The GSW Fan Who Shoved Lowry is a Part Owner

[kmacinthepost]

Just realized that this now means he's banned for the teams debut season in their new arena. Still deserved way more but I bet he definitely gonna feel **** missing out on that

No, he's going to feel like a man for defending a helpless woman who had just been tackled by a professional athlete with no apology or consideration.

Mark Stevens did absolutely nothing wrong. In fact, he did the right thing. In Mark Stevens' situation, I would feel neither proud nor ashamed. I would feel like I had simply done what was right.

The reporter that asked Kyle the first question in the presser sounded like she was asking a question at a funeral I understand he got shoved but she was talking as if she felt personally responsible for it lol

We gotta end this on Monday.

Banned for one year and fined half a million by the NBA per Shams

Are you blind? Fans with courtside seats are told that players diving for loose balls can happen. There have been much worse incidents where players accidently crashed into spectators diving for loose balls including injuries. In this case, he did not "ram" into that asian lady - in fact - she wasn't unaffected by it at all as she actually helped absorb the contact and also Kyle's dive stopped right before it could have impacted her physically. And he didn't "ram" anyone else. The other guy grabbed him to help absorb his dive so he doesn't get hurt or hurt anyone else. It's part of the game. You are really so deep in the minority here. Why aren't the other people in the play doing anything about it?

In fact if you did your homework and watched the aftermath of the incident you will see the asian lady was totally fine and just explaining to her neighbour what had happened.

Of course it can happen. It has happened multiple times. Lebron James seriously injured a woman at courtside. IIRC, he checked on her status immediately. This was the very least Lowry could have done. Lowry TACKLED A WOMAN. This is WRONG, period.

If there is a woman or a child between me and a basketball, I'm not going to run full speed into a woman or the child. This is just common sense that any normal man would follow.

I've just watched another angle of it and that women wasn't even touched! She just leaped back from her seat. The new Sportsnet angle shows it every obviously that he didnt even touch her so what are you so angry about. Again, there's been much worse incidents where there was actual contact.

The bald guy absorbs most of the hit, wrapping his arms around Lowry. Nonetheless, Lowry is moving at such speed, he still rams straight into the dark haired middle aged woman in the SECOND ROW and sends her flying back several feet. She would have landed on the floor at high speed were it not for the chairs absorbing the force. Even then, the entire ROW of chairs several chairs down is shoved backwards.

He didn't even touch her, crazy. Players can do no wrong. This is just straight up delusion.

Someone already updated his Wiki to include the Lowry incident. Have to love the pit bull mentality of Lowry. Whether an opponent has a foot of height on him or 2 billion more in the bank Lowry will not back down.

I love the sense of honor that Mark Stevens had. He defended a helpless woman who had just been recklessly assaulted, even though the guilty player was a professional athlete several decades younger. He remained seated and calm: the shove was just a gentleman's reminder of tradition of centuries past when men could not randomly assault women without severe penalty.

edit: Lowry plowed through TWO women at full force! He landed directly on top of the first woman in the front row, and then still rams through the second woman in the second row. This is incredibly reckless behavior on the player's part. At the very least he can check on the status of the players he ran into at full speed. Instead, the owner defending the women is the bad guy?!? WTF!!!

Did you see how scared he was when Lowry was looking at him?

He shat his pants, true story.

I might too, if confronted by a pro athlete several decades younger. Nonetheless he had enough of a sense of honor to at least TRY to defend two helpless women that he plowed through at top speed.

Now, the NBA is trying to ruin his life all because he is old fashioned enough to defend helpless women.

Next hot take: a little girl assaulted Charles barkley by reaching into his mouth and squeezing phlegm from his tongue and rubbed it all over her face.

[kmacinthepost]

Wtf, you don't touch a player ever. The fact that this guy is a minority owner makes this even worse.

Just to play devil's advocate, say it was a small child that Lowry had landed on and due to being tangled up in the chairs/fans he couldn't immediately get up. I don't know about you but if I'm sitting next to that and there's a screaming child being crushed I'd hurcules heave Lowry off of him/her. In this case, it was a man he landed on who didn't get hurt and wound up helping Lowry back up, and so the owner shouldn't have done anything. He was in the wrong but people are suggesting permanent bans and being pressured to sell his shares. That feels like a huge overreaction to me.

Haven't you heard, you relinquish all rights if you get injured at an NBA event, so it would be the Kid's fault

Guys please ignore kmacinthepost. Here's just a poster with only a few posts all related to this topic so it looks like he's created this account for the purpose of trolling people on a sensitive topic and has derailed the thread.

I put him on ignore and ask mods to ban him. It certainly has crossed the line with some of his comments

OK, so just ban anyone with a different point of view.

Why not just respond to the substance of my posts? What is wrong with having a civil debate with MULTIPLE POINT OF VIEW? Censorship at it's finest. Anyone who disagrees is a "troll."

Have you ever played sports in your life lmao, do you think as Lowry is blitzing full speed towards the sideline eyes on the ball he can assess who's in the crowd in front of him, realize it's a woman and then slam on the brakes and stop?

And, had the man not shoved Lowry and told him off numerous times I would assume Kyle would have checked up on the woman as most players do after barelling into the sidelines.

Haven't heard a single person in the media, nba, golden state or elswehre defend this guys actions. Both woman that were "assaulted" also watched the remained of the game without even needing a checkup so must not have been that serious.

This guy needs to be officially suspended by the league. The Warriors' announcement that he will not attend is not enough.

This isn't about a harmless push to get Lowry off the person caught underneath. For one, Lowry said the guy was cursing him out too. Plus if you're going to pay those big bucks to sit in those seats, you accept the risk that players might fall into you going after loose balls, so the hero argument doesn't apply.

More importantly, what if his push caused Lowry to tweak something and get injured. At the time of the push, Lowry was not yet standing upright. He was in an awkward position and could have easily been vulnerable to injury if a leg wasn't planted properly.
Also, with the adrenaline of a high stakes competition, what if Lowry instinctively reacted physically to the push? If he pushed back or swung at that idiot? Now Lowry would potentially face league discipline because of the actions of some rich a$$hole. If other players and/or fans get caught up in the scuffle, you have the possibility of a very embarrassing situation that could alter the results of your showcase games, the league finals.

The league has to suspend him and fine him and the Warriors organization for this. As part of the organization, he needs to be held to a higher standard than even a non-affiliated fan would be.

Lowry shoulder rammed TWO HELPLESS WOMEN AT FULL SPEED.

Yes, I played high school basketball. The end lines had no spectators. The gym had walls on both ends about ten feet from the end lines. Enough room to walk past, but not enough room for spectators. The right sideline had the players and coaches benches on the ends and scorekeepers desk in the middle.

The left sidelines had our cheerleaders and the first row of stands (floor level) were about five feet behind the sidelines. I never once saw an incident where a player had to dive into the stands or over the the scorekeepers desk. The distance from the sidelines to the first row was of sufficient distance to prevent this from happening. What's your point?

It was accidental, stuff like that is a risk in an NBA game when you're sitting courtside. She wasn't "assaulted."

[jrask]

I seriously doubt he was standing up for the woman (or himself)

Try this test:
Would he have pushed a warrior to stand up for the woman? No

He pushed Kyle because he doesn’t like Kyle/Raptors

So the whole point of this exercise is to repeat some stock mantra about players can never do anything wrong and anyone who disagrees is immediately and summarily banned. Got it.

What apology or consideration is she owed? She was in his way (and the back of her ticket literally says to not be surprised by this happening) and he's doing his job.

Clearly, he was not standing up for himself. I never made any such claim. Would he have pushed a warriors player? I doubt it.

But recall that Steph was punched in the face when he jumped into the crowd also:

I guess those warriors fans hate Steph.

The reality is, when you run and jump into ANY group of people at top speed, there is a distinct possibility that you will anger someone and retaliation is a distinct possibility.
