24. Vernon Maxwell
Maxwell wasn’t the first athlete to fight a fan and he probably won’t be the last. However, the former NBA star made headlines during a 1995 game against the Trail Blazers. The Houston Rockets’ star believed that he heard the fan making racist remarks and reacted violently. He left the court and entered the stands to confront the so-called supporter with his fists.

The basketball star didn’t speak to the fan. Instead, he simply punched him in the face. While tantrums are forgivable in this kind of situation, there will also be consequences. Maxwell received a 10-game ban and a hefty fine for his actions but he didn’t mind. A two-time NBA Champion, ‘Mad Max’ was an excellent player but an unforgiving presence in his heyday.
