After it was revealed that the Golden State Warriors are trading for Chris Paul from the Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers playmaker Tyrese Haliburton couldn't help but bring back one of the funniest memories he has about Paul and the Dubs.

Back in January 2018 during a Warriors game against the Houston Rockets–with whom CP3 played from 2017 to 2019–Kerr and Paul had a meme-worthy encounter that quickly went viral. After the Dubs head coach said something to the playmaker from the opposing bench, Paul pointed at him and laughed. However, what's hilarious is that after he turned his head, the veteran quickly scowled and lost his smile. It gave birth to the famous “Fake Laugh” meme that is still being brought up whenever Paul faces Kerr and his Warriors.

Now that Chris Paul is set to become part of the Warriors under Steve Kerr's tutelage, Tyrese Haliburton remembered the meme and told the fans to bring it out.

For what it's worth, the Pacers star didn't really need to make the request. After all, the said meme actually went viral right after the news of the trade surfaced. Plenty of fans trolled Paul and the Warriors for it, with many expressing their “excitement” on how CP3 and Kerr will work together.
