The Pelicans beat the Lakers 105-97 on Sunday night in LA. A fairly nondescript NBA game. But, the interaction between Pelicans big man DeMarcus Cousins and some fans courtside at Staples was interesting. Boogie was being heckled by a group of fans all game mostly around his weight.
As he was leaving the game, Boogie turns and tells the fan to “suck a dick bitch!”.
There is a line when it comes to heckling where it goes overboard. The general rule is that you don’t make it personal or talk about anyone’s family.
Calling a player fat wouldn’t be considered a low blow. Would they call Cousins who is 6’11” 240 lbs fat if they saw him walking in the mall, probably not. Does Cousins have the right to tell them a suck a dick for heckling him, that is another fine line. I am sure Adam Silver and the Pelicans would prefer he didn’t engage, but the fans should be able to take it, if they are willing to dish it out even though the whole point is to get Cousins to react, which he did.
Flip the pages to see the heckling and if you consider Boogie’s reaction fair or foul.
