Crowd security will suddenly become a big talking point among NBL clubs after a fan was ejected from WIN Entertainment Centre for pouring beer on Sydney Kings import Marcus Thornton.
The fan reached out to dump his beer on Thornton during Sydney's 96-90 loss to arch rivals Illawarra.
The incident occurred after Thornton drove to the basket midway through the third quarter, falling to the floor and almost sliding into the advertising sign.
As the American guard looked up hoping for a foul call, the offender poured beer in Thornton's hair.
The man played it off like nothing had happened, while his wife gave him a bollock for his behaviour.
Security were swift to escort the couple from their courtside seats.
