Michael Jordan finally shows emotion, love for Hornets after playoff wins image

Michael Jordan is as stoic as stoic gets. Other than his now-infamous crying face, the NBA legend and Hornets owner never seems to change his demeanor. 

Monday night, Jordan sat courtside for Charlotte's 89-85 win over the Heat and got pretty into it. He even gave Kemba Walker a big hug in the postgame celebration. It was the Hornets' second playoff win since Jordan bought a minority stake in the Bobcats in 2006. The first came on Saturday, when Jordan also got pretty emotional.

But the best Jordan-related moment of Monday's game came when Jeremy Lin did his best MJ impersonation after banking in a 3-pointer. Lin said postgame it wasn't meant to be a Jordan tribute, but we'd like to think it was.
