A fan mouthing "Fire Nico" on the karaoke cam was escorted out of a Dallas Mavericks game, sparking boos from the crowd. DALLAS — "Fire Nico." Those two words could get you kicked out of a Dallas Mavericks game. During Monday night's matchup between the Kings and Mavs, a karaoke cam zoomed in on one fan, who instead of mouthing the lyrics to "I Want to Dance With Somebody" mouthed "Fire Nico." The "Nico" in question is Mavericks GM Nico Harrison, who facilitated the trade to send franchise player Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. According to Nick Angstadt of Locked On Mavericks, it was the first time fans were shown on the video board since the controversial Doncic trade.

His ejection was captured by fans in the arena. Many fans erupted into booing the move as it was happening, and one fan even gave the man a thumbs-up on his way out.

While Cuban wasn't involved in the Doncic trade, he was still in his customary seat near the Mavericks bench on Monday night. ESPN reported that footage showed Cuban arguing with two fans, telling them to "Shut the f--- up and sit the f--- down!" Cuban sent WFAA a statement clarifying what happened between him and a Mavs fan. "Fans were booing during crunch time while we had the ball and while we were shooting FTs (free throws). I wanted to see why. So I looked where they were looking. When the guy (it was just one) saw me, he started screaming at me. I had no idea what he said, he was a good 25 rows away, but he was obviously mad. He couldn't hear anything I said. But it was clear what I was saying. I didn't care what he was saying. He
