It doesn’t take much to become a meme these days, but Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse gave the internet a real gift during the NBA playoffs. A truly universal reaction.
During Game 4 against the Orlando Magic on Easter Sunday, a three-second violation call on Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet caused Nurse to appear frozen in shock, his mouth agape.

The Game of Thrones crossover energy was there, too.

Nick Nurse was clearly reacting to Arya and Gendry’s scene last night and not anything basketball related #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/NMZR678M4k
