It doesn’t take much for NBA fans to turn an ordinary matchup into a meme war, and the upcoming faceoff between Victor Wembanyama and DeAndre Ayton has become the latest target.

After @LakeShowYo tweeted, “Wemby vs Ayton tomorrow,” one fan responded with an explosive analogy: “Hiroshima vs Iranian Missile,” wrote @PearnivoreMMA.
Another added some flavor of their own — “Ayton’s about to get baptized in the paint,” said @1000xSolid.
The online hype has been building fast, especially as both players have shown flashes of dominance. Wembanyama continues to amaze with his absurd wingspan and shot-blocking instincts, while Ayton’s physicality and mid-range touch have made him a steady interior threat. But when NBA fans get involved, it’s never just about basketball — it’s about the spectacle.
Social media threads are already filled with jokes, memes, and predictions about which big man will come out on top. Some believe this game could be Wembanyama’s “arrival moment,” while others think Ayton’s veteran presence will keep the rookie grounded.
For the Spurs, this matchup could signal whether Wemby can truly anchor the team against experienced bigs. For the Lakers, it’s about maintaining momentum and testing defensive schemes against a generational talent.
In the end, the comparisons might be over the top, but that’s how NBA fans operate. Every game is a movie premiere, and every player a headline waiting to happen. Whether it’s “Hiroshima vs Iranian Missile” or “rookie vs veteran,” the fans have already won the internet before the first tip-off.
NBA Fans Predict Lakers Sweep As Upcoming Schedule Sparks Wild Confidence
NBA fans never lack confidence — especially when it comes to the Lakers. After the team’s recent form, social media is already calling a perfect streak.
“Lakers next 5 games: Spurs, Hawks, Hornets, Thunder, Pelicans. 5-0 wow,” posted @HoodiiBron. Another user, @BlessedOrri, doubled down, simply saying, “5-0 calling it.”

Of course, one fan had to inject some chaos into the optimism.
“Going from Ayton 29/10 to getting fucced by Wemby,” joked @cookedbylbj, capturing the unpredictability that keeps NBA fans glued to every matchup.
The Lakers have been riding a wave of confidence lately, with stars stepping up on both ends of the floor. Still, every stretch of games brings questions about consistency and whether the team can sustain their rhythm. Fans seem convinced, though — especially with upcoming opponents struggling for form.
For NBA fans, this level of faith borders on superstition. Every hot streak feels like a championship run in the making, and every loss feels like the apocalypse. But that’s what makes the fandom so electric: no middle ground, only extremes.
Whether or not the Lakers actually go 5-0, the energy from NBA fans proves one thing — belief in the purple and gold remains one of the most entertaining storylines in the league.
