Being a professional doesn't mean you are any more able to stand upto having shit thrown at you then a regular person. Professional = He's a good basketball player and that is it. Past that he's a regular guy and yes i can see myself or anyone going off on someone who does that crap. We all have our buttons and i think having something thrown at me would set me off. Especially when i was just sitting and minding my own business. And i think the fans should be prosecuted to the same degree the players are. Getting mobbed by a pack of stupid fans is unacceptable. No more booze as well people obviously can't control themselves.
