This iconic clip originates from the 2020 ESPN/Netflix documentary series 'The Last Dance,' which chronicles the career of Michael Jordan and the 1997–98 Chicago Bulls. In the scene, Michael Jordan is handed a tablet showing footage of former Seattle SuperSonics star Gary Payton claiming his defense 'tired out' Jordan during the 1996 NBA Finals. Jordan reacts with an immediate, high-pitched scoff and a deep, mocking laugh that has since become the gold standard for dismissive reactions. This meme is used to represent feelings of disbelief, arrogance, and the rejection of a claim that is perceived as delusional or objectively false. It perfectly captures the 'Are you serious?' energy when someone makes an absurd statement. Example captions include: 'When the company says we are like a family,' 'Me listening to my ex explain why they cheated,' and 'When your friend says they can beat you in a 1v1.'
