When the beef between Ben Simmons and Jared Dudley spilled into the stands during Game 4 between the 76ers and Nets, the dad instincts of a courtside papa kicked in.
Cameras captured the moment, and it even earned the play-by-play call from Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller. Just watch this guy pick his kid up and retreat to safety!
Moms and dads of the world, take note! This is just high-level parenting, folks.
It’s always a tense moment when fans get involved in any on-court flare-ups, but it’s a good thing that this guy was actively looking to disengage. As a result of this incident, Dudley as well as Jimmy Butler were ejected from the game — most likely a trade-off that the Nets will be happy with, but ultimately, the 76ers were able to eke out the win.
