Twitter user: UncleHemp had a few solid ones and even threw Simba in, which calls to mind a much more serious meme.

David West’s was our favorite among the NBA crowd:
Steph showed U what Bron said a few days ago…Aint No friends in this Game…

And Draymond Green, who had Blake-itis and sat out the game, paralleled our own headline:
Soooooo @StephenCurry30 MVP or nah???
— Draymond Green (@Money23Green) April 1, 2015
What was your favorite?
