Michael Jordan’s epic cry gets its own 30 For 30 trailer
In 2009, overwhelmed by the ovation he received at his own Hall Of Fame induction, basketball legend Michael Jordan had himself a good cry. Not just a good cry, but a great cry. Maybe the greatest cry of all time. His eyes turned blood red, and tears streamed down his face like little waterfalls. His face all but melted off his skull. While the moment may have been incredibly powerful and poignant at the time, the image of the weeping Jordan is hilarious when taken out of context. The internet has been using and abusing the hell out of it for months now. Ironically, though the original picture actually captures a moment of triumph for the star athlete, “crying Jordan” has become an icon of failure and defeat. His tear-stained face is now pasted onto the bodies of sportsmen who have just lost crucial games. Such are the cruel realities of social media.
