#3: Kobe Bryant - Shooting Guard, Los Angeles Lakers
Kobe holds a press conference, with his wife, to answer questions about being sued by a Colorado woman who accused him of sexual assault in a hotel room. Kobe began crying while telling his wife how much he loved her. That must have been one of the reasons he (admittedly) committed adultery.
#2: Mark Cuban - Owner, Dallas Mavericks
This past year, Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki received the NBA's Most Valuable Player award, and as Cuban was introducing Nowitzki to the press, he began to cry while explaining how nice of a guy Nowitzki was. Or maybe Cuban could have been thinking about the two-time MVP he let walk away two years prior, Steve Nash.
#1: Andre Agassi - Singles Tennis, eight-time Grand Slam Champion
In 2006, Agassi, arguably the greatest tennis player of all time, left the game at the US Open in New York, only to break down on the microphone in front of a packed house. Before leaving for good, Agassi was quoted as saying, "The scoreboard shows that I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't show is what I feel."
