Yeah, it does look like the fan threw something also.

And Vernon Maxwell did indeed also run up in the stands behind his bench a decade or so later to nail a fan. Hey Dime, can you locate that clip? Loved Vernon.

Finally, I also doubt any guy would even be too thrilled with the nickname Cornbread these days (which Cedric had when he played at Univ. of Charlotte, I believe), and even later in his career, you heard less of that nickname.

exactly, someone probably said the wrong ish to Max. back in the 80s that’s definitely possible.

I remember Vernon Maxwell did the same thing in the early 90s too.

It helps the cause that back then you had only cable TV and newspapers. With HUGE TV content and the internet, it’s a different world nowadays for everyone in the public eye.

I guess the lesson is just make sure you don’t start a riot and you’re good…

That dude in the plaid sportcoat dropped an “n-bomb”. Also, today’s coverage of these events is magnified by those who cover’s closet racism (you know ESPN isn’t much different than the dude in the plaid sportcoat, they just don’t say so).
