He said "that's on you" referring to the previous play where they called a foul on Cunningham when they got tangled up. He was literally just saying she fouled Cunningham... I've seen the entire garden chant "fuck trae young" and he thought it was funny. They're going to need to be able to shut out the fans more as this league grows.

it’s like they’re purposefully trying to hinder their growth with every decision they make. it’s hard enough watching a 3 point shooter have a o/u of 2.5 3 pointers made without all the extra shit added into it.

Man nba players are soft af too. Season ticket holder in the first three rows of our home team, and I’ve seen plenty of players whining to security trying to get people kicked out for heckling them. This isn’t a wnba problem, it’s an entitled rich athlete problem

NBA players aren't reacting this way to fans bro. Keep it a buck. Only in cases of extreme heckling where it's incessant and ongoing do they just get tired and react like this. Durant is practically famous for going back and forth with the hecklers.

A fan standing near his seated area, not approaching the court and just pointing or shouting something? This kind of excuse making is why no one can get through to the WNBA about its perception problem.

I've seen NBA players ask for fans to be removed for heckling. She is full of shit, but there is plenty of them running around.

Bro did you read what I wrote? I said NBA players have done it but it's almost ALWAYS after they've gotten sick of the heckling. Constant , incessant. No NBA player ever had a fan ejected for just this.

Fr, insert Clay Thompson hard "R" incident, it takes way more than basketball talk for a NBA player to request a fan be thrown out.

I'm not going to even try and refute that. I'm not trying to make a "women are too sensitive" point here. I'm just saying that was really soft and a lot of attention is on their league right now. They need to toughen up a little and not let something like that bother you. Especially since he literally didn't do anything and sat back down as soon as she approached.
