VIDEO: Celtics Fan Throws Beer at Spurs Bench and Gets Arrested Following Controversial Kemba Walker Ejection
By Michael Luciano
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker and coach Brad Stevens found themselves arguing with officials a missed call in their game against the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night, which led to Walker getting ejected. The goings-on of the game quickly became secondary, however, when Spurs guard Patty Mills was nearly hit with a beer that was thrown by an unruly fan in the crowd.
The most infamous melee in NBA history, The Malice at The Palace, was escalated when a fan threw beer near Ron Artest. At the very least, we can breathe easy knowing no one was hurt and no fights kicked off.
According to ESPN's Tim Bontemps, the staff at the TD Garden was able to identify the fan who threw the beer. He was subsequently arrested, and likely won't be allowed inside the building for quite some time.
Kudos to the Celtics for finding and arresting this guy as quickly as possible. Entitled, spoiled fans who think that paying for a ticket enables them to act as they please are pretty much the worst kind in the entire world. Justice, consider yourself served.
