Haslem to trash-talking fan: 'Don't be disrespectful'
Miami Heat big man Udonis Haslem got into it with a rowdy Pistons fan during Wednesday night's loss in Detroit, a standoff that ultimately led to the fan's ejection.
It wasn't the first instance of a spectator getting tossed for inappropriate behavior this season. You might recall an over-expressive 76ers fan being removed from Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center after a confrontation with Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook during the season opener.
Now in his 14th NBA season, Haslem's been around the block, and he's surely heard plenty of heckling over the course of his career. But there's a line he expects fans should know not to cross.
"You can cheer for whichever team you want," Haslem told reporters after the game, according to Andre Vergara of FOX Sports. "But don't be disrespectful."
