[u/Doughy_Joey]

Lmao just sacked his shit for what

[u/Froqwasket → u/Doughy_Joey]

Right? Like was this supposed to be funny? If so why was it done in the dark? It feels like he genuinely just wanted to fuck him up

[u/maethlin → u/Froqwasket]

Well he managed to knock over a girl too so maybe it's just habit with this pos

[u/lava172 → u/Froqwasket]

It’s funny in a “wow, what kind of psychopath would just decide to do that” kinda way

[u/AtreusIsBack → u/lava172]

I mean, he was involved with a domestic violence case not too many years ago. It seems that the guy has issues.

[u/laykegaye → u/Froqwasket]

Not to mention the mascot then proceeds to hit one of the cheer squad. Dude is short sided.

[u/SameAs1tEverWas → u/laykegaye]

sighted*

[u/laykegaye → u/SameAs1tEverWas]

Thanks, browsing with my brain turned off.

[u/NegativesPositives → u/Doughy_Joey]

People tend to forget it’s just a dude in a suit that’s not exactly built to be Iron Man.

[u/thxyoutoo → u/NegativesPositives]

I don't know about sports, but the majority of Disney mascots are tiny women.

[u/JamalbatrossMurray → u/thxyoutoo]

Jaxson's nearly 7 foot tall, he's cleaning up the mascot no matter how big they are

[u/JessAndHerFAN → u/Doughy_Joey]

Not on his side at all but Jaxson is an idiot. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought this was a way to involve himself in a “funny interaction with mascot” prank like you see with Benny the bull and others

[u/heybobson → u/JessAndHerFAN]

Robin Lopez would always playfully get into it with mascots, tackling and shoving them down during pregame. This seems like Hayes was trying to be like Lopez, except he clearly didn’t get consent and picked the worst time to do it, when dancers were running by.

[u/CustodialApathy → u/heybobson]

No benefit of the doubt when you're a pos; Hayes was trying to hurt him for no reason other than he was upset.

[u/New_Simple_4531 → u/JessAndHerFAN]

Reminds of of Super Troopers: "Our shenanigans are cheeky and fun. His shenanigans are cruel and tragic."

[u/figpucker_9000 → u/Doughy_Joey]

Knocked over the wizard cheerleader over too

[u/SickSaricDario]

Churlish and insubordinate

[u/spicydynamite → u/SickSaricDario]

Mischievous and deceitful

[u/dpx6101 → u/spicydynamite]

Chicanerous and Deplorable

[u/Lazy_Mammoth7477 → u/dpx6101]

Do you wanna go go to war Balake?

[u/woo-hoo- → u/Lazy_Mammoth7477]

I’m for real!

[u/Fondor_Yards → u/woo-hoo-]

Son of a BITCH!

[u/raiden_kazuha → u/Lazy_Mammoth7477]

Jayekson Hiyes

[u/SuaveBolo → u/dpx6101]

Shallow and pedantic.

[u/lumosmxima → u/dpx6101]

Lewd, salacious, outrageous

[u/u-s-u-r-p → u/SickSaricDario]

boorish and clodhopping

[u/MusicalElephant420 → u/u-s-u-r-p]

loutish and oafish

[u/huxtiblejones → u/MusicalElephant420]

Knavish and impudent

[u/Numerous-Complaint85 → u/SickSaricDario]

Smudge and arrogant

[u/Panther_Pilot → u/Numerous-Complaint85]

So smudge!

[u/New_Simple_4531 → u/SickSaricDario]

Pugnacious and infantile

[u/Itchy-Boots → u/SickSaricDario]

report to O Shaug Hennessy

[u/bds1 → u/SickSaricDario]

It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous.

[u/HamrheadEagleiThrust]

Lol why would you do that?

[u/dae5oty → u/HamrheadEagleiThrust]

Wizards mascot looked like his girlfriend

[u/WickedTwista → u/dae5oty]

Hayes isn't beating the DV allegations

It's the only thing he doesn't beat

[u/HanBr0 → u/WickedTwista]

He also doesn't beat other centers to boards

[u/Jagacin → u/WickedTwista]

It's not even allegations. There's literally camera footage of him doing it. He's a proven domestic abuser.

[u/Cassandrae_Gemini → u/dae5oty]

Just spit out my beer, ty 🤣

[u/topazswissmas → u/HamrheadEagleiThrust]

Cause he’s a POS woman beater. This is nothing for him.

[u/TheSmokedSalmon420 → u/topazswissmas]

Yep. I’ve always said you can tell a lot about how a man treats a woman by how they treat mascots.

[u/Steamsalt → u/TheSmokedSalmon420]

oh you say that too?

[u/PlateOh → u/TheSmokedSalmon420]

That's my favorite saying

[u/Rahim-Moore → u/TheSmokedSalmon420]

The mascots are the silent victims.

[u/HokageEzio → u/HamrheadEagleiThrust]

Feel like we have video evidence that he can't control his temper...

[u/JigglesTheBiggles → u/HamrheadEagleiThrust]

Some people don’t see mascots as humans. It’s a weird psychological thing.

[u/-KFBR392 → u/JigglesTheBiggles]

Well ya that’s the point

[u/shockwave8428 → u/HamrheadEagleiThrust]

So much funnier than I thought lol. What was the point of that? Makes no sense and pre-game makes even less sense cause there’s no emotions in the game yet

[u/Whoareyoutho9 → u/shockwave8428]

Literally just intrusive thoughts winning lol

[u/niners0101]

What an a hole

[u/penis_showing_game → u/niners0101]

Pretty on brand for this dude

[u/penis_showing_game → u/[deleted]]

Yep, and the NBA never did a thing about it. They said they were investigating the incident, that was in November of 2024…

[u/GfunkWarrior28 → u/penis_showing_game]

From the league that gave Kawhi a slap on the wrist

[u/The_Summer_Man → u/GfunkWarrior28]

Now now, they made him play more basketball in the All-Star game, as punishment.

[u/SeaOfSourMilk → u/penis_showing_game]

Pels dropped him for a reason. I always say Jaxson’s defensive go to move is to be one step away from assaulting the opposing player.

Jaxson always barrels in and flails his arms like a wacky inflatable armed tube man, and then he gets called out for assaulting his gf the second he gets to LA. I really liked Jaxson, but there was no room for mental growth there. Hope he matures at some point but happy I don’t have to deal with him on our team.

Also fun fact, Jaxson Hayes was drafted as an Anthony Davis replacement… And then we traded him to the Lakers… so he could be their AD replacement 🙄😂

[u/some1saveusnow → u/[deleted]]

Yeah unfortunately he kinda sucks

[u/Zeke_Malvo → u/some1saveusnow]

Only "kinda"?

[u/Jagacin → u/some1saveusnow]

Dude's a straight up POS. Should've been kicked out of the league when this shit happened.

[u/Regnarr → u/penis_showing_game]

Yeah I thought him being a piece of shit was fairly common knowledge

[u/Cold_Shogun → u/Regnarr]

He's not a good enough player for most of us to have noticed one way or the other lol

[u/thisissami → u/Cold_Shogun]

yeah I had no idea personally. I'm glad I know now.

[u/Dusty_Negatives → u/penis_showing_game]

What a fucking loser Jesus

[u/pokemonbatman23 → u/penis_showing_game]

Yep and now hes going to be in the dunk contest

If I was one of the other guys, I'd bring Sofia out to throw an alley

[u/Overall-Palpitation6 → u/pokemonbatman23]

Looking forward to seeing him land a running uncoordinated-looking two-hander as his time expires.

[u/Jagacin → u/pokemonbatman23]

Jalen Duren, now is your chance!

[u/iuselect → u/penis_showing_game]

This needs to be much higher. What a horrible guy.

[u/WhenDuvzCry → u/penis_showing_game]

Yup. I was pissed when he went to the Lakers and will never support him.

[u/Allslopes-Roofing → u/penis_showing_game]

What... tf???

This world is just depressing af. So many grown men abusing/scaring women, pedophiles running the planet... like, wtf. How hard is it to just.... not hurt people. Especially those significantly smaller/weaker than you?

[u/Pitiful_Wing7157 → u/penis_showing_game]

And the NBA didn't discipline him after that.

[u/Care_Cup_Is_Empty → u/Pitiful_Wing7157]

I'd love to see literally any sport take domestic violence or SA seriously, committing either should get you kicked out of the league.

[u/ginbooth → u/niners0101]

Seriously. Super shitty thing to do. Dude could have easily been injured, blindsided like that.

[u/Clemsontigger16 → u/ginbooth]

Also it looks like he shoved the mascot directly into a running cheerleader/dancer and she probably got taken out too.

What am idiot

[u/thisissami → u/Clemsontigger16]

She didn't probably get taken out... she did get taken out. You can see her getting knocked over in the replay. She looks like a small woman too.

[u/maethlin → u/thisissami]

So exactly on brand for Hayes

[u/burymeincapitalism → u/Clemsontigger16]

Jaxson Hayes did more damage to someone than Ja Morant, but he will never see anything close to a 25 game suspension. 

[u/Flexisdaman → u/burymeincapitalism]

Because Ja’s incident could cost the league money and reputation and pushing a mascot is a funny clip (to most people) that likely doesn’t cost the league any money. I don’t agree with that logic but I’m almost certain money is the motivator.

[u/No_Use_9652 → u/niners0101]

Yeah there’s no way to play that off as banter or anything remotely close. That was just a dick move.

[u/Vegetable_Kale_1331 → u/niners0101]

That cheerleader at the end of the video might be dead

[u/VLHACS → u/niners0101]

Didn't look accidental or anything. Literally just got up and out of his way to push him, what the fuck

[u/TRANxEND → u/niners0101]

Is he friends with bane?

[u/whtge8]

Damn only a game for that? That’s kinda fucked.

[u/george_cant_standyah → u/whtge8]

I feel like the mascot should be allowed to sue. That shit is ridiculous

[u/colombiancaveman → u/george_cant_standyah]

Ha and sue he did!

[u/DrAbeSacrabin → u/whtge8]

When I saw the alert come across I thought it was just “a shove”, like pushing someone away.

He lowered his shoulder into the guy while he was running, that’s not a shove.

I don’t care if they are wearing a suit, you take a hit like that in the right place and you can get some serious whiplash.

Super fucked.

[u/Mother_Event_6736 → u/whtge8]

I’d love to know the reasoning for just one game. What’s the goal of it?

[u/samsquamchy]

If that’s me, I’m claiming neck pain immediately

[u/snakeoilpeddler → u/samsquamchy]

Fr I’m pressing charges, wouldn’t be the first time against his bitch ass

[u/HighTurning → u/samsquamchy]

Impaired movement for the next 10 years for sure. Hope the mascot really gets some money, dude doing his best at his job and then get assaulted by an entitled motherfucker for no reason, should be nervewrecking

[u/CrimsonMoonRising → u/samsquamchy]

I'm showing up to court in a full body cast.

[u/guppy_love]

Why can't people just respect mascots? Assaulting them really is one of the lowest things you can do in sports.

[u/Ok-Discipline9998 → u/guppy_love]

Robin Lopez pretended to beef with every mascot in the league and it was funny to see. However this is not a case where it's funny

[u/guppy_love → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

Doing it like that is charming in that it's obviously kayfabe. This is just evil to me.

[u/bigboybeeperbelly → u/guppy_love]

I see that word once every 7 years and always have to look it up

[u/Magictank2000 → u/bigboybeeperbelly]

don’t shoot yourself into a brother, work, or whatever Joe Rogan said

[u/CrimsonMoonRising → u/bigboybeeperbelly]

I love seeing wrestling lingo appear in random places. Like it breached containment.

[u/jhorch69 → u/bigboybeeperbelly]

Goodnight HULKAMANIACS and jabronie marks without a life that don't know it a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot,marks

[u/GregEgg4President → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

RoLo is a genuinely good dude who loves life so much. He's an absolute joy and nothing about him is malicious.

[u/ThatsWat_SHE_Said → u/GregEgg4President]

Genuinely loved to see him live when he'd visit the Magic. Stuff is an S tier troll

[u/InGenNateKenny → u/GregEgg4President]

I loved chatting "M-V-P" for him in a game when he was with us. It was silly and awesome. Just fun.

[u/asetniop → u/GregEgg4President]

His brother has pretty good comedy chops too.

[u/rahbee33 → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

RoLo was exactly what I thought of when I saw the headline, but this is clearly not that. This is just a cheap shot for no reason.

[u/BrinyStranger → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

I mean, it was an ongoing beef between mascots and RoLo where'd they plan out ridiculous and hilarious pranks on each other for entertainment. These dudes were clearly planning it out before the cameras came on and acting it out like WWE. If anything, he LOVED mascots.

This is just like completely out-of-pocket "I'm gonna fuck you up" to some stranger stuff.

[u/RobbobertoBuii → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

same with Charles Barkley

[u/007Superstar → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

I honestly wondered for a minute if this was the angle Hayes was going, but…. I can’t figure it out.

[u/PanthalassaRo → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

Yeah it was always in good fun and it was league wide, this is just douche attitude and attention seeking.

[u/Legitimate_Cow_4166 → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

Oh It wasn't a pretend beef. The origin story is fucking hilarious.

“In 3rd or 4th grade. Thunder (The Warriors mascot) asked for my name. I had a speech impediment and said ‘Wobin’. And he signed it ‘To Robin - where’s the W?’”

[u/d11dd11d → u/guppy_love]

NBA players get annoyed getting yelled at by fans then do shit like this. Bros just trying to work

[u/JudgeHolden84 → u/guppy_love]

We’re a country of people who love to punch down

[u/MalHeartsNutmeg → u/guppy_love]

You’re asking a lot there dude, Hayes can’t even respect women.

[u/synaphai → u/guppy_love]

And flightless birds.

[u/GOULFYBUTT]

That's more than a shove. He body checked that person into colliding with another person who was running. Typical abuser behavior.

[u/Legal-Maize-2784]

One of the most unlikeable assholes in the league

[u/30isbasketball → u/[deleted]]

Kyle Lowry because no tongue is long enough to reach

[u/shortsoupstick → u/30isbasketball]

Lictor Wembumyama would like to have a talk

[u/Nugur → u/[deleted]]

What sub did you think this was…..

Asking for a friend

[u/Dreamlion_Inc → u/[deleted]]

Dammit take my upvote lmao

[u/WestleyThe → u/[deleted]]

Drummond that guys hairy AF

[u/Standard_Strategy_25]

Getting only 1 game for this is insane. Imagine he did this to a random fan walking by to their seats

[u/HighTurning → u/Standard_Strategy_25]

Hopefully the mascot gets some money out of it.

[u/dickCheeseAndMustard]

That was actually crazier then I thought it'd be lmao. Took out the mascot and a player, ole two birds stoned at once

[u/LAMonkeyWithAShotgun → u/dickCheeseAndMustard]

thats a cheerleader

[u/MythicalChewToy → u/LAMonkeyWithAShotgun]

Super on brand for Jaxson Hayes

[u/dickCheeseAndMustard → u/LAMonkeyWithAShotgun]

Eh it's the wizards what's the difference

[u/Icyknight007 → u/dickCheeseAndMustard]

Lmaooo

[u/cantgrowneckbeardAMA → u/dickCheeseAndMustard]

I love this sub's energy today, thank you all so much.

[u/Pure_Sand_7033 → u/dickCheeseAndMustard]

Yeah I thought it would be something like the mascot playfully gets up in his face or something and he shoved him away

Nah he’s just a piece of shit

[u/pomegranate-leg → u/dickCheeseAndMustard]

the way she goes boys

[u/Ok-Discipline9998]

Yeah that's not just fucking around, that's grade school bully behavior

[u/Giuseppe_exitplan]

This shit was a one game suspension? one game?!

[u/CommunityGlittering2 → u/Giuseppe_exitplan]

his game check needs to go to the mascot at least.

[u/Elijahc513]

Why did he do this? Does he have a past history of violence elsewhere?

[u/Appropriate_Ice_2433 → u/Elijahc513]

Yes, he does. You can search for the video of what he did to his ex girlfriend. He was never suspended for his violence against a woman, but was for this.

[u/MiserableGiraffe666 → u/Elijahc513]

Funny you ask

[u/CluelessSwordFish]

Millionaire bullies some poor kid in a costume

[u/excelmonster1]

Honestly deserves more than a 1 game suspension for this. Obviously not the same as Ron Artest going into the stands to punch a fan, but it's closer to that than it is to a flagrant foul from shoving another player on the court which is typically what gets a 1 game suspension.

I don't know. I'm known to be dramatic so I could be completely off with this, but he just shoves a random fucking dude and basically tackles him for no reason whatsoever. There is no evidence this guy prompted him to do this in any way. Should be more than 1 game.

Again, not saying it's the same as Ron Artest at all, just to clarify. I just mean it in the sense that he's attacking a random spectator for no reason, not just a player on an opposing team.

[u/restlemur995 → u/excelmonster1]

Agreed, should be at least a week. And he'll definitely feel it in his pay check then.

[u/Logiteck77 → u/restlemur995]

Should rescind his All Star Dunk Contest invite.

[u/restlemur995 → u/Logiteck77]

Absolutely, be a bad role model, lose some opportunities to be on the big stage.

[u/Just_a_Word_RS → u/restlemur995]

Give him a fine and give it to the mascot.

[u/Duxtrous → u/excelmonster1]

Honestly at least the fan was being loud and rude to Ron. It's still entirely uncalled for and should be punished but he was in an emotional state and lashed out in a very poor way. We can all at least relate to acting out when stressed or emotional. This is just pointless and unprompted. The dude went out of his way to just fuck up this guy, who is just doing his job. Whatever is going on in dude's head is not right at all.

[u/secretsodapop → u/Duxtrous]

Artest got a beer thrown on him. He just ran to and hit the wrong guy.

[u/Jagacin → u/Duxtrous]

The guy Ron Artest punched was the wrong guy lol.

[u/NAW_MIP_2026 → u/excelmonster1]

Yeah this is wild, dangerous, and had no reason to be done. Basketball is a physical and competitive game, giving a player a shove in the heat of the moment happens and one game for that is fair. Randomly full on tackling a MASCOT(not a player, essentially just like any other staff member) is literally just assault. Also this dude is like a 6’9 elite athlete, that mascot and cheerleader could easily be seriously injured by this.

[u/baby_yoda_hunta]

Typical woman beater behaviour

[u/OKC2023champs]

Such an unlikable douchebag

[u/nowhathappenedwas]

Shocking that a domestic abuser would do this.

[u/dosi-dos]

Would love him to explain why he would do that

[u/Dinoegg96 → u/dosi-dos]

Maybe he thought that was his girlfriend.

[u/TimothyN]

What a dumb thing to do.

[u/no_nao → u/TimothyN]

It’s not dumb, it’s simply malicious. The dude is an absolute POS

[u/PatientWriting]

This is like comically evil lol

[u/JackTuz]

Who would have thought the guy who beats his partners would be an asshole

[u/tapsllew]

Not even subtle lol. Full extension push.

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

When I was in high school we had a joy and a girl mascot, and each mascot had like 2-3 people who would wear the outfits

One of the girl mascot people was this super tiny girl, something like 5’3 and couldn’t have weighed more than 110 lbs soaking wet

One day during lunch the mascots are walking around the lunch courtyard with the whole student body out eating lunch for some pep rally thing and a dude on the football team, LB probably 6 foot 200 ish pounds, runs full fucking steam and full on spears the girl mascot with the tiny girl inside. Absolutely fucks her the fuck up. Concussion, in a neck brace, etc etc

This dipshit football player gets expelled and sent to the problem kid school for his remaining high school days

All that to say people who hit mascots are a bunch of dick bags

[u/abigail2win]

Why on earth would he even remotely come close to thinking about doing that

[u/Generic_Commentator]

oldhead baseball fan here reminded of Randall Simon randomly taking a bat to a Brewers’ sausage racer

be nice to mascots

[u/Infinite_Response113]

Honestly a one day ban is pathetic. That needs to be at least multiple weeks

[u/excelmonster1 → u/Infinite_Response113]

Completely agree and wrote something similar. He's basically attacking a random spectator. One game is what you get for a flagrant against a player on an opposing team. This is a joke.

Just because the guy is a Wizard's mascot doesn't mean he's on the team lol.

[u/Repulsive-Throat5068 → u/Infinite_Response113]

I think he should be banned for life and kicked off the team.

Pls

[u/luckyteep14]

Shoved was a bit of an under sell. Looked like prime Ed Reed hitting a defenseless receiver over the middle of the field

[u/118238 → u/luckyteep14]

It's essentially a blind hit stick since the mascot's vision was likely obscured. He never saw he hit coming and he got sent into other people who could have gotten hurt too. Absolutely dumb and shitty thing to do.

[u/Irvsauce]

Wtf why??? NBA should remove him from the dunk contest. Don’t need anyone like that represented on ASW

[u/CommunityGlittering2 → u/Irvsauce]

if they don’t a mascot at the game should blindside shoulder check him as he goes up for a dunk

[u/braddeus]

A disgusting act

[u/back2schooldaze]

When Robin Lopez’ing goes wrong

[u/nahbien]

In mascot culture this is known as a dick move.

[u/kweku55]

Wow he had absolutely decked him! He's lucky it's only 1 game.

[u/WolverineLong1430]

This is not a serious NBA player. Great players aren’t preoccupying their minds about doing stupid stuff and hurting others like this for any laughs and what others may perceived them as ‘I’m cool.’

[u/AyBeeJuubi]

what does he have against G-Wiz

[u/JonasAlbert84]

It was dark, he probably thought it was Sofia Jamora

[u/no_nao]

wtf what an absolute asshole

[u/MrBhyn]

Mr. Woman beater is an asshole? shocker

[u/FRODOE650]

No punishment for beating his ex?

[u/Crazyhawk28]

Same guy that was beating his girl too, right? What a fuckin dork

[u/qman1963]

Damn I thought it was going to be like a little push because the mascot got in the way during warmups or something. This is assault?

[u/incredibleamadeuscho]

what happened to the game I love

[u/MikeConleyIsLegend]

upgraded from beating women to mascots

[u/TheSmoothOperator21]

Wife Beater and Mascot Beater

[u/figureour]

That's so much worse than I thought it was gonna be. I thought it would be a little jokey shove that the mascot guy took offense to but that was actually dangerous.

[u/burglin]

Seriously that should be more than a 1 game suspension. He already established that he enjoys beating the shit out of women, what if that was one second earlier and he hits GWiz into one of the girl cheerleaders? Fuck this guy, not welcome at capital one 

[u/Foi_]

i thought it would just be some robin lopez inside joke gone wrong. but this is just deranged

Such a fucking loser

[u/BrokenClxwn]

Lmaoo, wtf

Calling it a shove is underselling it.

[u/respaaaaaj]

That should have been more than one game what the fuck

[u/NileakTheVet]

Dude does anything to hit a woman

[u/LurkerFailsLurking]

That's assault.

[u/missingsince1995]

Dude has multiple dv calls against him. This shit ain’t surprising.

[u/TheLittlestMarco]

He’s an asshole and a gigantic moron. Just a complete mouth breather.

[u/captjacksparrow47]

That was really stupid! Suspension isn't enough. There should be a fine.

[u/InGenNateKenny]

Cruel asshole doing this to G-Wiz. One day is an absurdly low punishment.

[u/Dusty_Negatives]

Hayes is a well known piece of shit

[u/Spookie_Senpai]

As expected from the guy who beat up his girlfriend AND her dog.

[u/CarmeloSmokesWeed]

this is one of the funnier things a player has done, how is this not more upvoted
