Any comedian will tell you that hecklers make it really difficult to do their job. Of course, if you’re doing anything in front of a crowd, dealing with people screaming at you is just part of the game — and no matter how annoying it is, you can’t let it get to you.

Someone who is now very familiar with this idea is DeMarcus Cousins. After people began throwing beer at him and heckling him, Cousins decided to respond by rubbing his hand on his balls, then shoving it in a fan’s face.

His suspension and subsequent contract termination would indicate that this wasn’t the right move.
