Well, we should have all seen this coming.
On Monday, several NBA teams decided to go for the obvious joke via social media by trolling the Phoenix Suns at the same time the actual sun was being blocked across the United States.
The Milwaukee Bucks' tweet hits especially close to home, as they famously won a coin flip in 1969 to receive the services of Lew Alcindor, who would eventually be known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
In honor of the sun being blocked today, here are our best blocks against the @Suns over the past few years! ????#SolarEclipse2017 pic.twitter.com/NcnldLq2Ho

See what they did there? Well, the Suns' social media team refused to take this abuse lying down.
