The 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend is upon us, and where better to star than with media photos? That’s probably what Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson were thinking before they stepped out the door this morning.
Oh, how things can change ever so quickly.
After the Warriors released photos of their All-Stars standing in what appears to be a stock photography version of an artist’s loft, the Internet had a field day.
First, some context. Here are the photos in question:

Okay, pretty normal. Which in and of itself is weird considering these are NBA players, some of whom dress like they’re going to fight in a futuristic space zombie movie on a daily basis.
Let’s see what Twitter did with it, shall we?

These photo shoots need to keep happening, if only for the culture.
At least the Toronto Raptors did it right:
