Flo Rida’s manager banned from American Airlines Arena for NBA finals Game 6 & 7

American Airlines Arena in Miami is going to be known as an unfriendly space for fans if this keeps up. Remember during the Eastern Conference Finals when rapper Flo Rida’s manager, Lee “Freezy” Prince was asked to leave because of his rambunctious support of the Miami Heat? Looks like the NBA doesn’t want a repeat performance. Freezy recently revealed that he’s been banned from attending Game 6 tonight and Game 7 if necessary because Spurs head coach, Gregg Popovich isn’t a fan of that particular brand of support.

“They were sending me emails all week and kind threats but I was ignoring them,” he said. “Then I got emails and phone calls from their lawyers telling me I’m not allowed in the building for the next two games. So I’m like, ‘What violation did I (commit)’”

“They were just telling me we had too much energy and the head coach complained about it,” Freezy claimed. “Them cats want an easy win. They ain’t used to that Miami Heat support right next to them in their ears.”

Freezy said the Pacers were more disrespectful about it than the Spurs.

“The Spurs are just scared,” he explained. “They’re scared of the energy. The Pacers were disrespectful. The Spurs don’t want that building to erupt around them. What I do to cheer for my team is no different than what Spike Lee does in New York or Jack Nicholson does in LA.”

He does have a point about Spike. Remember back in the day when he and former Pacers star Reggie Miller used to beef on the sideline? But, you can’t compare yourself to Jack. First of all, it’s JACK and secondly, Jack is too cool to have to do that much to rattle an opponent.
