In the second half of the Warriors-Raptors game last night, Kyle Lowry dove into the front row in an attempt to save a ball from going out.
One of the fans he landed near gave him a shove. It turns out that fan was Golden State part-owner Mark Stevens.
Lebron James was furious over what went down and express those feelings on Instagram.
There’s absolutely no place in our BEAUTIFUL game for that AT ALL. There’s so many issues here. When you sit courtside you absolutely know what comes with being on the floor and if you don’t know it’s on the back on the ticket itself that states the guidelines. But he himself being a fan but more importantly PART-OWNER of the Warriors knew exactly what he was doing which was so uncalled for. He knew the rules more than just the average person sitting watching the game courtside so for that Something needs to be done ASAP! A swift action for his actions. Just think to yourself, what if @kyle_lowry7 would have reacted and put his hands back on him. You guys would be going CRAZY!! Calling for him to damn near be put in jail let alone being suspended for the rest of the Finals all because he was protected himself. I’ve been quite throughout the whole NBA playoffs watching every game (haven’t missed one) but after I saw what I saw last night, took time to let it manifest into my thinking 🧢 I couldn’t and wouldn’t be quiet on this! #ProtectThePlayers#PrivilegeAintWelcomeHere
Stevens was ejected from the game and the Warriors announced today he won't be allowed to attend any more Finals games.
Do you think that's punishment enough?
