The NBA draft has turned into a two-night affair because there's just too much emotion to be contained in a single night. Anyone who watched the first round on Wednesday night is spent emotionally after watching athlete after athlete break down and give us the waterworks after their selection. And make no mistake about it, it's stuff like this that makes sports great. Seeing someone realize a lifelong dream against impossible odds is incredibly moving and if you can't cry on draft night then what's the point?
Even still, this year's parade of picks was even more emotional than usual with a lot of future NBA stars, role players and two-way options breaking out the tears.
