Mason Plumlee makes up with young fans he scared during DeAndre Jordan fight
Men who are nearly 7-feet tall can be quite intimidating to children who are about three feet shorter than that. It’s easy to understand, then, why two men of that stature nearly getting into a fist-fight made two young Portland Trail Blazers fans who were sitting courtside feel uneasy.
Mason Plumlee and DeAndre Jordan got into a shoving match during the Los Angeles Clippers’ win over the Blazers Thursday night, and Plumlee ended up falling into the lap of a young fan. The boy looked terrified:

Fortunately, someone with the Blazers realized what had happened. In order to make it up to the fan and his brother (presumably), the team arranged for the two boys to meet Plumlee after the game.

All is well that ends well. Had the two young fans seen videos like this one, they would not have been surprised Jordan was involved in a scuffle. Still, two guys that big fighting on my lap would probably scare me, too.
