In the fourth quarter of Miami’s loss to the Lakers on Sunday, Heat guard Josh Richardson was ejected for throwing his shoe into the stands. He was unhappy that a foul wasn’t called on a dunk attempt that knocked his shoe off.
Richardson couldn’t get his shoe back on his foot and when he was benched so he could get the shoe back on, he decided to throw the shoe into the stands.
You can’t do that. The referees saw Richardson’s toss and tossed him.

Richardson learned the hard way to keep his temper tantrums contained on the Heat bench. Once things start flying into the seats there will be trouble.
