Detroit Pistons GM Troy Weaver Threatens To Kick Heckler's A** Amid Miserable Season (VIDEO)

Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver had a heated run-in with a fan Saturday night after losing to the Dallas Mavericks, 142-124. 

Weaver's conduct fell short of the orderly behavior expected from executives in pro sports.

In a viral video of the incident, the GM is heard threatening the Detroit fan wearing Red Wings merch.

Troy Weaver got into it with the heckler who seemingly blamed Weaver for Detroit's miserable year. At the game, Weaver pointed out the fan and had him escorted out of Little Caesars Arena. 

"You're lucky I don't beat your a**," Weaver said to the fan.

The Pistons are 70-229 under Weaver's guidance.

Speaking with ESPN, a bystander, 46-year-old Jeffrey Calloway, gave an account of the heckler's exchange with Weaver.

"The guy that was in the incident, with the Red Wings stuff on, came over and was pointing at the scoreboard earlier in the game," Calloway told the outlet Sunday. "Troy Weaver just shrugged his shoulders and said, 'OK,' and the guy went back to his seat."

The Pistons season-ticker holder added, "When [Jalen] Duren got ejected [midway through the fourth quarter], the guy came back and told him that he was terrible at his job. Then, Troy Weaver was telling the fan he had to leave and that's when ushers or security walked over."
