Former NBA player Matt Barnes started an altercation on the sideline while attending a high school basketball game featuring his son.

Over the weekend, Barnes sparked trouble at the Harvard-Westlake versus Crespi Carmelite H.S. game. Barnes watched his son play for Crespi, coached by Derek FisherBarnes reportedly got in an altercation after walking courtside to argue against the refs. His rage shifted toward Crespi's student announcer, whom Barnes approached menacingly.

People intervened to settle Barnes down and separate him from the broadcaster. Barnes allegedly heard the broadcaster telling him to "shut up."
quote:

The student targeted by Barnes, Jake Lancer, spoke to an independent reporter, relaying that Barnes threatened to ‘slap’ him. "[Barnes] said ‘what do you think you're looking at,' and I said ‘you’re screaming you’re a (p****)’ to the refs mid game while I'm trying to announce, don’t touch me’ and then he said ‘I’ll slap the s–t out of you.’"
Lancer added on X, "I want to make it very clear that I never told him to ‘shut up’ or anything close to that, he came up to me. All I wanted to do in the moment was get back to announcing the championship game."
quote:

Barnes responded to one woman's account of the scene on X. The 14-year NBA vet posted a vulgar response, placing the blame on the student announcer, Jake Lancer, for the scene.
quote:

"Shut ur a** up," Barnes posted, "I was talking to the ref not you or that kid that decided to say some slick sh*t. Don’t let that privileged HW sh*t go to your head. Idgaf who your son is." Barnes also went off on a Sacramento Bee reporter as he desperately attempted to defend his dignity. "You weak a**holes are always trying to tell one side of the story," Barnes told reporter Jason Anderson. He added, "You reach out after the fact. F**k you!"
I bet Becky with the good hair wouldn’t pull that with Kwame Brown kid. But he’s tough with a 16 year old white kid

Didn't Fisher bang his wife right after or in the middle of their divorce and they had some fight?

Former Los Angeles Lakers teammates Derek Fisher and Matt Barnes allegedly got into an altercation because of Fisher's relationship with Barnes' wife, Gloria Govan.

Although Barnes and Govan are in the process of divorcing, the New York Post's Ian Mohr reported Wednesday that Barnes was livid when he found out Fisher was with his estranged spouse at his former Los Angeles home. This led to a tiff Saturday as described by the Post:

Barnes acting like a piece of shite isn’t all that surprising when you consider the fact that he is a giant piece of shite.

HW is Harvard-Westlake

There is apparently audio of the Harvard Westlake student announcer and he says nothing inappropriate on the audio.

Clay Travis proudly told everyone on his show about getting booted by a little league ump b/c he got mad his 11 year old kid was called out for batter interference. He actually thought he was the good guy in the situation.

I'm gonna open the floor to this question and take suggestions.

Is there any reason the world wouldn't be a better place if Matt Barnes dropped dead?

A real man would knock his arse out or punk him into backing down a kid more than likely wouldn’t. Bullies pick on the ones they know they can until one day they frick around and find out

Dude, it's Matt Barnes.

Also, didn't Barnes and Derek Fisher get into a fight because Fisher was sleeping with Barnes' wife?
