He should've asked Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins did the boldest thing with fans I've ever seen an athlete do.

Hard to tell which side to be on-- the ones throwing food or the one basically sexually assaulting a spectator.

He wasn’t treated fairly in the nba. He didn’t act up half as much as Draymond and was punished 10 x more.

Why pick sides. Wrong to behave like he did. Wrong to throw drinks at people. Not hard.

He should have retired long time ago. He was done after that ACL injury before his Lakers season. He was the best center in the league before he tore his Achilles.

It was always so easy to get in his head. A few choice words and he's squaring up some random dude and shaking his junk in his face.

That said, I'll never understand people who go to games and just bash on players. Sometimes I think they wouldn't do it anymore if players were allowed to strike back.

Cousins was an underrated clutch player in helping 2019 Raptors win the title. So will always appreciate his contributions.

That is because US sports protect their players. If this was the NBA, security would have permanently banned several fans.
