NBA fans can be a passionate bunch. From chirping at Luka Doncic during games to throwing water bottles at Kyrie Irving as he walks through the tunnel — fans can go too far sometimes. And as the NBA Finals heat up, an OKC fan found out just how far NBA fans, specifically, Pacers fans, can go. And if you remember the headlines during the Eastern Conference Finals, you’ll know how ironic this is.
Frankly speaking, it’s never a good idea to go out in a rival city wearing your team’s colors. But it’s doubly bad when the team of the city you’re in just lost to the one you’re repping. Well, a Thunder fan made that oversight as he roamed the streets of Indianapolis with a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander jersey.
And to say things didn’t end well for him would be the understatement of the year. In a viral video that’s doing the rounds, the fan could be seen, visibly traumatized, surrounded by a mob of Indy fans. His SGA shirt? Torn in pieces as he did his best to play it off. Now, it’s curious that Indy fans did this to another when one of their own was harassed in a similar way by Knicks fans.
Well, there’s that irony we talked about.
Stay tuned, this is a developing story.
