The origin story of the 'LeBron Smiling' meme, also known as the 'Can't believe this is my life' meme, is quite wild. Who would have thought that LeBron, an iconic NBA player, would post an Instagram story, standing in a pool, and that story would spark a wave of memes online?
Well, we all have moments in our lives when we couldn't believe the circumstance we accidentally found ourselves in. When the popular NBA icon found his life in such a 'can't-believe' situation, fans and netizens went crazy.
The genesis story goes like this. LeBron shot some comments about President Donald Trump in an ESPN podcast, which enticed the fury of Laura Ingraham of Fox News. She calls his take 'ungrammatical' and 'barely intelligible' and replies with, 'Someone once said, shut up and dribble.'.
Following the incident when LeBron posted, "Smiling through it all, Can't believe this is my life," fans quickly noticed the image as a meme template. Which then grew more and more popular on the social media platforms.
The meme appears to be extremely relatable to many as we realize that iconic lives that we see on TV are not much different from ours. Like we suffer and smile through it all, so does every human on earth.
Later LeBron's son Bryce James also decided to make the most of the moment and recreated the meme.
