The original photographer of the Crying Jordan meme thinks it's great

There's at least one person directly involved in the Crying Jordan meme who doesn't want it to die as soon as possible: Stephan Savoia, the AP photographer who snapped the picture of a tearful Jordan in the first place.

In a mini-documentary created by 2 Point Lead, Savoia says that he finds the whole thing pretty humorous. He wasn't even aware of the image's popularity until a Wall Street Journal reporter called him to talk about it.

"My kids started looking it up on their phones, they were aware of it and couldn't believe that I was the one that shot the picture," Savoia says. "I mean, that's pretty funny stuff."

As for Jordan himself, well, he remains slightly less enthusiastic about the whole thing.
