President Obama can perhaps say that he’s the only one that got away with calling Michael Jordan “more than just an internet meme.” While receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, President Obama spoke about his meme status.
As soon as you see anything bad happen, somewhere out there, someone is making a quick “Crying Jordan” meme out of it. In case you’ve been under a rock and have no clue what that is, Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech has turned into a meme. During his speech, he was crying and that’s where it was born.

While at the White House, Michael Jordan was a guest as he was about to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. President Obama spoke about his legacy in the NBA and also touched upon his infamy in the meme world on the world. Michael Jordan’s face was priceless.
Who would’ve thought that President Obama would bring that up? Obama 1, MJ 0.
