Tim Duncan fans weren’t happy after MMA star Luke Rockhold’s coach Jason Parillo thwacked the San Antonio Spurs on the head, albeit jokingly.
Duncan was seen interacting backstage with Rockhold during an MMA event in San Antonio, and while the two shared a hilarious moment grappling with each other, Parillo, who made an attempt to get the better of Duncan, just slapped him on the head and walked off. Needless to say, this ticked off fans.
The video sees Duncan and Rockhold play a wrestle, and the former appeared to be the one winning that battle as he joked around with a smile on his face. Parillo soon jumped in on the action and tried his best to take on Duncan, only to fail.
Soon after, he just smacked the five-time NBA champion and appeared to run off. Duncan was seen sharing a big laugh, despite Parillo’s shot implying that he didn’t take the whole thing too seriously.
