It's disgusting entitled behavior
People think buying a ticket gives em the right for verbal & physical abuse towards the athletes
. Something needs to be done about this. I believe it'll happen sooner rather than later because a lot of incidents with fans being hostile have been piling up in the past 3-4 NBA seasons.
NBPA & athletes want some sort of barrier to be put up(rightfully so). It's like in MLB, it took that ONE event where a fan almost lost an eye from a fly ball & then the team(forget which one since I'm not into baseball at all) put up safety nets to block that from happening & few other ball clubs followed suit but not all.
