Nets fan Jeffrey Gamblero takes off prosthetic leg, carried out by security
A well-known Brooklyn Nets fan was carried out of Madison Square Garden by security on Tuesday night after he reportedly became “unruly” and was causing a disturbance with other fans.
Jeffrey Gamblero, who is known for his neon clothing and dance moves that are often shown on the Barclays Center video board, was described by one fan as being “obnoxious and yelling,” according to ESPNNewYork.com.
One fan posted a video on Instagram during the game of Gamblero being carried out.
SB Nation rounded up a bunch of tweets from fans who were sitting near Gamblero at the time he was kicked out. Some say he used his prosthetic leg as a weapon and took it off in an attempt to protest being ejected.
Guy got bounced @ the game for putting his prosthetic leg on his head and fighting with security and all Knicks fans… Brooklyn #knicks

MSG staffer says that the Nets super fan that was kicked out without his prosthetic leg was ejected because he had hit somebody with it.

Others claimed Gamblero was simply being loud, and one fan insisted Madison Square Garden security escalated the situation.
Whatever the case, this will likely go down as one of the most bizarre incidents at MSG this season.
