Hey this might be an off topic question but it's NBA related and relates to specific games plus it'll be taken more seriously here.

Have you ever cried due to a basketball game? I think I did for the first time ever today. The Lakers go on a huge run to blowout the spurs and the commentators are talking about Kobe's rough offseason and all that trauma and what all the Laker fans went though then on a big alley oop while Kobe is on the bench and the Lakers are just dominating the Spurs call a timeout and Kobe leaps off the bench with the biggest smile I've ever seen and is just praising all of his teammates. It definetely brought some moisture to my eyes just to see my team happy after all that trouble and my main guy with a huge smile.

What about you guys? Ever cried during a game? Eff the other sports the NBA is the most emotional sport

^^wow...

A cry of joy, or a cry of defeat?

I'm asking whether you have ever cried period but personally my cry was a cry of joy.

When words spread that Jason Collins was being traded to the Grizzlies for Stromile Swift but Lawrence Frank played him anyway against the Atlanta Hawks I cried...

after losing the last game in high school i remember crying.

just knowing i wouldn't play with those guys anymore on that organized level....etc. pretty lame, i suppose....but it sorta hit me all at once.

Oh yeah I remember that. I definetely was emotional when that happened but didn't cry. Good choice.

I saw alot of people cry at oracle Warriors vs Mavs series last season playoffs. It was so emotional.

Im not as avid a baseball fan as basketball but damn, I was right with you.

No. I feel like crap after some games but never have I cried. I was pissed for a couple months after the Bears lost the superbowl but still didn't cry. Seems lame to cry over something like sports.

The damn WCF game 7 in 2000 the blazers where what up 15 with 5 left to go and lost the game.......... it brings all blazer fans pain but i cryed durign that....i was 8 tho

Stockton's last game was in Sacramento, and as he got called off the floor by Jerry Sloan and everyone in Arco Arena gave him a very long standing ovation.

That really got to me.

You have to feel this. Pure class by Larry Brown and the entire Pistons team.

Same, I don't cry over sports. But I remember feeling pretty crappy for a while after the last World Cup.

I cried over an NCAA tournament game when I was like 10 and UCONN beat Clemson with like .8 seconds to go in the "Sweet 16" I believe it was and nearly cried when Kentucky beat Duke in the "Elite 8" in '98.

Vancouver Grizzlies last game at GM Place when after the game nobody left their seats and then everyone just started chanting "Let's go Grizzlies". Only time I've teared up over a sporting event.
