Improper 1-2: McGregor puts Heat mascot in ER
The man who plays Heat mascot Burnie was sent to the emergency room after being twice punched by UFC star Conor McGregor in an on-court bit, reports said.

It was apparently a staged bit for some painspray that Conor is a spokesperson for. Even if the first punch gets mostly air from the mascot's large head, maybe the mascot falling right on the back of his head is what sent him to the ER. Or maybe the finish him style punch once the mascot is on the ground had some impact on going to the ER?
What an odd thing to agree to have as entertainment during a break in the play. Its the NBA finals...the Heat couldnt find anything better to fill the time? Just have some 4 year olds race to see who can dunk the most times on a LittleTykes basket in 15 seconds. Everyone will love it, though kids that age cant walk worth a damn and there would still likely be an ER visit.
Hmm.
I guess show hot women in the stands on the jumbotron and be done.
