If you’ve ever thought of shoving a player during a basketball game, watch this video and reconsider life.
When it comes to sports, there is a fine line between helping a player out when he comes into the crowd and being someone who thinks they’re clever but ends up being nothing more than a dope.

The latter applies to one lame Miami Hurricanes fan and his supposed slap on the back of North Carolina State player Cat Barber. As the story goes, Barber came flying towards the crowd on a play and fell to the hardwood, but upon getting up he was slapped in the back by a fan — a Miami Hurricanes fan, no less.
The whole incident was captured by cameras as the Miami fan shoves Cat Barber and then immediately regrets ever being born.
That’s a classic situation of a guy picking on someone he thinks is smaller than him, only to have the person he’s bullying stand up and reveal himself to be a near 7-foot beast. That’s the case here, as Barber is not someone you want to mess with, especially if you’re a pasty white kid who doesn’t look like he’d hold up long in a fight with Barber.
You have to wonder what moronic thought that was traveling along with the lone brain cell in this fan’s mind from the time he decided to slap Cat on the back to the point in time where he realized what he had done. This kid is obviously young, as he clearly doesn’t remember the Malice at the Palace from 2004 and the mess that created.
So let this be a lesson to all you fans sitting courtside — if a player comes at you, do everything except slap them on the back and give them a shove especially if they’re not playing for your team.
