Twitter had a field day after the Charlotte Hornets lost to the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs.

Everybody knew that if the Charlotte Hornets lost to the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs, Twitter would release an epic batch of Crying Jordans in honor of Charlotte’s chairman Michael Jordan. After Charlotte got blown out by the Miami Heat in Game 7, Twitter unleashed a storm of Crying Jordans and it definitely did not disappoint.

The Hornets must regroup and reevaluate their team if they want to make the playoffs again next season. For now though, they must live with the fact that they created either the best Crying Jordans ever or the worst Crying Jordans ever, depending on how one feels about the infamous meme.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat advance to the second round of the NBA Playoffs where they will face the winner of the Game 7 tonight between the Indiana Pacers and the Toronto Raptors. Whoever wins, the Heat should be able to give them a strong challenge as they try to win one more NBA title for Dwayne Wade.

Without further ado, here comes the best of the fury of Crying Jordans.
