NBA: Post an NBA moment that made you cry or at least choked up

I went to Sean Elliott's 1st game after his comeback from his kidney transplant and I had tears in my eyes when they announced him in the starting line up that night.

in 11' June when the goddamn buzzer was whistled in game 6 of the NBA finals... when our god Dirk lifted that golden trophy named after Larry O'Brien... I literally was moved to tears watching that Actually I've been a mav fan since umm, 06 or 07 because of Leigh who was a die-hard mav fan, and I was so lucky that I only waited 4 years something to witness our team winning da NBA championship, and I can totally and vicariously understand how depressed most mavs fans felt through the dark era of the 2000s (with 06 being the pinnacle)

And I only waited about one year (since my obsession with Goddess began) to see our beloved goddess receiving her first ever Oscar nomination

Don't forget Holger in the stands

ing 6. You're ing lying if you say you're a Spurs fan and didn't tear up after that . Championships are so rare. To have the greatest one ever in your hands, ready to raise over your head and just hand the over to the other team is pure ing agony.

I just picked up a on New Braunfels Ave on the way back from AT&T Center and took out my anger on it.

Game 6 of the 2003 NBA finals. Being there in the arena probably had an effect on this ol' sport as well

i was pretty sad when Magic retired because he is still an all time favorite and I figured he would soon die. Fortunately he's been able to bless us with his mastery of English and his gay brontosaurus son.

I was upset when Spurs lost in 2012 because of shady officiating, but the loss of game 6 stuck with me much longer. I was choked up but didn't cry, not because I'm cool, but because I was coming off a surgery and was pretty high on painkillers, so I was comfortably numb until the really sunk in.

[SpurSwag]

Gotta be honest, it was 6 but not when we lost

I really started tearing up with the 28 seconds left because I really thought we had it locked. I normally don't get ahead of myself, but I really didn't see us losing that one. I remember I couldn't move and I was just staring at the TV with my hands on my head with my eyes tearing up. Tbh didn't really react to when they blew it, it was kind of surreal and Im the type to get more emotional about good things than bad.

Still, can't watch video of game 6 or 7 of that series without getting really mad/sad. It really is the biggest meltdown in basketball and possibly sports history

[Budkin]

Artest saved that ship for the Lakers. I gotta admit I LOL'ed when he thanked his shrink afterwards. I actually felt pretty happy for the guy.

[DAF86]

Watching the guys fight 'till the bitter end and not allowing the Heat to blow the game wide open in 7 after 6 had me a little emotional.

[ElNono]

Don't cry or choke up about sports anymore, tbh... likely a combo of getting older and the fact that our team isn't the favorite going in anymore...

Probably the closest was the 2005 Finals... Tough as nail series, and while the road looked clear after the Horry heroics in Detroit, dropping game 6 at home was a big blow, and that game 7 was just a complete nail-biter...

[Venti Quattro]

I from too much

Definitely Stephen A. Smith's finest moment for me, tbh.

Tbh, I didn't choke up or anything because I don't care about sports in that way anymore, but seeing Duncan smash the floor after missing the layup was sad, tbh..

IMHO, the 2005 Finals was the greatest Finals ever. Two great TEAMS at the absolute peak of their power slugging it out for 7 games. I was emotionally drained after that series. Tears of joy!

Don't think you all wanna see it again...but yeah...for me that Ray Allen 3. Cried a little for the guys that night because I knew we wouldn't be able to recover and win game 7.

[DMC]

When Ray Allen hit that 3 in game 6, I was so upset--more so because of how we let ourselves get in that position--that I literally didn't have any reaction at all. I just stared at the TV in hopelessness. I knew there was no coming back from that and that we were going to lose in OT and then in game 7.

Then after game 7, when they're interviewing Green in the locker room and he's getting really emotional talking about how he let down Manu and the guys. And then when Manu is at the podium and you can hear the Championship celebration going on in the background and you know Manu hears it too. That really hit me because it reminded me just how much those guys care. Didn't cry in either situation--but was just very sad and depressed.

I hear you bro. I bet Manu was sad when he learned 10K people were laid off in Detroit, or that my area softball team didn't fare so well. I just missed the money in a fishing tournament a few weeks back and I bet Manu was inconsolable. The money doesn't help... it's all about the win.

Why did I not see this prior to tonight

[Sean Cagney]

This, Memorial Day Miracle and D ROB jumping up and down when he left the court for the final time in 03 game 6 Yes a GAME 6 I remember and love and nearly teared up.

I was so doped up on Xanax that night I was numb when they won... my feeling was more relief than joy.

tbh that game 6 had me tearing up. Robinson jumping and spinning. He was the reason I was a Spur fan and after all the he took for being soft he was going out a champ. Still my favorite one.
