  Hey Adam! How are you doing? I tried to get in touch with you by facebook, but received no reply. Hope all is well with you. Sorry I missed you the last time you were in good ole Chester…would be fun to get together and talk about old times….send me a note and let me know how you and your family are doing. Hope to hear from you soon!

You the hell would all of you feel if you just gave the game to UCLA? They were so close to advancing. How would you fucking feel? I don;t think you would be happy and it’s ok no big deal. GO ADAM!!

I went to high school with Adam Morrison, so I’m going to attempt to shut some of you up. Everybody I know who knows him is in agreement with me here: he is a giant douche bag. He is one of the most self-centered people I have ever met. He’s a huge jerk.

this is just plain weird. i’m defending someone i don’t know. when you’re a superstar in high school, i’d imagine that it’s hard not to seem douche-y and self-centered. question: were you unpopular?

I hope he cries some more, and that Reddick does, and that there’s just more famous people crying in public all freely all the time. What a healthy beautiful world we’d have if we could all just let it out and cry like babies when we feel like it. Gives a whole new meaning to the word “baller” ha ha

I noticed Kal’s comment on April 11 and I just wanted to ask them, if they still follow this, you’re saying that in order to have a worthwhile life we have to accomplish a huge public success in a particular area? Please. As for Morrison crying, I agree with what has been said many times before, at least he has passion. At least he cares and is genuine. It seems to me that in this regard, Americans are relatively repressed. It is a lot more logical to express our emotions and get past them then to spend our lives pretending to feel/be someone we are not (something most Americans spend a lot of time doing). I am totally ignorant when it comes to what is needed to be an NBA player and only know what I have read, but his passion is going to be useful when he channels it into a drive to improve the areas he needs to improve to become a more well rounded player and further eligible for the NBA

Hey,when someone seems self-centered, what they really are is shy. I’ve been pathologically shy most of my life & that’s what I see on TV interviews. He has however become more self-assured as he has progressed thru college. He talks better & doesn’t duck his head down anymore. (from Spokane, MeadHS mom)

you idiots.i agree with everyone who thinks that this is wrong and morrison doesnt deserve to be ridiculed for ahving passion for his sport.so,they get ridiculed when guys dont care enough about the sport they play,and then they care a LOT about it and get ridiculed.

to Sam from #56, don’t blame Adam for YOU being a LOSER!!!

You bastards! Douche Bags even! My son has diabetes and he cries and gets emotional when his blood sugar is out of whack, which it does with physical activity. I’m willing to bet none of YOU have a life threatening illness like diabetes, yet you still aren’t good enough at any sport to play at Adam’s level! Losers. Adam Morrison rocks my world!
Posted by debbie-smiling4adam 10/5/06 at 4:47 pm #

I’m proud to say that my next jersey WILL be the #35 Morrison as a fellow diabetic I understand what it’s like to ride that roller coaster of emotions every second of every day, I was also very upset to see him & his team let that game slip through their fingers & as millions of viewers watched as his heart poured onto that court in tears someone by the name of MICHAEL JORDAN said thats the kind of HEART I need on my team!!!GREAT choice MICHAEL & Adam “KEEP PLAYING YOUR HEART OUT” and for those of you who wrote before me with nothing good to say WHEN HAS MICHAEL JORDAN EVERY PICKED YOU FOR ANYTHING?

If you really think about all of this, you will have to admit he is a great player and role model, I think more people should have the passion he displays for the things they like. Adam don’t let them get you down, all of your fellow Zags support you fully!!!!
Posted by Nick 11/20/06 at 8:53 pm #

I went to high school with adam as well sam and he is definitely not a douche. He is one of the coolest guys you could hope to know and he is one of the greatest white basketball players to graze the face of the planet. Like Big D said, he plays with a lot of passion, something that is missing in the game today, especially at the NBA level where it is all about the money. Redick sucks dick by the way. Morrison for president. And to all the people who are making fun of him for crying, eat a juicy cock, he loves the game, and he loved GU and he was emotional that he had just played his last game with those guys.

[...] The 6′8, 220-pound Morrison is very talented, there’s no denying that. But here’s hoping that the imagery of him sobbing for his mama under that crazy ‘do soon fades into oblivion. [...]

Who cares if the guys emotional?
Obviously you people arent athletes.
You dont know what its like to work for years, to give it everything you have for 4 quarters, and lose so closely.

If i was in his position i would have cried too.
Theres nothing wrong with it.
All those who criticise are just [subconsciously] jealous. And you all should just let it go.

Let’s just take a quick run-through of Adam Morrison’s career…
Star basketball player bringing his small-town college team to the playoffs, drafted 3rd pick out of his Junior year of college, makes amazing NBA plays, he’s a top scorer, plays with a passion that you don’t find in most players, and all of this while being type 1 diabetic for half of his life.
Let’s make fun of him for his emotion after losing during a 29-GAME WINNING STREAK. You do better, I don’t think you can. He’s making more money than you ever will, even under a rookie contract, so I don’t think he cares if you bash him in a comment for just another jealous poke at his fame. Grow up.

All the ridicule that Adam has been suffering as a result of this is just INSANE.

It’s as many posters have said prior to this — he possesses a passion for the game of basketball that 99% of players today unfortunately lack.

He loves the game…much like I love the game. I can sympathize with his feelings in that given situation…and being a huge fan of his AND Gonzaga at large, I wasnt feeling my best after that game either. He cried AFTER LOSING A GAME WHICH WE LED BY DOUBLE DIGITS THROUGHOUT. In the SWEET 16 no less. He was emotional, get over it.

PS: I, too, am a Type 1 insulin-dependent diabetic. His accomplishments are rmarkable. Because varying blood sugar levels can drasitcally affect your performance (such as touch on shooting, depth perception, etc). Give him a break.

That stache of his looks like pubes stapled on hi face.

OH he’s JAWS from the Roger Moore days? LOL!!
I know him best from HAPPY GILMORE as ADAM SANDLER’s former boss, BIG fan support, and SHOOTER McGavin killer!
Quotes:
“Excuse me, i believe that belongs to Mr. Gilmore”
“I’m counting on you, to meet me in the parking lot”
His shirt says:”Guns don’t Kill People, I kill People!”

There is nothing wrong with being emotional.. but the fact that this guy started crying BEFORE THE GAME WAS OVER, with time still on the clock, and with a chance to still win the game, is ridiculous.

I have not problem with the emotion he showed, but save it for after the game.
