The relationship between fans and players has been a major point of discussion in this post-season. Both Draymond Green And Keri Irving He was fined for giving road fans the middle finger in this playoff alone, and now, Chris Paul It deals with a somewhat similar situation.

A Dallas fan was kicked out of Game 4 of the second-round series between Paul’s Phoenix Suns and the Mavericks, while being taken outside, Paul is seen in a video saying “I’ll see you later”. It’s too early for the league to issue any discipline at the moment, and it’s not clear if they will.

While it is not currently clear why Paul was angry, Dave McMenamin He did his best to explain it after the match. He stated that a Dallas fan got his hands on Paul’s mother and that his wife also paid. Paul’s children were also present and, according to a McMenamin source, “felt very insecure.”

Paul echoed those sentiments on Twitter After the game. “I want good players to say things to the fans but the fans can get their hands on our families…and—this!!” Paul Books.

Paul is the former president of the NBA Players Association, although his term is now over. It’s unclear exactly how the league and syndicate might set out to fix these issues, but the past few seasons have seen a number of high-profile incidents of fan misconduct. A Boston fan threw a water bottle at Irving Stadium in 2021 after the season ended.

Others were accused of racist rhetoric towards players. It has become one of the biggest problems in the entirety of basketball, and while fans are fired because of it, players often face discipline just to respond. Paul is clearly frustrated with this situation, and if the league doesn’t give players room to respond, it needs to do a better job of preventing these incidents from ever happening.
