Warning: Story contains coarse language

A fan seated courtside was removed from Game 4 of the NBA Finals Friday after getting into a verbal joust with Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia. Asked after the Cavs' 137-116 win about the incident, Dubs reserve forward David West shared some candid thoughts about the individual.

"I thought he was jaw-jacking with Zaza and it was fake, man," West told ESPN's Chris Haynes. "That little motherfucker ain't (going to) do nothing in real life."

The man was later identified as Todd Leebow, a friend of LeBron James' agent, Rich Paul. One thing he reportedly has done in life was have James attend his wedding.

The incident with Pachulia began after the Georgian big man took a shot at Iman Shumpert's groin. Both received double technicals after some words.
