The softest league in all of sports was at it again Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

The NBA is back, baby! And with it, comes all the flops, fouls, tantrums and load management your heart desires. What a sport. It's just unrecognizable at this point.

Let's dive in.

During the third quarter of Wednesday's Kings-Lakers game, a fan sitting behind the basket got berated by LA star Luka Doncic for throwing the ball back to the ref ... too hard ... after it trickled out of bounds.

That's right. "Too hard." Wait until you see this chest pass this fan launches at this female NBA ref. Better yet, wait till you see the absolute tantrum Luka throws after he sees it.

Naturally, the fan was ejected.

Take a look, and you be the judge:

What are we doing here?

"He just tossed it really strong — the ball — toward the ref. I just asked him what the hell he's doing."

Thoughts? First impressions?

To me, this is insane. You wanna talk about an overreaction. My goodness. What are we doing here? When I saw this clip going viral on social media last night, I expected fireworks. I figured this fan picked up the ball, crow-hopped, launched the ball with all of his force, and the ref would've went flying through the air.

I thought, at the very least, she would've fell to the ground because of how hard the pass was.

That's how Luka reacted, so that's what I expected.

And then I watched it. And then I watched it again, assuming I missed something. Nope. That was it. Just a simple chest pass to the ref.

And it got this dude EJECTED from the game! Seriously. They threw him out of the arena for that. All because Doncic deemed the pass "really strong."

Give me a break. I play catch with my toddler in the back yard more aggressively than that, and she can't catch a cold.

"But Zach, he was defending the ref!"

Defending her from what? The most textbook chest pass in the history of time? Grow up.

What a time to be alive.
