The #CryingJordan meme is based on a picture of former basketball star Michael Jordan crying. He became emotional when he joined the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009. People have been posting the picture on social media whenever their favorite sports team loses or in connection with any other disappointing event. On Tuesday, the ABC television show Good Morning America asked its followers on Twitter about a possible new #CryingLeBron meme. The tweet made note of other famous memes. The Tweet included the photo of Michael Jordan crying and a picture of Kermit the Frog drinking tea. Kermit the Frog is part of the popular Internet meme known as “None of My Business.” People use the Kermit meme to make jokes about “questionable behaviors in everyday social situations,” according to the website KnowYourMeme.com. Kermit is one of the Muppets, a group of characters created by puppeteer Jim Henson.
