In the video caught by another fan, Paul can be heard yelling at the fans as they’re being escorted out by security. The Mavericks released a statement on the incident and said it was “unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated.”

"I'll see you later!"

In another video from the sideline, Paul can be seen talking to security and he appears to be telling them, “He put his hands on my mom.” It’s unclear what punishment was handed down or what exactly transpired. But the Mavericks and American Airlines Arena confirmed the fan was “swiftly removed.”
