Thursday's duel between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks was one of the most anticipated matchups this season. The result wasn't so much in favor of Giannis Antetokounmpo's fans as LeBron James put on his best performance. The Laker win and James' season-high in points wasn't enough. They made sure that they got their point across by creating the most hilarious memes.
A fan gave an overview of the LeBron James-Giannis match-up, particularly when the Greek Freak crowned himself.
The fan seemed to hint that Antetokounmpo was wrong in declaring himself king especially since LeBron James has been nothing but dominant against him.

NBA Memes pointed out Antetokounmpo's mediocre free-throw shooting performance in relation to LeBron James'. Thursday's game wasn't too revealing as James shot 2-of-2 while Giannis shot 2-of-4.
Season-wise, LeBron James is shooting 71.9 percent from the free-throw line as opposed to Antetokounmpo's 58.6 percent clip.

Another meme referenced a scene from the 2018 film Black Panther, where Killmonger was about to beat T'Challa for the crown. The meme isn't that far from reality since when Giannis was crowned MVP for the second consecutive time, LeBron James wasn't too happy with it. On Thursday, James proved to everyone that he's still several steps ahead of the Greek Freak.

To break the LeBron James-Giannis monotony, a meme featured Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who shot 7-of-10 from deep on Thursday. He dropped 23 points and fans had to look twice if it was really KCP or Ray Allen donning the No. 1 Lakers jersey.

LeBron clearly isn't the only Laker who is No. 1… but the Lakers are certainly No. 1 in the NBA because their king continues to reign over Giannis, the Bucks, and everyone else in the Association.
