Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather was sitting courtside at the NBA game of Portland Trailblazers and Miami Heat on 19th January. Bam Adebayo and the Heat won 104-92 in a close game against the Trailblazers. Markedly, Floyd was seen heckling the Heat players with his hysterical remarks.
Floyd Mayweather, known for his notoriously flamboyant lifestyle, can be seen talking trash to multiple players in the clip. Specifically, while Max Struss is making a pass from the sideline, Mayweather tells him that he shoots like him. Further, a second later, he taunts Bam Adebayo by commenting on his jump shots.

Floyd Mayweather is notably a big NBA fan and has even played in multiple celebrity games with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Quavo, Bone Collector, and more. In fact, in 2016, he also expressed his desire to buy an NBA team. He stated that he was taking a step back from betting to pursue his dreams of owning a team.
When asked which team he has his eyes set on, he stated that he does not have a team in mind in particular. Clearly he has not taken any further steps in that direction, but that does not stop him from making regular appearances at NBA games.

NBA players are tough and know how to deal with hecklers, Heat proved this by winning the game despite getting taunted by Mayweather constantly. After winning against the Trailblazers on Wednesday, they lost today against the Hawks. In spite of losing tonight’s game, the Heat are currently holding a win-loss record of 29-17. As a result, they are still 3rd in the Eastern Conference just behind the Nets and Bulls.
