“I’ll Beat Your Mothrfking A*”: Pistons Legend Gives Two Cents on Chris Paul and Scott Foster in the Referee Controversy

Published 12/08/2023, 11:31 PM EST

The beef between the Golden State Warriors star Chris Paul and controversial referee Scott Foster has been catching steam for some time now. During the match against the Phoenix Suns, Paul got a first-half ejection. His coach and teammates criticized the decision, but Paul had gone on to accuse Foster of settling personal scores with him.

After NBA commissioner Adam Silver tried to balance the things between the two, others have openly tried to call out the referee. Many took the issue head-on, calling for an end to the corrupt refereeing. Former Pistons legend Rasheed Wallace too had strong words for Foster.

Appearing in Gil’s Arena show along with Gilbert Arena, Wallace was asked if Foster should be allowed to officiate the matches any further. Wallace showed his disagreement over the same. He reasoned that Foster’s officiating was bad for the NBA business and also that Foster was trying to settle personal scores on a basketball court.

Wallace said, “I don’t think he should because that’s bad for this business, number 1. But number 2, I didn’t hear until the other day through some friends the reason why that beef is a beef and I gotta say for that I’m on the side of Chris Paul. I will beat your m*therf*cking a*s. Because now you’re taking it beyond basketball. “

While some analysts believe that Golden State Warriors tend to lose the games that Scott Foster officiates, NBA commissioner Adam Silver tried to douse the fire.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver tried to address the issue that has been in the public domain for some time now. He respectfully addressed the warring parties and called Foster a respected NBA official. Also, he called Chris Paul as someone whose “track record speaks for itself”. He revealed that the NBA administration tried to talk to both of them and urged them to stay professional.

And what was the exact message of the NBA to the two? Silver detailed, “Whatever the bad blood is between you two, you don’t have to be friends, but you got to both go out and do your jobs.” However, Chris Paul was in no mode to agree with the official. He said nobody from the NBA talked with him about the issue.

Do you think the NBA is unbiased in dealing with the issue? Let us know in the comments.
