Even though his playing days are long behind him, Robert Horry is still letting referees have it.
The seven-time NBA Champion was ejected from his son’s high school basketball game Friday night and can be seen in the video obtained by TMZ Sports screaming “you suck” at the referees. Horry had to be escorted from the gym by the police, according to NBC Los Angeles.
According to TMZ, the incident took place during the third quarter of Harvard-Westlake’s game against St. Francis on Friday. Horry’s son, Christian, a junior at Harvard-Westlake, picked up his fourth foul, much to the dismay of his father.
From there, the situation only escalated, and while it’s not shown in the video, that’s when Robert was tossed from the game.
“Hey ref, you talking about me? You suck! Oh, you’re mad at me because I said you suck?” the elder Horry can be heard saying in the video.
From there, Horry can be seen walking down the bleachers, continuing to heckle the referee, as he made his way down to the court. He was stopped in his tracks by the coaching staff, who then helped escort him out of the gym, along with the assistance of the police.
