He received multiple warnings. Sounds like this guy didn't have a leg to stand on!
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.![]()
If I was known as a "Nets Super Fan," I'd probably have committed suicide by cop right then and there tbh.
"I want a refund! I paid an arm and a leg for this ticket!"
Came in here to ask this and ma nig beat me to it. Well done.

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?

Makes me wonder where xmas' obit is...
^As long as you voluntarily disqualify yourself, Splits the gene pool just improved.
The real question is...who the 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.
On a more serious note, RIP.
I'd sue the out of the MSG Arena if I was related to the dude. Theres money to be picked there.
different guys
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.
well then, carry on
Damn, if this is how Nets fan handles losing all their picks I'm worried for cubby and that one Laker fan who posts here.
^"We" have to handle our . Your 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.
Mother ers.
^I'm a trend setter.
I set trends.
