Now, a former NBA star has expressed his displeasure after a new video of a Kings fan emerged.

NBA veteran not impressed with E-40’s ejection

However, the emotions of many in the hoops community seem to be heating up. A video clip of a Kings fan ringing a cowbell behind Warriors GM and President of Basketball Operations Bob Myers emerged on social media. It was reported the fan did it for the whole night during game-2.

NBA veteran turned internet personality Rex Chapman did not find it amusing. The former Charlotte Hornets player compared it to the incident from game-1 when rapper E-40 was thrown out.

According to a report from NBA, he stated, “Unfortunately, it was yet another reminder that despite my success and accolades as a musician and entrepreneur racial bias remains prevalent. Security saw a disagreement between a Black man and a White woman and immediately assumed that I was at fault.”

He also asked the franchise to investigate the situation. The Kings later released a statement that they are investigating the whole ordeal.
