76ers ban fan who tossed popcorn at Russell Westbrook

A Philadelphia 76ers fan is learning the hard way that you can't taunt players in an excessive way. Or, you should never throw food at them? Well, if you needed a reminder of that, the 76ers just provided it.

That's because the Eastern Conference powerhouse has banned a fan from home games effective immediately after he threw popcorn at Russell Westbrook.

The incident came on Wednesday night in Philly's win over Washington, giving them a 2-0 series lead. The fan indeed tossed popcorn at Westbrook, which went viral on social media. Now, that fan can't go to 76ers games or attend any events at the Wells Fargo Center. Lesson learned.
