron James meme.
