Last weekend, in the middle of Game 4 between the Phoenix Suns and the Dallas Mavericks, there was an incident involving Phoenix star, Chris Paul, and two fans. The fans were ultimately ejected from the arena.
It was reported that the fan approached Paul's family and left them feeling "very unsafe by attempting to give them unwanted hugs." A video of Paul yelling at the fan went viral.
Paul shared his frustration on Twitter - “Wanna fine players for saying stuff to the fans but the fans can put their hands on our families…. f*** that!!”
That game was also the scene of a controversial foul out for Paul. He picked up his fourth foul at the end of the second quarter and ended up fouling out early in the fourth quarter with Dallas up by eight points.
The play in question was suspect. Seems like Paul had a crazy night. What do you think?
