JiDion, a popular YouTube prankster, was ejected from a WNBA game after he attempted a shot from the crowd during the game between the Minnesota Lynx and the Dallas Wings on Wednesday. The streamer, who is known for his outrageous stunts at sporting events, grabbed the ball that rolled out of bounds and launched a shot that missed badly.
The prank did not amuse the security personnel, who escorted JiDion out of the arena and warned him that he might get a trespassing charge from the team. They also told him that he was not allowed to shoot the ball during the game. He then joked to the players on the court: "It was just a heat check. It was just a heat check."
In the same video, he showed himself sleeping on the courtside seats at a game between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Phoenix Mercury. He even brought a pillow and a blanket to make himself comfortable but was also kicked out of that game too and banned from all NBA-related events by the staff.
JiDion has a history of getting into trouble with his pranks at various sports venues. He has been charged with criminal trespassing after sneaking into a Texas University football game in April. JiDion's pranks have earned him over seven million subscribers on YouTube, but they have also landed him in hot water with the authorities and sports organizations. It remains to be seen if he will face any legal consequences for his latest stunt at the WNBA game.
