Kyrie Irving Gets Hornets Fan Removed From Game For Heckling After Talking To Referee

by

Kyrie Irving got a Charlotte Hornets fan removed from the game for heckling after he talked to a referee during the Dallas Mavericks’ game on Sunday (March 26). Moreover, the incident occurred during the third quarter, as the Mavs lost to the Hornets 59 to 52 in Charlotte. While play stopped during the game, Irving pointed out a heckler sitting around courtside in the stands to a referee. Later, the ref let security know, and they promptly removed the heckling fan from the arena. Two days prior, Kyrie shaded Mavs fans for booing them after they lost on their home court on Friday.

“So what?” the former Brooklyn Net said after the game. “Just the way I feel about it. I’ve been in New York City, so I know what that’s like.Y ou obviously want to play well, but it’s only five people on the court that can play for the Dallas Mavericks. If the fans wanna change places, then hey, be my guest. Got years of work ahead to be great enough to be on this level. But our focus isn’t necessarily on the boos, it should be on the performance.

Kyrie Irving Gets Fan Removed After Talking To Referee

Despite his sentiments, their loss on Sunday brought their season record so far to 36 wins and 38 losses. Currently, they’re tied for tenth in the Western Conference, and on the brink of missing the playoffs. Since Irving joined the team, they’ve won three games and lost seven. Addressing the reception to the team’s performance, he attributed it to the team still finding their footing with each other.

“We’re still feeling each other out in a way of getting used to each other’s efforts and attitudes and temperament,” he stated. “And that’s a real thing. That’s a human thing. That’s a human element. Whether people believe it in basketball or not, there’s a very fine line between winning basketball games and everyone being on the same page and losing basketball games and things splintering and pointing fingers.” Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Kyrie Irving and other updates from the NBA world.

Bradley Beal Punished After Shoving Referee

by

Bradley Beal is one of the best players in the league. However, he is currently stuck on the Washington Wizards which is basketball purgatory. Although, Beal has maintained an attitude similar to that of Damian Lillard. He has a ton of confidence in his team, and he believes they have what it takes to someday win an NBA title. Overall, the Wizards probably won’t win anything anytime soon. In fact, they would be better off blowing it all up like the Utah Jazz or Oklahoma City Thunder. Regardless, Beal remains loyal.

This season, it is looking like the Wizards could end up missing the playoffs again. For now, they are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, which means they could be primed to make the play-in round. This isn’t a sure-fire way to get into the postseason, although it could be their way in. Either way, this is not what Beal was hoping for when he signed that Super Max deal with the team. In fact, things are going from bad to worse for Beal at this point.

Bradley Beal Hit With Fine

In the video clip above, you can see Beal shoving a ref after a collision near the side of the court. This happened during a game on Saturday, and since that time, the league has been reviewing the infraction. Of course, you can’t go out and put your hands on an official. Beal should know that by now, and for the most part, the league definitely agrees. Subsequently, the Washington Wizards star has been hit with a $25,000 fine, according to Clutch Points. It is a hefty fine for the average person, however, for someone like Beal, this is hardly anything.

At this point, the real story here is that he would push a referee with such gusto. While the officials can be bad in the way, you have to respect them at all times, no matter the situation. Either way, we’re sure Beal has learned from this situation and will not be doing that again. Let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
