Smith starts a sentence with those six words, fans know they’re about to be served a word salad that may, or may not, contain recalled lettuce. All truth so far since the Las Vegas Aces center and four-time WNBA MVP is wildly considered one of the best basketball players of her generation. After Cunningham was called for a foul after the play stopped, Wilson turned her attention to a fan.
It was clear that whatever the fan had said to Wilson, she didn’t take it lightly and had to be held back by teammates. I’ve never seen her really react like that, ever.” Wilson spoke candidly about the confrontation after the game. You don’t know me to step toward me and point at me.
I’m not for that [expletive] at all.” While the fan was removed following the altercation, he returned to his seat a little later, a Fever reporter mentioned. Because they said he didn’t do anything," Wilson added. The Athletic reported that the Fever issued a statement, saying that “security determined there was no violation of the Fan Code of Conduct, the fan was not removed from the arena.
We consider the matter closed.” While it was clear that Wilson was flustered, Smith went on to elaborate on why he believes her reaction wasn’t warranted. What do you mean he was walking toward you, approaching you?” Smith noted that after the play, the center can be seen walking toward the fan. She’s the one coming over here like that,” he said over footage of the heated exchange.
All eyes have also turned to the player involved in the play before the outburst: Cunningham. The controversial player has an entire Indiana fan base speaking on her behalf during Round 1 of the WNBA playoffs. Fans have been slamming officials for calling fouls on Cunningham, especially during the 102-85 Game 1 blowout of the Fever where a Flagrant-1 was issued to the Missouri product after she tried to block a mid-range shot from the Aces’ Chelsea Gray.
Indiana fans exploded online over the call. I just can’t take this league seriously,” another commented. Game 3 moves to the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas on Thursday.
