He was probably crying cuz he was embarrassed ... he looks too young to really understand sarcasm and that the man was just playing around
I would just explain to him that that the man was playing around and that it's not a big enough deal to start crying over
With that being said my son is very competitive and he wouldn't have cried ... he probably would have taken the ball and demanded a rematch ... on camera of course so "the ladies" can see LOL

that kid is a pussy.
THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASKETBALL!!!!!!!
He's crying cause that stranger screamed and hollard at him! Something he obviously aint use to. The kid looks to be about 5, so I'm thinking that being screamed at by a total stranger, it's ok to cry to mommy and daddy.
If it were my son, I would tell dude to apologize to my son, and explain that he was only playing and didn't mean him any harm.

no disrespect - but this is why women are not as effective at raising boys.
Embarrassed? too young to understand sarcasm? those are absolutely irrelevant and are merely excuses. Under no circumstances unless in great pain from mortal injury or extreme fear for a boy of 5-7 to cry under hte circumstances above. Absolutely unacceptable.
you should be proud that your son is competitive and has an unbroken spirit. don't break him - shape him.
Turn him around and tell him to run head first into the guys seed, with a punch for good measure...

Saw this dude bring his son to the courts a few weeks back, and the kid was around 14, he told him to play Utah with the bid dudes, and we all went easy on the kid, (for 1 it was a kool out game, and 2 he was just a kid). But his pops went in hard, blocking his shots, posting in the paint, stealing the ball. Everybody thought pops was being too tough on the kid, but you know what, you can tell that he is developing his game, playing against his pops like that. And when he gets older he wont be no joke to fuck with. That tough love!
Now if that was my son, I would explain to him that you never cry in sports, and teach him to never let failure in life get you down.

So I'm not raising my son properly because I gave reasons as to why the little boy may have cried?
Only a complete idiot would think a 5 year old boy would be able to understand the humour in what that man did and laugh along with him ... the look on his face was fear and embarrassment ... I only pointed out the obvious
Reading is fundamental though because I did say if that was my son I would tell him NOT to cry over something like that AFTER explaining to him that the man was just joking
And I don't need you tell me how to raise my son ... you have no fucking clue who I am

^this overly emotional mess is exactly why your son should be grateful if there's a male in his life.
how can the boy understand the explanation if he doesn't understand the context? this is why any child development expert tells you rules are more important than explanations because children do not understand explanations. classic parenting mistake: overestimate a child's intelligence. parents consistently do this. the child simply is UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE EXPLANATION so in this instance he is given the greenlight to revel in the emotion because he wasn't IMMEDIATELY GREETED WITH A RULE TELLING HIM TO STOP.
I tell a child to not stick a fork in the electrical socket because electricity will shock him means nothing to him. the only thing that will teach him is the shock itself - or the rule REINFORCEMENT. he'll never go near it because he knows this is an unbreakable rule. me explaining how electrons work and the conductivity of metals only confuses him and is a ridiculous thing to do BECAUSE THE INFORMATION IS SUPERFLUOUS TO HOW HE SHOULD HANDLE
THE SITUATION. This is a consistent thing that women do - superfluous talk - information irrevelant to the situation. i am guardian to my nephew and have been since he was born. his mother rambles emotionally and nonesensically about some shit - he texts me and asks me WHAT HE SHOULD DO. His exact question is WHAT DO I DO? not what i should think? not what i should feel or not feel? WHAT I SHOULD DO. this is how boys and girls are different. my niece calls me to shoot the shit. my nephew calls me to ask me for something and/or to help him solve something.
get wise to that buddy or else you're raising a bitch nigga. no disrespect.
good day.
Dude you are spinning your wheels she doesn't think a man is previlant to raise a child,if she did she would have made a better job in mate choosing and she will come behind this post and talk about me by saying I can't spell or a picture of some bitch I fucked but will not assurt the issue!

At 5 I didnt cry unless I was getting a beating. That kid is a pussy and the parents need to stop coddling his ass. With that said, I do approve of how the mother tried to get him back in there.
Nah. That kid was to young for that. I would just tell him that the guy was just playing and for him not to feel bad.
Now if the kid was older like 13 or 14 or something like that, then I would tell him that he just had to practice harder or at least learn to laugh and play it off like everybody else.
I mean if Jordan or Kobe did that to you, you wouldn't get mad, you would just probably shrug and laugh it off.
But for a kid that young, like I said, I would just tell him not to feel bad, because the guy was playing.

Make whatever assumptions about me and my son that you would like ... your disrespectful tone and words are not going to kill us.
When you are ready to speak to me with respect as a man then I will listen ... but clearly your only agenda is to put a woman down cuz there are at least 2 male posters in here who said the same exact thing I did but you chose to pick on and insult me instead while PRETENDING to teach me something ... yet I am the emotional one
Eat a dick .. and I meant that with every ounce of disrespect possible
The kid was like fucking 4 or 5 years old and some strange white man is yelling at him while playing basketball. How does that make him soft? 
I thought this kid was 10 or 11 year olds, thats a lil nigga man. I would've told dude to play me and dunk on him myself.

The reporter was a pussy...Shaq should have been there to slam on his ass.
A 5 year old???...wow,where is the humor??

I didn't respond to the males because i assumed they weren't raising a child.
So since you said Iwas the one being emotional point it out? I see that you called me:
- a complete idiot
- incapable of reading
- told me to eat a dick
- then attempted to take on the victim mantle - good strategy - by saying that my ill words won't harm you or your son.
- then you said i was pretending? what do i gain by pretending. what do i gain by attempting to put you down on a board predominated by males?
Alas, these are all called ad hominem. this is an attack that is irrelevant to the issue at hand. Changing the grounds of the conversation is usually the tactic of the person with the weaker or nonexistent argument.
you chose to quote one line out of my lengthy post and then used the victim strategy but completely disregarded the rest. This clearly means that you are not interested in discussion - but emotional play - overindulging in emotion which was my initial point.
you ended your last post with eat a dick. fair enough. this too is pandering to emotion - an emotional appeal that IS PRECISELY MY POINT - that single mothers often raise overly emotional boys if there is no counterbalance.
so any reasonably minded person would see that with every post you continue to reinforce my original statement. Even now I'm not trying to disrespect you nor will I begin to. I haven't called you any names on the sly or the humble - haven't tried to belittle you other than dissect exactly what you've posted and offer opinion as to why i disagree.
good day.
Pat is a clown
Co-fucking-sign.
I can't cosign this. I remember my lil cousin when he was 5...he would have been like "that's alright..do it again then if you can"...he was confident like that. Kids at 5 years old understand sarcasm. 5-7 years old is too old for a boy to be crying over getting dunked on and clowned.. I think a lot of parents "baby" their kids...especially boys.
