Original, incorrect image description:
A basketball player holds the ball high at the edge of the court during a match, while an opponent tries to block him. The player holding the ball is surrounded by adoring fans painted and garbed in his team’s colours, who reach towards him, shouting.
Correct explanation:
So this isn’t a picture of fans trying to touch one of their heroes… this is a picture of a hostile fan base trying to intimidate a rival player. Duke-UNC is one of the biggest rivalries in all of college basketball, and those are Duke fans trying to fuck with a UNC player during the game. (by @zigmus64)
