DeAndre Jordan: The Stankface that Launched a Thousand Emojis

The fight over DeAndre Jordan today led to a deluge of emojis. We recap.

L.A. Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, best known for his immaculate stankface, got his current and potential teammates feeling all…emojinal with his abrupt about-face.

The Race for DeAndre sent off a frantic couple of hours where everyone in the NBA and their mother began sending out one-line emoji references to what DeAndre's should do with his free agency. Clippers or Mavericks? In the heartless Game of Thrones-like amputation of one player from one team, it's nice to see some public displays of camaraderie in the NBA.

On Wednesday afternoon, both teams were on their way to meet with Jordan when Chandler Parsons of the Mavericks started the emoji beef. He's thinking LAX—>DFW.

J.J. Redick made the commute easy on DeAndre.

Blake Griffin threw in the whole package deal.

Chris Paul tried to retroactively invite him to his, Dwyane Wade, and Lebron's banana boat party.

Paul Pierce used a photo of an emoji. Truth.

The Warriors chimed in, letting you know their hard-bought lineup was golden.

The Cavs went with Kermit sipping tea, which might come back to bite them in the ass since LeBron could use the same tweet regarding Cleveland's own free agency.

And of course, old people tried to have fun, too.
