LaLa -- Racist Mavericks Fans Attacked Me First

LalaCarmelo Anthony's fiance LaLa Vazquez has released a statement claiming racial taunts and violent threats from Dallas Mavericks fans incited her at last night's NBA playoff game:

"Obviously the play-off games bring out the best and the worst in fans but what happened on Monday night with the racial slurs/threats, verbal attacks on my son and physical attacks to myself by irate fans was unacceptable. The fans were totally out of control.

What the cameras captured was me defending myself and didn't show the abuse that was taking place."


Footage shot at last night's game showed LaLa cursing and getting hostile as security tried to escort her out of the stands.

The Mavs and the Nugs are set to face off again tomorrow night.

31. maybe LaRaza will come to her defense and sue all the white people she's defaming. She is nothing but a Spanish cussing maid with money! Plus she's ugly with wonky eyes.

32. I said I had insider information, plus you weren't there Solomon, you don't know what went down. She's playing the RACE card, and she ain't Black she's a Latina. Shows you who she really is. Under pressure to look good, she'll say she's Black Whatever!!!! LMAO

33. I was at the game and whoever this chick is, she's lying 100%... there weren't racial slurs thrown, there was no beer thrown... she was at fault 100% and deserved to get her arse thrown out of the arena. Look at the video... it speaks for herself. This no-name fake celebrity expects preferential treatment just because she's dating a thug Nugget. No one in our section even knew who she was! Don't come to the arena if you can't act like a grown woman. Grow up.

35. First all people I live in Dallas,TX. And yes I'm African American but at our basketball games it's probably 75% white !!
I wasn't there, but I had to comment based on the stupid comment stating there are hardly any whites at a basketball game! LOL check the web for any Dallas games period

38. It's so sad to watch both the white and the the black people on this site act like imature racist. None of us was there or have any clue what really went on. All of the name calling from both white's and black's over this issue is so danm stupid. Honestly I don't even know why I bothered to even respond to this. It is what is and you are what you are...if it makes you feel better to call eachother names and act like idiots then go right ahead i guess. I refuse to argue with ignorance of any color.

39. If anyone's seen what a giant ass the Maverick's owner is it should come as no surprise that the fans are just as bad. Black, white, it probably didn't matter, they were probably all making disgusting comments to her. Because I really doubt she wanted to start picking fights when she's surrounded by Maverick fans, especially with her kid there. But I have no doubt Maverick fans are so pissed about losing to Denver (hey - it's gonna happen, the Mavs are just lucky they didn't get swept) that they would resort to such low-life tactics as harassing the fiance of a player. Come on, it's just common sense that that's what happened.

40. I HATE RACISTS! But whites always get called racists by blacks and yet there's no such thing is a racist black man. The Jacksons, Al sharpton, Spike lee, and the gangs outside my crib. I bet everyone here are white racists but whatever this chick is stop with the hate i mean if she's got the ghettotude then screw this bitch. Those kind of blacks are nothing but trouble go back 2 the hood. UNITY IN 2012 SO GET READY REDNEKCS!

43. that hoe has screws everybody. if you were at that game, please get an STD test so you know she didnt infect you with what came out of her mouth.

44. *********** LOL@ the joker that said this is classless NBA> Oh, i'm sure there's NOTHING the kindhearted angelic fans could have said to her that would've got her riled up and that mad. Fans are people, they have to take some responsibility for their actions.

Know what's not the jungle? The NBA> IT's not like the NHL where a guy can sucker punch someone and break their neck or orbital bone or slash someone with a freaking stick and just call it part of the game.

The NBA has done wonders to improve it's one court product the last 4 years and it's working. The product is great right now. Other sports with thugs getting busted more frequently (NFL), cheaters galore (MLB) and cavemen acting tough with sticks in their hand on a sheet of ice (NHL) isn't exactly piquing my interest.

Great series with the bad blood between the Mavs/Nuggets. Can't wait for game 5!

LeBron's epic dominance. The Bulls/Celtics classic. Another great series with the C's/Magic. A surprising storyline with Aaron Brooks and Houston vs LA... and this series. There's been plenty of great basketball played in Rd 2. *************
