The Next Fan To Push Kyle Lowry Is Going To Get Knocked The Fuck Out

Is it possible that maybe Kyle Lowry is overreacting here? Maybe, I mean the dude did clearly shove him like he was offended that Lowry dove into him while sitting courtside. I'm willing to concede that I don't really know what the ediquette is when you're sitting on the wood, Dave has never thought to take me which is perfectly fine but also kinda bullshit. That's another story for another blog though. I am a normal human with an operating brain so I do feel confident in saying that even if you think this is a small "push" and no big deal, you still can't do that shit as a fan. Mostly because the players can't do anything in response. I'll never understand how people can't seem to go to a basketball game and not act like dickheads. Just be normal, don't shove opposing players or be a dickhead for a free frosty, it's not that hard.

When you factor in what happened with Lowry in last year's Finals

you can understand his frustration. These aren't all that excessive but in my opinion shit that can't happen. I feel like the NBA should allow Lowry one opportunity to respond. Like if this happens to you multiple times you should be allowed to put that fan in their place. I know that's impossible but if fans are going to keep being dicks and the league isn't going to do anything it's only a matter of time before we have a Malice At The Palace 2.0. A player is going to snap and it very well may be Lowry. He doesn't exactly strike me as a guy you would want to mess with which is why I don't get why fans keep doing this to him. 

It's pretty clear that the potential threat of being banned for life from games or any of that shit isn't really preventing this stuff from happening, so I'm not sure what the answer is. Either let them handle it on the court or force them to lace em up in the next Rough N' Rowdy, but something has to change before this gets out of hand and is a big time black eye for the league (no pun intended but intended).

So please, if you're a stoolie reading this and you somehow have courtside seats to a game in with Lowry is playing, consider this a warning. You shove him even a little bit, he's probably going to knock you the fuck out.
