Sabrina Ionescu has officially arrived.

Ionescu on Sunday won her first WNBA championship. She also got the tough meme treatment over her brutal closing game.

Ionescu shot a horrendous 1/19 and scored just 5 points in her New York Liberty’s 67-62 overtime win over the Minnesota Lynx in Game 5 of their Finals series. That came after she shot 5/15 in a Game 4 loss.

Fans on the internet did what they do best, which is mock someone for struggling in a big game. They gave Ionescu the meme treatment over her Game 5 performance.

Ionescu also got some Tyrese Haliburton comparison jokes, which were references to the NBA All-Star winning a gold medal at the Olympics despite hardly doing anything.
