Channing Frye Edited His Own Wikipedia Page And Created ‘Frye Island’ After Beating The Warriors

In their first meeting since the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Warriors blew another big lead in a 109-108 loss to the Cavs. The Christmas Day game will likely be remembered just as much for Richard Jefferson’s dunk-wink over Kevin Durant as it will be for Kyrie Irving’s game-winner in the final seconds.

Jefferson’s dunk on Durant and later Klay Thompson were pure murder. Just ask Wikipedia.

You see, Jefferson was not charged with first-degree murder for his dunks. The joke here is someone went into Wikipedia and added that, then took a screen shot to make it seem as though the dunks were so vicious that criminal charges were filed. You may not know this, but anyone can go into a Wikipedia page and edit it. It’s the digital version of hearing Lindsay Lohan jokes in 2013.

And a pro-tip: If the person who tweets the jokey Wikipedia screen shot also says something like WHO DID THIS FAM and no one else has seen it or mentioned before that tweet, that’s the person who did it.

In what was almost definitely a response to that Wikipedia joke, Channing Frye did a Wikipedia joke when he edited his own page on the way home from the game.

Frye Island is located off the coast of Maine and I guess whenever Frye has the ball. I had never heard of either before today. There are at least five grammatical or structural problems with that one sentence, so hopefully someone builds some schools on Frye Island.
