K.J. McDaniels’ mom is apparently one of those people that you never want to sit near at a basketball game, or any sporting event for that matter.
The Philadelphia 76ers took on the Orlando Magic Sunday, and the mother of rookie K.J. McDaniels, who has been lighting it up so far in his first season, happened to be in attendance. What also happened to take place on Sunday is McDaniels’ mom stealing the entire show.
It seems as if McDaniels’ mom just can’t let go of being one of those obnoxious little league parents that cause a stir while watching their child play, although the sequence of events was pretty funny.
Thankfully for us, ESPNU’s Jordan Eichenblatt just happened to be in attendance at the game and caught everything.

76ers yelling family member update. She is now yelling. "DONT YOU DARE PASS THAT BALL. DONT PASS THE BALL."

Well, pass it or no?
It's KJ McDaniels mom. Her trying to coach the team from 11 rows up is better than the actual game. @Michael_Levin

She's showing him her ticket. She's yelling THATS MY SON THATS MY SON. A 76ers rep from bench walking up to help now.

OK, now is this really necessary?
Situation all cleared up. She is now booing the guy shooting a half court shot for a $50 gift card.

I yell “PLAY BETTER” at sporting events, and I never get better seats.
