KD and Russ got savaged by the Crying Jordan
After the Thunder lost in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook got the ‘Crying Jordan’ treatment.
The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered one of the biggest collapses in the NBA Playoffs, when they blew a 3-1 series lead to the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. After the Thunder looked like they were going to run away with the series, the Warriors found that championship spirit put forth an effort to win the game.
As in any case where a team chokes away a big lead in embarrassing fashion, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the rest of the Thunder got the “Crying Jordan” treatment after they lost the Western Conference Finals.

In what is easily becoming the best meme in the world, if it isn’t already, there is nothing quite like watching a team get the treatment of the “Crying Jordan” after a tough loss on the floor.
It’s already bad enough that Thunder probably suffered the biggest collapse in playoff history, but now they get to be put on several memes and will forever be known as the team that collapsed harder than anyone else in basketball.
