And the more they yelled obscenities and gestured at Williams, the number of teammates standing up grew. Forward Art Long, who is with the team but on the injured list, sat in the row behind the bench. Long said the fans went over the line. They are making gestures at Jason that implied he was doing different drugs and cursing at us. Forward Lawrence Funderburke, clearly one of the peaceful players in the league, felt the spray of a fan's saliva, so he called for a security guard.
People take it much too seriously.
One of the fans was yelling, and I felt it on my back, so I told a security guard. I wasn't taunting them. I don't curse. I just cheer. Unlike many teams around the league, the Kings do not employ a security person to sit behind the bench and help separate the team from the fans.
