Wow mono sighting. :wow

UPDATE: A fan named Max was sitting behind Gamblero. Here’s his first-hand account of the situation (all typos/errors are [sic]):

(Gamblero) was being his usual self, absolutely no cursing, no negative cheering, just dancing and loud cheering for the Nets. Never attacked a Knicks fan, never got out of hand.

After halftime a guard came up and told him to “cool down and just be a fan.” Obviously didn’t know who he was. He said what did I do wrong? Should I be quiet? They said no, just cool it down. He started loudly cheering FOR the Knicks doing “go New York go New York go,” etc. The guards came back and told him to stop. He said why? Is this a library?

Then the main guard on the floor gave the signal to kick him out. He would not leave. A guard then touched his leg and he said “ouch you’re hurting me I have a prosthetic leg.” He then took off the leg, which is when things escalated.

More and more guards surrounded him as he watched the game with his leg resting on his shoulder. They tried to get him to put his leg on, threatened to arrest him if he wouldn’t, but he wasn’t moving.

He started saying “why are you doing this I just love basketball so much,” he was clearly overwhelmed.

After about ten minutes, four guards grabbed him and carried him out as he screamed in pain.

I am a lifelong Nets fan but regardless, this was one of the cruelest and most upsetting things I have ever seen.

:lmao

If I was known as a "Nets Super Fan," I'd probably have committed suicide by cop right then and there tbh.

With no regard to human life :depressed

Don't blame me, blame Billy King tbh.

Wait a minute. Am I reading this correctly? Two weeks ago a man with one leg was given a permaban from Nets games and, because of that, he offed himself?

The real question is...who the hell commits suicide by jumping out of a second story window? I'm amazed he actually died and didn't just end up paralyzed or shove his ankle bones through his knees.

That article reads like an onion piece. :lol

On a more serious note, RIP.

I'd sue the shit out of the MSG Arena if I was related to the dude. Theres money to be picked there.

No, actually it's the same guy. From the article:

Vanchiro, who was recently in the news after security removed him from Madison Square Garden without his prosthetic leg, sustained severe brain damage and a fractured spinal cord as a result of the fall, according to his fiancée, Kristi Evans.

Damn, if this is how Nets fan handles losing all their picks I'm worried for cubby and that one wetback Laker fan who posts here.

^"We" have to handle our shit. Your shit just gets put out on the curb & is "picked up in the dark" where nobody can see, like the Bexar County judge makin' a house call to casa Duncan.

Motherfuckers.

"Evans, in an interview earlier Sunday at the hospital, said she believed the Dec. 2 incident during a Nets-Knicks game at MSG changed Vanchiro for the worse."After that, he was a completely different person," an emotional Evans said. "He was paranoid. He was erratic. He was frightened. He was horrified. He was a bit delusional. And he was having a lot of trouble sleeping. He couldn't sleep at all. When he would sleep or try to sleep, it would only take about 10 to 15 minutes before he would wake up screaming, covered in sweat.""
