10 MOST EMOTIONAL NBA MOMENTS

but I think he was murdered and the fact that he was murdered was not for God's sake brother, when are we going to do something? These are the 10

most

emotional

moments

in NBA history and at number 10 the NBA was about to welcome its next big stars. when they shocked the world before we continue tonight, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that the Baylor Center Isaiah Austin heard about Isaiah, he is one of the best collegiate players in the country and was expected to be drafted tonight before it was discovered a few ago days that he had a genetic disorder called Marfan syndrome and can no longer play competitive basketball and we wanted to make sure that he fulfilled at least this part of his dream, so I am happy to say that with the next selection in the NBA draft of 2014, NBA selects Isaiah Austin Baylor University foreigner, you know I'll be part of the NBA family forever if I had worked this hard for this moment, man the commissioner is real for that, but at number nine a player had the whole stadium fearing. for the life of him, this is the guy who probably made the biggest shot in Cavs history, they're going up, oh my god, Hayward fell so hard, okay, Hayward broke his leg, Hayward broke his leg, Hayward broke He broke his leg, oh my god, oh my god.

This was such a scary injury that they don't even allow it on YouTube, so Gordon's moment had the entire MBA rooting for him and during the next Celtics game he let everyone know that he would be fine. He had a couple of things he was going to do. What to say tonight, but I noticed that someone really wants to let you know something and I appreciate that you would love to hear from it. Here we go, what's up? He just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has his thoughts and prayers. You heard me that I can't be there for the first home game, but I'll support you from here and I wish you the best of luck, kill tonight, thanks guys, you gotta respect Gordon for even wanting to take a step back in a core. but on number eight, sometimes

emotional

moments

can turn you into one of the biggest memes in the history of social media.

Who else but Kevin Durant? I'm sure we've all seen photos of him like these and they appeared during the 2013 season when Katie was on a mission to become the best player in the NBA and after dominating the entire league she was crowned MVP until she got the award and he decided he wasn't even the one who deserved it. I don't know about you, but I usually do it. Remember what brought me here, you wake me up in the middle of the night in the summer, you make me run uphill, you make me do push-ups, you yell at me from the sidelines of my games when I was eight or nine years old. we believe it kept us off the streets putting clothes on our backs food on the table when you didn't eat you make sure we ate we went to sleep hungry we sacrificed ourselves for us you, the real MVP I'm not crying, you're the things that could They have been much worse, although as in number seven, we are the emotional moment of a player that made him find tens of thousands of dollars.

It's all because the NBA referees have been acting crazy, ejecting players for no reason, throwing dogs, even this rejection looks like Gucci Mane is riding. four-wheelers in the middle of the games, so when Fred Van ran away he told the referees that they weren't doing his job properly, they hit him with an attack and lost his team to win, so Fred exploded. Ben Taylor was terrible tonight, you know, a couple more, you know. Of the three, there's one or two that just the game is over, you know, and it's been like that a couple of games in a row, you come out tonight and you're competing pretty hard in the third quarter.

I receive a technological change in the entire dynamic. the game changes the entire flow of the game just the game up no one comes to see damn Fred was mad The NBA didn't care how emotionally God they found him thirty thousand dollars just for speaking out against the referees but only getting fined the Money isn't as emotional as number six because James Harden did something crazy for his biggest fan. Hardin may seem intimidating, but he cares more about his fans than al

most

any other NBA player, so he spends a lot of time giving back or praising them.

To them, these fans are the best fans in the NBA, you know, a lot of fans say that, but they like to ride or die, like probably the best fans in the NBA, so he pushed himself and heard that his biggest fan was suffering a tragedy that threatened his life. He had to get involved last week, a gunman killed three people and wounded five more at Michigan State University and one of the surviving students is John Howe, 20, and he is a big fan of James Harden and, according to a GoFundMe page, House's injuries. I left him paralyzed from the chest down, so after reading his story, James Harden stepped in and sent sneakers, including a pair he got, to the hospital for how he contributed to his GoFundMe creation to alleviate some of the medical bills and spent time cheering The young man, thank God, is fine, thank you.

Arden told me that he wanted to make John's day even if it was just for a minute and he knows that John's life will never be the same and he hardened, he said that he gave it to John. his phone number made sure to let him know that they will face each other again soon and hopefully Hardin told me that John will be able to attend one of his future games so we are thinking of you John James Harden which is an amazing gesture for Hardin . Being so famous and still caring about it, a person says a lot more about who they are than anything they do in the core, but in number five, getting emotional in the core ruined the lives of Russell Westbrook's entire family.

Westbrook's trade to the Lakers was supposed to be special. him until he got on the court and forgot how to shoot a basketball. He had everyone clowning around. Westbrook. I'm the biggest fan of all. Russell West Brick. You know it and I know it. What disappoints me about Westbrook is where is this Westbrook? He goes from coast to coast diving. people, then Westbrook became West Brick, the problem was that his entire family shared the last name, so the jokes even hurt them and that made Westbrook reach his breaking point. um, I haven't done anything to anyone, I haven't listened to anyone, I haven't listened to anyone.

I've done anything but play basketball once it starts to affect my family, my wife, um, even today, my mom said something about it today and it affects them even going to the games, like I don't even want to take my kids. to the game because I don't I don't want them to hear people calling their father nicknames and other names for no reason. It really hit me the other day, honestly. I mean, my wife was at a parent-teacher conference with my son. And the teacher told me that she, like Noah, is so proud of her last name that she writes it everywhere, she writes it on everything she tells him, everyone walks around and says: I'm Westbrook Westbrook, that's his last name and I stayed sitting there in shock and it hit me like Damn, I can't let people anymore, you know, for example, West Brick, now shame me like I'm a shame, my name is my legacy to my children, now Westbrook felt that He did the right thing by defending his family, but all that really.

What he did was make things even worse. I tell them what he had done. He hadn't bothered her enough to play better. What's up with Chris? And it didn't just happen on television. Social media was full of Westbrook posts. People literally dropped West Brick products. I even sent a full distortion track to his DMS with Ok, let's talk about these takes and why you take them. All these bricks, now you can build the Staples on what happens with your shot, man, they all back up, so, yeah, I can't change, no. net, you're selling for a check, damn, you must feel bad for Westborough, all that just to be traded across the street, at least it didn't make it to number four, where a player's emotional moment made the comedian more greatest in the world will calm him down.

There is one thing to know about Kawhi Leonard is that he is the least emotional athlete of all time. I mean, most people think he's a robot, the man doesn't know what fist bump he can't give a speech without sounding awkward. Not Kawhi. I even know when his teammates are just joking, look at the look, the look that comes, so the one time he thought something was funny turned into one of the most viral moments in NBA history, how do you Would you describe yourself and what would you like people to do? to find out about you I'm a fun guy uh obviously I love the game of basketball um I mean it's just more questions you have to ask so I can tell you about myself.

I just can't tell you a lot, no I don't even know where Kevin is sitting at work, what what is that, what just happened if someone is sitting in front of one of your shows and they laugh like that, we'll punch them in the head. face now I don't know what it is Kawhi's funniest laugh or the fact that Kevin Hart is five foot two and thinks someone is afraid he's going to punch him in the face any way he clowns. Kawaii made more than 16 million people laugh, but at number three no one laughs in the most emotional way of What if in the history of the NBA that? made me who I am Derrick Rose thought he had a bright future ahead of him and it all started with hope when he came in as the number one pick in the NBA draft and instantly became a superstar.

Let me introduce you to Derrick Rose, he became the greatest Chicago Bull. since Michael Jordan because he was dominating the best players in the NBA and finally made history by becoming the youngest MVP in history. The 2010-11 foreign MVP trophy was on top of the world until as quickly as things got worse, his fall began during a blowout victory when he wasn't even supposed to be playing we're looking to sweep you guys they wanted us they were screaming that they passed by up to the toughest team in Miami with his left foot you see him holding on to his knee holding on to his knee and below he was flying and he landed badly with his left foot, whether it was an ankle or a knee, I don't know, yes, there is the coach Collins out there and all those teammates running around in this with the injury schemes he's missed with a variety of innings. and now clutching a knee at the end of a game that has already been decided for all intents and purposes, Rose landed poorly and suffered one of the scariest injuries in basketball, a torn ACL.

Rose was immediately forced to go to rehab, where he hoped to eventually return to the core. as if nothing had happened until that day came and he couldn't escape more devastating injuries or people doubting him. Derrick Rose, as far as I'm concerned, is done and I don't mean done, I don't mean done as an NBA player, yeah. I don't mean ending up as a great NBA player, I mean ending up like Derrick Rose, yes we both know that all this negative attention even made Rose start to doubt himself. Stories leaked about fans running into him and telling him you're the man and he'd respond with no I used to be Rose didn't know where his career was but a part of him still wanted to be successful so while he was giving a emotional interview, it was like I could feel something bad was going to happen, so nervous right now I don't know why I want to talk to you yeah because he in New York right now I hope nothing good happened interview with Rose take four markers a big separation um what's up you lie yes foreigner everything plays Rose was not only excited about the trade from Chicago, where she was born and raised, so it was like her own hometown gave up and she was sent to a team in last place in the league .

It wasn't even close to the end of his misery, more trades, more injuries, even more teams giving up on him. It eventually took him to the Minnesota Timberwolves where he knew he only had one chance left to prove he still belonged in the league and that's when he had the most emotional night of his entire life he finally gives up Derrick Rose immediately watches a three-pointer Kansas has improved a lot of his hard and raw shot Rose attacks challenges let's go Baron Gobert couldn't arrive on time as if Rose was playing very well for the Anchorman Timberwolves also tonight the third corner has his first raw points of the fourth quarter.

Derrick Rose has 41. raw from the corner and it's a new career high for Derrick Rose, that's crazy, the stop to make it to the end 46th for Rose's side. takes a hard shot and hits it anyway 15. half century for Derrick Rose here tonight Exxon has him blocked in the corner by who else Derek 2011 MVP Rose everyone comes out onto the field to greet him and show him the respect and Everyone would know what This means to him, they know what he has lost and now what he is trying to find. What a great moment for Derrick Rose.

Yes, Nick Helgressive was D Rose last night. It was shocking that this night was meant to be. It was destined. happen even when a superhero was taken down, he's still a superhero at the end of the day to RoseTab, the best game of his career after everything he had been through was bigger than basketball, gave hope to the entire world, but just overcoming injuries is One thing at number two Michael Jordan had an emotional moment because the closest person in his life was murdered. Two 18-year-olds accused of murdering basketball star Michael Jordan's father appeared in court.

The murder of MJ's father was unexpected and not even the biggest thing. The basketball player once knew how to deal with it, but MJ just sitting there and being sad wasn't an option. I mean, I know he had to happen, but I think he was murdered and the fact that he was murdered is kind of a searing pain. pain, I mean, have you dealt with that? Have you accepted the fact that he was murdered? Not because I'm a very optimistic person in the sense that I don't look at the really bad part. I looked no. No matter what happened to my father, he's not here, so he happened to me.

I want to see it in a good way, in fact, he decided to use the murder of his father as motivation. MJ's Bulls were up 3-2 in the NBA Finals with a chance to win a championship and Game 6 landed on Father's Day no less, so there was no way Jordan could let his dad down. in Seattle. Michael Jordan Scottie Pippen right here in the middle of the court, no one was coming to stop him, but Michael Jordan running over here and here's Jordan kicking him, yeah, they've caught up with this crowd and they played a big role in this win this evening.

I can't even put it into words, my kids are foreigners now, that's why MJ is the one going, but number one the most emotional moment in NBA history united the entire world it all started when LeBron was about to leave behind Kobe on the NBA all-time scoring list there is James and our leading scorer in NBA history passing Kobe Bryant and after that the story was made Kobe tweet a congratulations, but if the world knew that those were the last words Kobe would send, good afternoon from New York, we will go on air with breaking news, very sad news to tell the sports world, the LA Times reports that Retired Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash.

This was the last thing anyone expected, so it made the entire world tremble. I mean, no one could even talk about this situation without crying. I'm devastated, it's devastating, obviously. I found out a few minutes after the reports came out and uh no, no, I don't know, uh, when Kobe Bryant died, a part of me died after that, players everywhere started their next games with eight-second violations. as a tribute to Kobe's jersey number. The Lakers had a Kobe night where each player wore their jersey number and were even introduced as Kobe before LeBron gave a heartfelt speech so in the words of Kobe Bryant Mamba out but in the words of us not forgotten live brother and LeBron was right Kobe won't soon be forgotten his legendary career had both of his jerseys hanging in the Staples Center, the NBA even completely changed the All-Star Game to focus solely on Kobe, including naming the MVP award in his honor, Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP.

The Kobe trophy brought together an entire city that scratches the entire world so there will never be another player or another human being like a foreign Kobe.
