The beef between the Golden State Warriors star Chris Paul and controversial referee Scott Foster has been catching steam for some time now. During the match against the Phoenix Suns, Paul got a first-half ejection. His coach and teammates criticized the decision, but Paul had gone on to accuse Foster of settling personal scores with him.
After NBA commissioner Adam Silver tried to balance the things between the two, others have openly tried to call out the referee. Many took the issue head-on, calling for an end to the corrupt refereeing. Former Pistons legend Rasheed Wallace too had strong words for Foster.

Appearing in Gil’s Arena show along with Gilbert Arena, Wallace was asked if Foster should be allowed to officiate the matches any further. Wallace showed his disagreement over the same.

Wallace said, “I don’t think he should because that’s bad for this business, number 1. But number 2, I didn’t hear until the other day through some friends the reason why that beef is a beef and I gotta say for that I’m on the side of Chris Paul. I will beat your m*therf*cking a*s. Because now you’re taking it beyond basketball. “
While some analysts believe that Golden State Warriors tend to lose the games that Scott Foster officiates, NBA commissioner Adam Silver tried to douse the fire.
