Victor Wembanyama is making the case that even big boys are allowed to cry.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Spurs advanced to the second<\/a> round of the NBA playoffs after dismantling the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Following the win, Wemby<\/a> was caught on camera getting weepy, which sent some Internet trolls into attack mode, labeling the 22-year-old “soft” for shedding tears after a game that wasn’t for a championship.<\/p>\n

If you think Wembanyama is losing sleep over the alphas coming out to get him, he tried swatting that assumption with a vengeance.<\/p>\n

Wemby addressed the haters with the same reach he uses to lead the league in blocks.<\/p>\n

“I think it is first and foremost a fear of judgment,” Wembanyama said regarding the crying controversy. “Personally, I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.”<\/p>\n

“I took that personally and the rest is history,” he added.<\/p>\n

Sure, there are a few moments in life when tears make sense for a man, i.e., a child being born or your favorite team winning a championship; to his credit, Wemby wore his emotions on his sleeve and never apologized for the raw emotion.<\/p>\n

After a 114\u201395 blowout to clinch the series, the “Alien” has the Spurs looking like a legitimate<\/a> threat again.<\/p>\n

And if you have a problem with a grown man crying over a win, you can take it up with his 8-foot wingspan.<\/p>\n
