Sunday’s matchup between the Toronto Tempo and New York Liberty got pretty chippy. So chippy, in fact, that a sneaker was thrown at Toronto’s Marina Mabrey.
Here’s how the situation played out throughout the game:
Betnijah Laney-Hamilton was ejected for the shoe toss. This is now one of the most iconic sneaker-throwing moments since George W. Bush had a pair of shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi reporter.
The Tempo had the last laugh when everybody’s sneakers were returned to their feet, pulling out a tough 93-91 win that moved them to 10-13 on the season. New York fell to 13-11.
