Chris Paul Fuming Over Dallas Fans: "F**k That!!"
It's one thing for fans to heckle and boo NBA players, but the line is certainly drawn when it involves their family, and when it involves "hands on" incidents.
Chris Paul more than drew the line when a fan at American Airlines Center in Dallas harrassed his mother and wife, and even "put their hands on" his mother, and his wife was allegedly pushed.
Chris Paul yells "I'LL SEE YOU LATER!" at a young fan that allegedly got physical with Paul's wife & mother during GM4.
