No. 3 — Lillard Confronts Fans
After a December loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lillard was heading to the team bus when, according to ESPN’s Chris Haynes, “two fans shouted anti-gay slurs” at Lillard. The Blazers All-Star responded, and the confrontation was captured in a video that quickly went viral.
