I don’t speak Chinese so it’s a little bit confusing to see this pop up on my feed in GrayJay. Was LeBron James some kind of idol in China?
Is this some rage bait? Lol
Why would it be rage bait? Those videos look like commercials, but I don’t know what they’d be advertising.
Idk saying it’s a LeBron ad while the vids show Kobe, or I ended up on the wrong video?lol
Sorry, I don’t watch basketball. All I knew was that he was famous basketball player and LeBron was the first name that came to mind. Now I have to look up who LeBron is.
6-7.
I don’t know about the origins of this meme but I know basketball and the NBA are insanely popular in China.
6-7?
“It has no fixed meaning”.
Great, I can ignore it then.
Seems like an example of childlore, which describes a specific species of meme that only propagates among children.
didn’t even know childlore had a name or academic interest associated with it. until last year. When I was a kid I always wondered who came up with things like JIngle bells batman smells or those paper fortune teller thingies or the candyman/Bloody Mary or the game Doorknob and so on. I never saw adults doing or saying those things, so I figured some kid somewhere had to have made them up at some point and it just spread from there.
