Both did so with a wry smile on their face – which left basketball fans adamant they knew exactly what they were doing.

Dick and Black held the names on their jerseys up for photographers to capture.

And the clip quickly went viral on social media with fans rushing to comment.

“They understood the assignment,” one said.

While another laughed, “Black and Dick legends for eternity.”

A third posted, “They really did it for meme culture. Amazing.”

A clip of the pair talking before the jersey swap also circulated on social media.

It even showed Black moving positions, possibly to make sure the message read right.

The pair are both rookies in the league with their stars on the rise.

Dick, 20, was drafted No. 13 overall by the Toronto Raptors out of Wichita, Kansas.

He spent a period at the G-League affiliate Raptors 905 before the turn of the year.

Grady comes from a sporting background after his mom Carmen also played college basketball at Iowa State.

Black, meanwhile, was the No. 6 overall pick last year out of Arkansas.

The 20-year-old was a five-star recruit and already showed flashes of his talent during his young Magic career.
