LeBron James was accidentally hit in the face with a basketball while warming up for his Cleveland Cavaliers game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night.

It makes for some pretty good Internet.

Maybe you like LeBron; I'm a big LeBron fan, myself. Or maybe you're a LeBron hater; there are plenty of those out there, too. Either way, this is strangely hypnotizing.

Now, remember the human meme known as LeBron James Kid? He became famous on Vine a couple years ago for the drawling, hypnotic way he said the NBA star's name.

A Twitter user called Marcus D blessed us by layering that audio over Sunday's Vine. It's majestic.

This is all vaguely reminiscent of that time someone made a YouTube loop of LeBron rapping "Popped a molly, I'm sweatin' -- woo!" for five straight minutes.

The Internet is a strange and wonderful place.
