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.

49. I saw one comment in hear about both sides acting quite the color they are!! I would like to say , are Black people supposed wait until white folks say its ok to call it racism? Riiiight I thought so. Anyway , white folks are sooo judgemental , never at fault . Black folks have a lot to work on , but please quit it with the u cant say racism anymore. Than stop doing it (racism) and we will stop the finger pointing. Have some of the people on this blog tell it , there never was slavery , I never use the word ni&&# , only with my friends . Can any white person with dignity say that racism exists. Peace to the white folks who aint racist ...really!

51. There comments are totally pathetic. I'm disgusted by the vile and ignorant remarks. All of the morons that are saying that there couldn't have possibly been any racial taunts are on this site hurling racial insults. And none of you were at the game...

52. Um that pictures looks like she's black to me. Puerto ricans live near me and man they are the whitest people compare to her. But still, SHUT THE F UP RACISTS!

53. why is it that when somebodyy black gets made u got to call them a thug or ghetto. people like you were prolly at the game sayin racist stuff for real and dont act like only black ppl act up like dat. i am a black man n go thru stuff all the time. i have no police record or anything but how i dress ppl think im a thug or something. even if u from the ghetto doesnt mean u are or thug or a gangsta i know alot of ppl who stay in housing projects dat are doin something with their life so u sayin calling someone ghetto is really dumb everybody their aint gangsters just like every white person who stays in a trailier isnt trash! u know somebody had 2 soy something really messed up 2 get her upset like dat. ive seen her on tv when beckey throw her shoe and almost hit her. she put her in her place but it was in a nice way. dont believe what yall see on tv in songs or in life and judge all black people to be the exact same. every race has its good and bad people in it ever!

57. As some who lives in Dallas and has suffered through the obnoxious fans here, I would not be surprised if what she is saying is true. Come on, look at the OWNER said and did.....you think the FANS are any better!!!! I was really hoped for a sweep. I had my brooms painted and all to leave for some of my friends here that do not know any better than to like the Mavericks, of course they like the Cowboys too.

As for the racism in the NBA…..hello half those players are being exploited for the WHITE owners to make money off of. Of course the league is racist, unfortunately most things are. {And I am white, by the way; not that it matters!}

Not all people from the south are rednecks....some of us brought class here from the north :) GO NUGGETS!!!!

58. just because the nba has mostly black players dont mean a thing. ive notice things about the nba too when a white player canplay good they say o he has good skills be liet them talk about a black player. its sad things stuff go on like this in america these days not sayin there isnt any racist black people. but race is still a big issues in america. i remember when i worked at a sears store i worn some dockers and a black polo (our ubniform) walking behind this whit lady and she kept lookin back and finally moved 2 the side so i could walk past her. it was kind of funny but hurtful at the same time. here i am on my way 2 work dress causal with dress shoes and this lady think im trying 2 mug her. its sad 2 me. ive even had some black people asked if i sold drugs because of my car and how i dress. its sad u cant judge ppl on how they look. get 2 know a person be4 u say all dat.

59. Lala Vasquez is a Puerto Rican woman and she looks like many of the Puerto Rican women I see in East Harlem everyday of the week. Puerto Ricans come in all colors dark and light. I am Dominican and proud to be but Lala conducted herself badly being loud and disrespectful. Dominican women do not act that way. Lala should apologize to the fans and to Mr. Cuban.
