Trump card. A Thunder fan just behind the scorer’s table took aim Saturday night at Patrick Beverley, a favorite target of the crowd here, but lobbed a different sort of taunt his way.

“Hey Pat!” the fan shouted. “Do you love Trump?”

He didn’t stop with the presidential derision. He shouted to Beverley at one point, “I know you voted for him!” in reference to Donald Trump. The next time Beverley was in earshot, the fan yelled to him “He’s trying to take away the Affordable Care Act!”


Love it that it's become an insult


an oklahoma heckler shouting this at beverly is... interesting, i guess.

for me, heckling starts crossing the line once you get into race, politics, etc. besides, so what if he voted for trump? what's the implication supposed to be, exactly?

I think the implication is that if he loves Trump he is de facto lame. Like saying 'Beverly listens to Nickel back' or something.

I think its a solid heckle, especially the part about the ACA. The best heckles are always the ones that make the guy stop for a sec. and be like, 'da fuq did he just say to me?' Rather than the usual, 'you suck' 'F you' 'F your momma' garbage.

But you're perfectly fine implying guys have mental illness issues? What an arbitrary line.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

as a self-diagnosed sufferer of several mental illnesses, i think i have the authority to do this. also, there's a difference between saying something on the internet and screaming it at a guy while they are trying to earn a living.
