A perfect example was on display during the Mavericks' recent game against the Sacramento Kings, where the organization ejected one fan who apparently chanted 'Fire Nico' chant. The incident took place when the Mavs were shooting free throws during a crucial moment of the game.

Enough fans were ejected that it warranted an article on ESPN where Tim MacMahon confirmed that two fans were thrown out after minority owner Mark Cuban yelled at them to "Shut the f--- up and sit the f--- down!" One of the fans involved was wearing a t-shirt featuring owner Miram Adelson wearing a clown nose. He confirmed the story on X.

Dallas Mavericks fans have directed their ire at general manager Nico Harrison since the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. A pair of fans who were recently thrown out of a game for chanting "Fire Nico" got free courtside seats from minority owner Mark Cuban.

In a conversation with Bill Gates at the Eisemann Center in Richardson on Friday night, Cuban was blunt in his first public response about the trade that sent the international superstar he drafted to Los Angeles. "I've had a rough week," Cuban told Gates to begin the event per Sarah Hepola of The Dallas Morning News.

Even more than a week after the Dallas Mavericks stunned the NBA world and traded Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, many fans are still stunned that the team would trade the 25-year-old star. Even Klay Thompson — the team’s starting shooting guard — understood why fans were so upset.
