סדרת גמר ה-NBA עונה עד כה על כל הציפיות. מתח שיא, ניצחונות חוץ, יריבות בין שחקני הווריירס לדרייק ו-1:2 סופר מפתיע לטורונטו, שניצחה לפנות בוקר (בין רביעי לחמישי) באורקל ארנה.
אך למרות כל אלה, תקרית אחת העיבה על האווירה, כאשר קייל לאורי זינק במהלך המשחק לעבר הקהל כדי להציל את הכדור ונדחף בדרך חזרה לפרקט. כעת, מתברר כי "האוהד" שדחף את לאורי הוא אחד מבעלי גולדן סטייט, מארק סטיבנס.
לאור התקרית, המועדון הוציא הודעה, גינה את האירוע והודיע כי סטיבנס לא יגיע למשחקים נוספים העונה: "התנהגותו של מר סטיבנס לא מעידה על הסטנדרטים הגבוהים שאנחנו מציגים בארגון. אנחנו מאוכזבים מאוד מהמעשה ומתנצלים בפני קייל לאורי וטורונטו על המקרה. אין מקום לתקרית כזאת בין אוהדים או כל אחד לבין שחקנים ב-NBA. מר סטיבנס לא יגיע למשחק נוסף במהלך הגמר".

View this post on Instagram 🗣There’s absolutely no place in our BEAUTIFUL game for that AT ALL. There’s so many issues here. When you sit courtside you absolutely know what comes with being on the floor and if you don’t know it’s on the back on the ticket itself that states the guidelines. But he himself being a fan but more importantly PART-OWNER of the Warriors knew exactly what he was doing which was so uncalled for. He knew the rules more than just the average person sitting watching the game courtside so for that Something needs to be done ASAP! A swift action for his actions. Just think to yourself, what if @kyle_lowry7 would have reacted and put his hands back on him. You guys would be going CRAZY!! Calling for him to damn near be put in jail let alone being suspended for the rest of the Finals all because he was protected himself. I’ve been quite throughout the whole NBA playoffs watching every game (haven’t missed one) but after I saw what I saw last night, took time to let it manifest into my thinking 🧢 I couldn’t and wouldn’t be quiet on this! #ProtectThePlayers #PrivilegeAintWelcomeHere A post shared by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Jun 6, 2019 at 9:42am PDT
