The moment capturing Stewart looking completely dejected followed the 76ers' All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey finishing Game 5 of the Knicks-Sixers first-round playoff series with 46 points, including a game-tying three-pointer, sending both teams into overtime.
Here is the viral image of Stewart with Maxey trotting past him after his victorious three-pointer shot.
And a meme was born.
Once he realized he had been memed, Stewart took to X (formerly Twitter) and poked fun at himself by conveying his overall exasperation with the game.
"Respect to Maxey…but damn…I’m clearly getting too old for this sh*t…" wrote Stewart.
