The 'I Got One More In Me' meme features NBA legend Vince Carter during a 2022 interview discussing his retirement and incredibly long career. While the phrase originally captured his genuine competitive spirit and longevity in professional basketball, it quickly transformed into a viral reaction image used to illustrate moments of hilarious or desperate perseverance. It is most commonly applied to scenarios where someone is clearly exhausted, burnt out, or past their prime—such as a student finishing a final sentence of an essay or someone ordering a final drink at closing time—yet they dig deep for one last, often unnecessary, effort.
