Everybody and their baby’s momma will be applauding Isaiah Thomas this morning for going into the stands and confronting an idiot Philly fan. After making 1 of 2 free throws with 3:06 seconds left, Thomas said he was running back and a fan had “both of his middle fingers up hollering, ‘F— you, b—-‘ three times.”
So when Philly called a timeout with 2:53 left, instead of ole boy walking to the bench with his teammates, he walked into the stands to confront the idiot talking crazy to him. Bad move and I’ll explain in a minute.
Thomas told reporters “I said, ‘Don’t be disrespectful. I’m a man before anything. Be a fan.’ His response was, ‘I’m sorry, I just wanted a Frosty.'” Apparently there is a promotion where the 76ers give fans a frozen dessert if an opposing player misses two free throws in the second half.
I.T. goes on to say, “That crossed the line. I’ve got kids. I’ve got a family. That’s not OK at all. So I just went to go tell him that. I’m never going to be disrespected in any way.”
I completely understand him feeling that way but that wasn’t the time or the place to do it and that could have ended badly.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Regardless of how you feel about the fan acting a fool and talking crazy. You can’t go into the stands. That could have ended badly. It literally could have been the Malace in the Palace all over again.
Bruh…and Isaiah Thomas is 5’9″ 185 lbs!! So even though he’s a professional athlete that could beat the breaks off of everybody in that section because he’s in better shape that anyone at the game. He’s not intimidating ANYBODY initially. So cats could have easily taken him lightly and swung on him before he swung on them. They don’t know what he’s about to do. So where I’m from you hit him first.
That could have been bad. The fans in Detroit were dead wrong but they weren’t about to let a boy run up in the stands and beat the brakes off of one of their fellow fans. Some cats are just looking for a reason to get down any way. You never know what you’re dealing with especially when a dun has that snake oil in him.
So as a result of I.T. trying to be Mr. Tough Guy he’s going to get a multiple game suspension because of how bad it “could” have gone. You can’t just say that I was going up there to talk to him because nobody up there knew exactly what he was going to do. I know that the homies from where I’m from would have fired on him coming up the stairs and it would have been a riot.
As soon as Isaiah gets hit his teammates have to run up there to get him out of the foolishness and now they’ve got to defend themselves just to get out of the joint like the Pacers did. So in essence by simply walking into the stands he put everybody on the team in jeopardy.
That’s like walking into the club in enemy territory talking crazy to boyz you don’t know. If they jump on your boy you’ve got to fight your way out. So you just keep your mouth closed bruh.
Yes, I know that these fans are out of control but you can’t step off into the stands bruh. You just can’t do it because he could have started a riot and that’s the last thing the league wants or needs.
Tell security that the dun is talking crazy, have him removed and keep it pushin’. We don’t need the players being security too. Stop me when I start lyin’!
