In life, what goes around comes around. One Los Angeles Clipper fan learned that the hard way Sunday night when he tried to shove a kid aside in a race, and the Utah Jazz’s mascot, Jazz Bear, took him down.

The interesting debate here is whether this is fake. It’s compelling because, why else would a Clipper fan be chosen for this at a Utah home game? But look at his jersey. It’s an old-school Lamar Odom jersey, from his first stint with the Clippers — 1999-2003. No stock Clipper fan is wearing that jersey — the Jazz would have gotten a Chris Paul or Blake Griffin jersey instead.
With that in mind, this scribe is concluding that this is real and that someone in Salt Lake City woke up this morning very embarrassed.
