DeAndre Jordan Michael Jordan

A hilarious emoji war broke out on Twitter involving the l . a . Clippers together with Dallas Mavericks as both groups are in the process of convincing free-agent center DeAndre Jordan to signal together with them.

A week ago, Jordan consented to leave the Clippers to become listed on the Mavericks for a four-year maximum contract well worth significantly more than $80 million. Frequently, regardless the clear implication of "agree" unlike "signal" in NBA no-cost company talk, it is all mainly stated and done at this stage.

Until *drum roll* ESPN's Marc Stein reported on Wednesday (hours ahead of the struggle) the Clippers were making one last pitch to keep him.

So then it moved from a study, on most epic circumstance of NBA superstars sub-tweeting each other when you look at the reputation for Twitter. But in the conclusion, there is only able to be one winner (and it's not the Clippers or Mavericks).

Let the games start...

Mavericks ahead, Chandler Parson, banged things down with the easiest tweet there ever before might be.

It quickly became a "who is able to emoji their option to DeAndre Jordan most effectively/stylishly/better than all of you" game.

Blake Griffin's in.

And then Paul Pierce arrived with his flip phone.

But it's all fun and games until an NBA Champion appears:

Or.. in addition to this, whenever a six-time NBA Champion appears.

Plus Scottie Pippen using the help.

Yeah, exactly what MJ stated...

Whether MJ himself tweeted that or perhaps the really amusing social media person behind his brand name did - doesn't matter. It's still a goat. A GOAT!
