Paul Allen has accomplished more in his life than most science-fiction characters. He helped found Microsoft, made billions and billions of dollars, started several huge and generous charities and bought three sports teams. And on Monday night, he was reduced to a stunned spectator as Warriors guard Steph Curry destroyed his Portland TrailBlazers in overtime of Game 4 of their playoff series.

Now Allen was certainly not the only person in awe of Curry’s performance, but he was the only one whose shock and admiration immediately became a meme.

Now, Stunned Paul Allen will obviously never ascend to the untouchable ranks of Crying Jordan, but maybe he’ll have more staying power than Yelling Stanford Fan, for example.
But you know, regardless of how many people share his dopey face on Twitter, Paul Allen will probably be OK.
