Smith went back to his own Twitter account and used one of the original NBA Twitter memes to poke fun at the show.
“Netflix servers right now,” he tweeted himself.
The original tweet comes from May 2015 when the sports pundit wrote: “Look y’all: IMG_4346.jpeg.” The tweet continues to make the rounds on the internet from time to time, proving that the internet is the only thing that can remain undefeated.

In May 2022, Smith addressed the tweet.
“I don’t even remember who the hell I was talking about here,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Netflix faced a toast on Twitter. Brands like Blockbuster and Redbox even went after the streaming giant.
