YouTuber JiDion has apparently been banned from all NBA-related events following a prank during which he filmed himself sleeping at a WNBA game.
The prankster, whose real name is Jidon Adams, attended a Los Angeles Sparks game this week and, took up several courtside seats as he pretended to sleep, decked out in pajamas, blankie and all.
His YouTube video shows him getting warned by security before getting thrown out of the game all while complaining about sleep apnea. You could see a bit of it in the video below:
After being taken outside, the YouTuber is told he is no longer allowed on WNBA premises and, asked whether he’s “only banned from WNBA games,” he’s told that he’s prohibited from attending “all NBA-related events.”
The security personnel also told Adams they would be reaching out to the NFL too.
The NBA hasn’t commented on the matter.

This was not JiDion’s first offense either. He once got a haircut at an NBA game and, just a few days earlier, was kicked out of a Minnesota Lynx game for shooting the basketball (and missing badly) after he caught it when it went out of bounds.
Sadly, the incident has led to fans posting the sleeping emoji on almost all of the posts coming from the official WNBA Instagram account, forcing the league to limit comments on its posts.
