I'm sorry, does anyone think this is a tad bit overblown?

What Stevens, the fan and a minority owner, did was wrong. But there was absolutely NO harm done to Lowry what-so-ever

Stevens embarrassed himself, he was fined and suspended for a year, so be it and I have no problem with that even if I think it was harsh

But the coverage and Lowry's behavior is way overboard IMHO. People need to chill just a tad, including Stevens when sitting court-side

totally....the minority owner is getting what he deserves, but Lowry is coming off as a cry baby.

You flew into the seats, ok, now get your ass off. Fucking dude sits on that guy forever and takes his sweet as time moving, that is very intentional.

That women in the yellow got demolished. Surprised she didn’t hit him.

Theres no reason for what he did though. No point. Lowry had a reason to do what he did and he just made a hustle play. “Taking his sweet time.” I don’t know what that means, I didn’t see that at all and I watched the clip 20 times.

The incident is overblown maybe a little because of how harmless it looks, but it comes down to not touching any player with any malicious intent. You just don’t do that at sporting events. The guy proceeded to cuss him out after that push/gesture.

I guess Drake is the only Superfan left in this series

I'll explain then....it's when you have the ability to get your weight off another person faster but you choose not too.
Taking your sweet ass time.

We see it when NBA players go down on top of each other, the guy on top takes advantage of the other player by getting up real slow like...and that usually ends with the player on bottom shoving the guy on top to get off.

Lowry did it with a fan.

But bottom line we do agree on, dude should keep his hands off Lowry and keep his mouth shut.

The players control the game. Gotta make the players happy.

Do players buy the tickets? Might be wise to make the fans happy.

poor little baby nba players...they just can't get no respect

Agreed but you can also have Lebron (who has the biggest voice) tell the players "F this, we aint playing".

Imagine the Raptors refusing to play game 4 of the NBA finals if Stevens wasnt punished for this? Sounds silly and crazy, but could 100% happen

Completely blown out of proportion.

It is all about race.

Lowry is an asshole.

The Commissioner is a douche bag, are you kidding, one yr, $500K?

Now the biggest asshole of them all, LeBron, says "something has to be done!".

Who watches this crap anymore? Why support them?






(call him "investor", not "owner"... hilarious)

the guy was wrong but this is way over the top. the commissioner is just a pussy and gets pushed around by the players in the league. the fact that they are discussing removing the term "owner" is just stupid too.

i didn’t see that and I don’t think anyone saw that with Lowry besides you.

Was his weight on top of a fan? Yes he just jumped after a loose ball. Not sure what you want him to do. He just made a hustle play in the finals and maybe rested for maybe 1 second before this guy asks for a problem. I’ve watched the video 20+ times I don’t know what you are seeing. Maybe you are watching in slow motion?

You have very strange optics if that is truly what you think. That's the most absurd thing I've heard on this . What I see is a man that starts to get up, is off balance, and then gets shoved. Completely classless move and by a minority owner to boot. No, I am not going to make Lowry a villain on this. Sorry boys. My first thought is how much money did you guys lose on the game to come up with such a stretch? Is this some talk show BS that you're regurgitating? I don't know who wins this series but I think the Warriors are getting more than they bargained for and this minority owner is acting like a petulant child. It's a sporting event. Fans need to act like adults (I know there are a lot of children on this site that don't understand that...and not referring to you Willie). This is as sophomoric as it gets and none of this transpires if the fans stop acting like 5 year olds.

Lacob is a good owner and I was confident he'd do the right thing. When the story started to growing legs, The Warriors had Stevens as a minority owner to venture capitalist, then to investor. All within the course of the day. They cut him off from all team related activities and banned him from arena. It'll definitively hit his ego. That d'bag was ready to show off his court side seats at Chase next year to everyone he was gonna schmooze. Now he's stuck at Buffalo Wild Wings. Half a mil is still a hefty chunk.

This whole outcry & punishment is racially motivated. All of these talking heads saying he needs to be banned or even fined a higher percentage of his net worth are saying that because he is white. If that was a black owner, I guarantee you would not be hearing the same rhetoric.

Tim my friend, I bet Toronto, and Lowry's behavior was classless too

He was hardly touched, he wanted to be offended and blow the thing way out of proportion IMHO

I hate that type of bullshit, I just do

Shut up and play hard all the time, and respect your opponent

I hate all the showmanship and trash talking and complaining about every call that's so prevalent in today's game. I kinda miss the day players policed the game :)

I can't imagine being so thin skinned and having that reaction. Not defending Stevens at all.

I'm with you. What Stevens did was stupid, but pretending he's dangerous is just as stupid
