Here's what went down on Friday night in Oklahoma City. Beverley was fouled and went into the stands. The fan - Stuart Scaramucci, the son of Thunder minority owner Jay Scaramucci. - leaned over while Beverley was on the ground and repeatedly yelled "F--- you, Patrick Beverley" before he could get up.
Beverley tried pointing Scaramucci out to officials at the time and they did nothing. When the game ended, Beverley said he walked over and said a few words to Scaramucci before heading to the locker room.
"I addressed him and said 'at the end of the day, this is a basketball game. I'm a grown man, you're a grown man. Now keep it professional. There's no need for the blatant disrespect,'" Beverley said. "And that's all."
Beverley went on to say that he accepts the fine, but he does think the NBA needs to step up and protect its players. If the league won't, he said, he will continue to look out for himself.
I don't see why he was fined here... if this is all that it was.
Just because you pay for a ticket, does not mean that you get to do whatever you want to the players.
Players curse out fans as well.
When LBJ did the chase down block yesterday and ran up into the stands, on the way back down, someone slapped him on the shoulder.
Not a big Beverly fan, but 100% agreed with his statement of protecting himself and not letting the fan(apparently owners son) rudely step all over him and violate him as a man. NBA really needs to look at and take these sort of incidents seriously have the backs of their players.
Seems a little high for two seconds of interaction.
He would probably be better off cursing a Thunder player taking the ball out of bounds in front of him.
Drop in the bucket, just ask mark Cuban lol
Yes he would have been better cussing players, refs are untouchable
