Viral Video Shows T.J. McConnell’s Mom Asking Cameraman To Stop Filming Him Crying After Pacers Loss

Did you all see that viral video of T.J. McConnell‘s mom asking the cameraman to stop filming him crying after the Pacers’ 103-91 loss?

It is all over the socials! It was such a heartwarming moment – you could really see how much she cares about her son. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t tear up after a tough loss like that?

Recently, a video went viral on the internet showing T.J. inconsolably crying as he headed to the locker room. Like the rest of us, the ESPN cameraman also wanted to show the emotional side of the high-stakes NBA Games.

But as the camera guy followed the Pacers’ backup point guard, the team’s VP of Player Relations, Karen Atkeson, confronted the cameraman. She waved her hands at the lens and asked to stop filming the vulnerable and personal moment of the Indiana star.

It was expected that T.J. McConnell would experience an emotional toll after the game. He put on a solid performance, scoring 16 points and grabbing six rebounds.

He even managed to spark a crucial moment in the game with 10 straight points during the third quarter. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, the Thunder’s defense was just too much for the Pacers to handle.

But seriously, props to T.J.’s mom for looking out for him like that. It just goes to show that even NBA players need their moms to have their backs sometimes. And hey, who knows, maybe this video will inspire other parents to stand up for their kids in similar situations. Moms are the real MVPs!
