Cleveland Cavaliers fans have waited a long time to see their team win their first NBA title in franchise history. Fifty-two years, to be exact. With all that pent up anxiety, frustration, and anticipation, there were a lot of things that got tossed to the side when Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals came to an end and the Cavaliers were officially NBA champions. Like, the desire to peruse their favorite adult entertainment streaming site. Or caring about the well-being of their own limbs.
Deadspin obtained a video from one of their readers named Bruce, who was so excited to see the Cavs hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy that he started to joyously jump around. Typical fan move. Then, he started flipping his own furniture. Usually, fans save that type of behavior for when they are outside of their home. And finally, as the party of one celebration was just getting underway, Bruce badly rolled his ankle.
"It's okay," he exclaims, as he tries to get himself back up. But let's be real, that looked like it hurt. A LOT. Even the euphoria of seeing his favorite team win the title couldn't mask the pain he was feeling shortly afterwards as he writhed on the ground in pain.
Bruce told Deadspin he will be spending the next six weeks in a walking boot and on crutches because of his brief celebration. C'mon, Bruce! Act like you've been there before... wait, nevermind.
