Michael Beasley Pushes Fan at New York Game

Thursday night during a basketball game at the Dyckman Tournament in Washington Heights a heckling fan was more than Minnesota Timberwolves guard Michael Beasley could handle. After arguing during a game Beasley pushed a fan in the face with an open hand. Beasley had to be restrained by security and the game was delayed for 10 minutes.

The fans and Beasley started talking early in the second half of the game. After pushing the fan Beasley approached him for a hand shake but the discussion quickly escalated again. His coach for the game, KaBourn Crosley, said that "He was a little wild, I couldn't stop him."

Beasley was playing for Team 914 against Kevin Durant's Team Nike. Though Beasley had only 17 points to Durants 29 his team still won 80-77.
