The Most Extreme Player-Fan Altercations in NBA History

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
From having a meet off with a fan, to going head to head with an old man, these are the times NBA players fought disrespectful fans. And first, it only took a few words to set Miles Bridges off.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:17)
Oh, he just got teed up, he gotta be careful.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:19)
And just, oh, a fan giving him some stuff as well.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:24)
But Devin Booker flipped out even harder, because when a fan started talking trash, he clapped back. But one supporter was talking so crazy, Rajon Rondo was sending death threats.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:38)
Let's see what happened with Rondo and the fan.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:42)
What is that guy doing? Are you kidding me?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:44)
But the Mamba had the ultimate silencer for a disrespectful fan, because he let his championships do the talking.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:50)
21 points in the final 12 for Shaq Hamad of the Staples Center.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:53)
You can't say nothing about wins, and that's something James Harden can't claim. I mean, a fan trolled him for flopping, so Harden hit back.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:01)
You're still the worst flopper in the NBA.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:05)
Just stay away. Damn, you never know when a player will flip out. I mean, Kyrie Irving was only asked about LeBron and was quick to pull the trigger.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:12)
Kyrie, where's LeBron?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:16)
Well, damn, that would have set me off, unless it was Dwight Howard, because when he made his return to LA, he and a Laker faithful had unsettled beef. But PJ. Tucker fought with love. See, PJ and Kevin Durant go way back to their hometown of Maryland, so when they were trying to kill each other in the playoffs, Katie's momma had to take control.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:51)
His match up with Durant's so important defensively for the Bucs.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:54)
And the Bucs now over the foul of it.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:59)
Respect the real MVP, unlike this next stand. Because the dude in the purple shirt thought trolling Dwayne Wade could do some damage, but instead, Wade went off.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:09)
Will there be a game seven? Wade, another three, it's good.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:20)
Dwayne Wade from downtown. Wade wants Kimba Walker to switch on.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:29)
Wade leans in, falling away, puts it in. Dwayne Wade does it again.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:35)
He deserves all the blame for that loss, but LeBron James had a comeback for his haters, because NBA fans watched LeBron go down in the 2011 NBA finals with smiles on their faces, but he had the perfect answer to kill their joy.

**SPEAKER_10** (2:48)
Does it bother you that so many people are happy to see you fail?

**SPEAKER_11** (2:53)
Absolutely not, because at the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day, they got to wake up tomorrow, have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They got the same personal problems that they had today. And I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:15)
So Ron had time for all the smoke that day. And you already know John Moran stays ready, even for kids.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:21)
It looked like he wanted to cheer, but he had that jersey on. I apologized to him, but in that moment, bro, take the jersey off and then that me up.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:30)
Do you expect him back and you want him back in the Grizzlies, Drew?

**SPEAKER_8** (3:35)
Somebody find his information, I'll send it with myself.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:39)
He made the kid come back as a Grizzlies fan, but imagine having beef with a mascot. See, while NBA stadiums were still recovering from COVID, the Raptors mascot tried throwing Devin Booker off his game.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:49)
You see the Raptors mascot. You know, when there's nobody else in the building, you kind of stand out.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:00)
But Charles Barkley had issues with an entire fan base. Look, the Warriors fans hate Charles so much, they interrupt his job, but Chuck is always ready for war.

**SPEAKER_10** (4:10)
Yo, they throwing stuff up here.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:14)
You go back to Milwaukee-Boston game one, you go back to Dallas against... Hey, don't leave me alone, don't leave me out there mama.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:28)
But you better not step up to the king. See, somebody sitting courtside with his death upon Ronnie James' life, so his pops had him banished forever.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:36)
Oh, see, somebody is... We got a fan that's got a little unruly, and LeBron is pointing it out to the official.
