Court-storming fan arrested, second individual banned for life after NBA Finals selfie

It was all fun and games until Thursday.The fan who stormed the court during Game 1 of the NBA Finals was arrested after the incident and will be banned for life from all league arenas, an NBA spokesperson said in an update, per the Associated Press.The spokesperson added that a second individual will also receive a lifetime ban for his role in the situation.The fan ran onto the court shouting “Wemby, Wemby” during the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 105-95 Game 1 victory and seemed to be attempting to grab a selfie with Victor Wembanyama and Mitchell Robinson.However, security at Frost Bank Center quickly hopped on the situation and removed the fan from the court.It seemed the Spurs young star enjoyed the scene while Robinson looked confused.
