Book needs to be careful.
I know this dude was sucker punched (or attempted to be), but you don't want people to think they might be rewarded because they got into a fight at a game with an opposing team fan.

I support what the guy did. He talked trash, whatever. I've been to enough Yankee/Redsox games at the Stadium to know what trash talking is. I've seen worse than that be simply laughed off. The Suns dude didn't initiate the fight though. So I'm OK with him beating the other guy up. It's self defense and adrenaline at that point.

The concern I have is, people will see this and might think, 'whoa, if Booker wants to reward a guy for beating up an opposing fan, and I might have a chance to meet him, I need to get me in a fight and make it look cool'.

Different view of it. It does show that he really was sucker punched. Not that we didn't already know.

Yeah, not a good look. That guy should not be a good example. I wouldn't be surprised if he deleted that tweet.

The nuggets mascot rocky should be blamed as well. He watched the fight escalate and did absolutely nothing in breaking it up. I wouldn't be surprise if he was fired and living on the streets in the offseason.

Yeah, not sure why Book is engaging. He should be a bit more careful.

Book probably just wanted his info to tell him he doesn't tolerate that kind of behavior from a fan.

No court in the land is bringing charges against suns fan with so much video evidence of self defense. If anything, Utah fan would be the one to face legal action, but court washes its hands of this incident all day.

Bowl cut already got his day in the court. It was in G3 and the judge/jury/executioner was the Suns in 4 guy. He was found guilty and sentenced to a messed up nose and national embarrassment
