“I saw the photo when they tweeted it and immediately noticed that McConaughey was doing a hardcore power pose. So I save the picture, zoomed in on him, took a screenshot, posted it with the caption and it just went viral overnight!” Hamilton told Chron.com. “I know that this happened during the men’s practice yesterday, but I wish I knew what was happening. The caption is as genuine as it gets.”

Finding McConaughey’s pose hilarious, other users later participated in a Twitter meme-off, sharing their own captions for the picture:
