"Meme of the year": Internet reacts hilariously as Druski loses the MVP award to Rome Flynn at the All-Star Celebrity Game

The highly awaited Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game took place in Oakland Arena. This year's roster included internet sensation Kai Cenat and funnyman Druski, who managed to steal the spotlight with their hilarious antics despite playing like they had just discovered basketball that morning.

Druski had his Oscar-worthy MVP moment all planned out - grinning ear to ear, lifting forward with the confidence of a guy who just hit a game-winner... only for reality to hit harder than a full-court press. As the anchor announced Rome Flynn instead of Druski, you could practically see the five stages of grief flash across Druski's face in real time.

His smile vanished and he stood there as his face conveyed his emotions. The disappointment was visible from afar.

When Rome Flynn won the MVP at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2025 Mike Druski's responses immediately became Internet gold. Standing behind the winner, he displayed pure disbelief, looking like a kid who just learned recess had been canceled.

The irony? Between the two of them, they barely scraped together four points during the entire game - making their disappointment even funnier. As soon as the video went viral, @_nitehub took their X account and commented:

"Meme of the year, right here."

And honestly? They weren’t wrong. Druski's reaction alone was so legendary it could be applied to any crisis in life - realizing your bank card declined after a good meal, finding out your crush only sees you as a friend or that sinking feeling when you remember there's a test you didn’t study for.

Forget the MVP trophy - Druski secured his place in the Meme Hall of Fame.

The internet was flooded with memes, reactions, and jokes. Screenshots, slow-motion edits, and dramatic zoom-ins flooded the timeline each one funnier than the other.

His face went from 'victory mode' to 'Windows error' in record time and the memes basically made themselves. If an award was given for the most memorable moment of the year, Druski would surely win it.

Let's get into the fans' reactions!
