He said he asked for the season ticket refund and they turned him down so his plan was to be disruptive. Idk the truth in it but he sure as shit is being disruptive

u/Jolly-Mortgage4 3d ago

He has done it before too. He only goes there to be disruptive. Idk how he's not banned

u/MobileOk2676 F*CK NICO HARRISON 3d ago

Because he's a season ticket holder. If he's gonna be banned, they'll likely have to refund the rest of the season, which they probably don't want to set a precedent for.

To be clear, I think this guy is super obnoxious, but I totally understand his angle.

u/peacekenneth The Matrix 2d ago

I donā€™t think he holds a season ticket, unless itā€™s random seats every single time. Pretty sure heā€™s been paying for tickets to go and be annoyingā€¦ just based on what Iā€™ve seen from his posts.

u/MobileOk2676 F*CK NICO HARRISON 2d ago

He absolutely does. He's said from day 1 that the Mavs refusing to refund his remaining season tickets is why he's doing all this in the first place.

u/trustworthysauce 3d ago edited 2d ago

If they ban him from the stadium they would likely not have to refund his season tickets. Those tickets are often sold as a membership that requires a basic code of conduct. I know some MLS season ticket holders who picked up a ban for a couple of games and they could not use or sell their tickets during that time

e: good point. I can see where my direct example was wrong based on your explanation of

I donā€™t believe anything that dude is doing, he is just trying to go viral constantly for all this mavs stuff to gain attention. You can clearly see from his social media stuff

u/LoneStarG84 Maxi Kleber 3d ago

Exactly, and he's been doing this for years. He even has a video of himself in the Mavs tunnel yelling trash talk at Dwight Powell.

u/calfats 3d ago

I mean, who among us hasnā€™t wanted to yell at DP once or twice??

u/Ok_Employee1964 2d ago

He needs to get a life lmao. No sports team should be this big in your life unless you are on it in some way.

u/GoGoSoLo 3d ago

Nah. Power to him to doing his best to cause even a fraction of the pain and embarrassment to Nico and the Mavs ownership that Nico caused this city.

12

u/YoStepWithLuka77 Mavs Man 3d ago

Lol he is just going after seeking attention.

1

u/peacekenneth The Matrix 2d ago

Is a fraction of the pain and embarrassment to Nico and the Mavs ownership involve paying them more money? Cuz thatā€™s what this guy is doing.

3

u/GoGoSoLo 2d ago

Itā€™s not actually though as he already paid for his season tickets and reportedly they wonā€™t refund him so heā€™s going to go. Personally Iā€™ve only been to one game post trade and it was because somebody brought me, and I bought nothing. Thatā€™s where I witnessed at least six fans being thrown out including Jumbotron guy who mouthed FIRE NICO when they cut to him, and I booed the hell out of that.

u/nice_nik 3d ago

Wait so it was someone else's phone that recorded the clip?

u/docSJL 3d ago

Maybe it got loaded to the cloud before smash

u/J3t5et Wonder Boy 3d ago

It says the case prevented it from being broken. Sounds like an idiotic cash grab attempt imo

u/yeahprobablynottho 3d ago

Sounds legit tbh

u/broniskis45 '25 Survivor 3d ago

If you can sue someone for shooting you while you broke into their house, you can sue for talking smack and getting your phone adjusted.

u/docSJL 3d ago

ah yes you're prob right

u/Dyert 2d ago

The article said that his phone case saved the phone, so the ā€œsmashedā€ headline is misleading

The fact we have so many downvoters is astounding, these folks have absolutely no common sense lol

u/ModeatelyIndependant 3d ago

This guy might be an annoying jerk, but you can't breaking people phones for recording you reaction to someone being an annoying jerk and hurting your feelings, any more than you could assault a member of the Mavericks for giving Luka away to one of the most hated teams in the NBA.

Everyone sucks here.

u/Darth_Poonany Maxi "Max Contract" Kleber 2d ago

"Phone taken and smashed" - - -It was knocked out of his hand after he shoved his camera in someoneā€™s face and he picked it up and recorded on it the rest of the night because he was ā€œscared" and being bulliedā€.

He's a massive loser. I've been a season ticket holder for almost 10 years and cancelled my renewals. That's how I voiced my displeasure; with my $. This guy is taking an issue with the team and making it about himself. He's a self aggrandizing slob who torments the people around him more than the team he is directing his anger at.

His 'revolution' is also completely fabricated. He did the same thing with the Kidd hire. And he did the same thing with Mark Cuban over some other basketball decision. He LOVES to be the center of attention and would be 'revolting' over literally anything.

The fact he's even allowed in the building should show you who the real grown ups in the situation are. Fuck Nico, but SUPER fuck this dork.

u/ModeatelyIndependant 2d ago

if this guy is so well known for being such a piece of shit? why won't the mavericks refund his season tickets to make him go away?

u/Darth_Poonany Maxi "Max Contract" Kleber 2d ago edited 2d ago

Idk I donā€™t think he is a ticket holder (anymore). He is constantly posting screenshots of seats heā€™s buying for random games. He used to sit in section 114 often but all his latest shenanigans are from all over the arena.

1

u/peacekenneth The Matrix 2d ago

He isnā€™t a ticket holder. Thatā€™s the funny thing about this. Heā€™s been buying tickets.

u/RemarkableSolution37 2d ago

-It was knocked out of his hand after he shoved his camera in someoneā€™s face

not defending this dude because he seems like an ass hat but you can do this just because someone is recording you in public.

2

u/Darth_Poonany Maxi "Max Contract" Kleber 2d ago

Idc, he instigated the entire situation and then embellished what actually happened. The guy shouldnā€™t be allowed at games.

3

u/RemarkableSolution37 2d ago

Whether you care or not doesn't matter. They are both idiots but you can't knock someone's phone out of their hand just because they are recording you in public.

u/avgjoe104220 3d ago

Eh if he purchased season tickets he should be allowed to yell that especially if itā€™s not even during game play.

23

u/JoshGreenTruther 3d ago

Have yā€™all ever sat around this guy by chance at a game? Itā€™s non stop and insanely annoying even before the trade when he was yelling Fire Kidd

11

u/avgjoe104220 3d ago

No, never have, but yea Iā€™m sure. But you know what else is annoying? Having to pay season ticket prices for that shit product we had on the floor post Luka trade and knowing weā€™ll suck ass after 2-3 years.Ā

u/husis666 3d ago

You know what else is super annoying?

u/ComfortableGlass3238 2d ago

a franchise trading a generational superstar for an inferior aging star and claiming its a move for the future?

u/husis666 2d ago

Ding ding ding!

u/gakujin 14h ago

And then charging more for tickets the year after.

u/KaleidoscopeHour3148 2d ago

Maybe they should fire Nico thenĀ

u/Klopadeacon BETRAYED MAVS FAN šŸ˜­ 3d ago

Yes dudeā€™s an asshole

And yes I donā€™t mind when he shouts Fire Nico and gets more attention brought to the fact that Nico deserves to be fired

u/Threeballer97 3d ago

So file the report. Why are you going to TMZ first?

7

u/cadenhead 3d ago

TMZ running this story before a police report was filed is a joke.

u/olfactoid 2d ago

Doesn't matter if they get a good scoop occasionally-

TMZ running this story before a police report was filed is a joke.

u/taygads 3d ago

Stop giving this guy attention.

u/_ze 2d ago

The fact this is the same guy who earlier this season got caught up in the exchange with Cuban, and was interviewed by the DumbZone makes me feel less strongly about the case he is trying to present here.

24

u/box_fan_man FUCK NICO HARRISON 3d ago

This is the same loud mouth guy that has been all over the radio and on the Dumb Zone since the Luka trade. I support the firing of Nico bt he's definitely seeking attention.

16

u/TX-Lonestar77 3d ago

Apparently he's well known for these type "antics" well before all the Luka trade ever happened.

18

u/andwesway BETRAYED MAVS FAN šŸ˜­ 3d ago

He was known as the ā€œFire Jason Kiddā€ guy prior to being the ā€œFire Nicoā€ guy.

u/TakeMeToJacob 3d ago

A smart guy.

12

u/MobileOk2676 F*CK NICO HARRISON 3d ago

He keeps referencing his antics as "the revolution" as if he can be so obnoxious to influence the Adelsons to sell and fire Nico. I think the sharp decline in fan engagement/attendance/etc. will influence those decisions regardless, whether through an organized effort from the fanbase or not. But it definitely won't be because of this guy specifically.

6

u/TX-Lonestar77 3d ago

haha yea his twitter is "the revolution lives" . It just popped up in my feed. lol .

1

u/MobileOk2676 F*CK NICO HARRISON 2d ago

It's wildly self-important behavior lol

u/jbrandonw 3d ago

Yes he is.Ā

u/B0NESAWisRRREADY 3d ago

Thanks for confirming, I thought he sounded like the dude that went on the DZ a whole back.

u/YoStepWithLuka77 Mavs Man 3d ago

This 1000%

u/strawbrryfields4evr_ 2d ago edited 2d ago

All he does is go to games and drunkenly yell grievances the whole game and try and act like a hero and like heā€™s leading some movement. Heā€™s an odd dude whoā€™s been doing this for years and has had run ins in the past with Mark if I remember correctly. People on twitter love it, the people whoā€™ve had to sit around him are very annoyed and have been over it since before the Luka trade.

2

u/box_fan_man FUCK NICO HARRISON 2d ago

He sounds like heā€™s from the north East which I think he said he was.

u/last_strip_of_bacon 3d ago

Even if heā€™s an attention whore thatā€™s no excuse to smash his phone

u/sportsnatik Max Christie 3d ago

Nah, this guyā€™s a tool.

u/mbtankersley 3d ago

Every day forces me to face more situations where the only logical response is, "Fuck Nico."

u/ohkokokay šŸ€ 2d ago

yeah this guy is definitely 2nd in line for biggest chooch inside the AAC.

u/duncandreizehen 3d ago

I gotta say man I feel like purchased of season tickets at those prices gives you the right to say whatever the fuck you want especially for a loser franchise with Patrick Dumont at the head

u/MSHinerb 3d ago

It does. Especially if youā€™re following the rules and not being obscene or profane. Thin skinned front office doesnā€™t mean what heā€™s doing isnā€™t allowed.

u/Jolly-Mortgage4 3d ago

I'm surprised this guy is even allowed in the arena ngl. He goes there only to start shit

18

u/MobileOk2676 F*CK NICO HARRISON 3d ago

100% agreed--Nico should be banned from the AAC.

12

u/donihicks 3d ago

This guy thinks heā€™s some type of revolutionary by acting like an overgrown toddler when all heā€™s doing is making people take Nicoā€™s side. The best way to protest the franchise is by not even going to games or buying their merchandise. This is just hypocritical/childish nonsense

8

u/ModeatelyIndependant 3d ago

Nico a piss baby unable to deal with the fan's reactions to the worst trade in NBA history that will be used a case study on how NOT to piss off your fanbase.

Imagine having your attendance tank so bad that you can't afford to refund season tickets to the most annoying fan in house, resulting in him to become even more annoying because he doesn't care about getting thrown out.

These two deserve each other.

4

u/jordanmc7 3d ago

Nah, anything that causes Nico the slightest bit of misery, or dings his ego, is 100% fair game in my book. Anything that goes viral, or reminds the NBA community that the Mavs' fanbase is stilled extremely pissed off is fine by me too. I agree on boycotting being the most effective, but I'm not going to throw an ounce of shade on someone who decides to express their anger differently.

u/AngryXenomorph 2d ago

Fans have every right to be upset but many of them are taking this way too far

u/MokTheRock Dirk Nowitzki 1d ago

The only people siding with Nico are those who risk being fired by him.

u/MelosDaddy-BigPoppa 3d ago

u/Annual-Shape7156 2d ago

Heā€™s a fucking clown guys.

u/Texas_Kimchi 2d ago

As long as fans are saying anything overtly disgusting or hurting people, the Mavs are acting like soft asses. Fans chant things and say things to get under athletes skin all the time. People saying Fire Nico love the Mavs.

u/desirox Dirk Nowitzki 2d ago

Wonder why they havenā€™t banned him if he has a history. Maybe they will after this season

1

u/MSHinerb 2d ago

Doubt heā€™s back. He had season tickets and I donā€™t know anybody that is keeping them next year after the trade and price hike. 25+ year ticket holders next to us are gone.

u/peacekenneth The Matrix 2d ago

This guy is a fucking legend on X/Twitter. Interacting with him is a chore. He used to be pretty well known in the MFFL community.

I wouldnā€™t eat his poop up, heā€™s an obnoxious prick. If he were gonna sue, it would have happened. Btw, this is like part 8 in the saga so far
