VIDEO: 'Crying Jordan' Lives Again as MJ Sheds Tear Giving Speech at New Medical Clinic
By Michael Luciano
As much as you would like to believe that the "Crying Jordan" meme has been relegated to the wasteland of modern memory and is no longer relevant due to intense and ridiculous overuse, the man himself has given Twitter trolls all around the world another gift from the gods. The Chicago Bulls legend and Charlotte Hornets owner spoke at the opening of a new local medical clinci that he donated millions of dollars to help establish. Jordan let the waterworks flow, and inadvertently birthed Crying Jordan 2.0.
"This is a very emotional thing for me to be able to give back to a community that has supported me over the years," the six-time NBA champion and North Carolina native said.
The original meme came about during Jordan's Basketball Hall of Fame induction speech, and his withstood the test of time better than just about any other sports related meme.
The new health center cost around $7 million, and will focus on care for lower-income families and the uninsured in the Charlotte area.

While the internet gets months upon months of new Crying Jordan material, Charlotte gets a new healthcare hub to provide better coverage to low-income families. A win-win if there ever was one.
