Creator of iconic Draymond backpack meme isn't even a Warriors fan

There are but three certainties in life: death, taxes and your Twitter timeline being flooded with the Draymond backpack meme every time Warriors big man Draymond Green hits a 3-pointer in a playoff game.

You know the meme: a simple wire photo of a jump-shooting Draymond Green with a poorly cut-out child's backpack Photoshopped onto his shoulders. In the image macro era it might've included the text, "Everybody gangsta until Draymond starts hitting threes."

The meme has been around since at least 2018, when USA Today traced the origin back to a tweet from an NBA fan that read, "Draymond shoots like he’s got a backpack on with a school project in it" — a post that didn't circulate widely.
