Donte DiVincenzo was caught on camera telling a fan to shut up during the Knicks’ loss to the Bulls on Friday.
The fan, who was sitting on the right side of United Center, shouted at the New York guard midway through the game, telling him to tuck in his jersey.
DiVincenzo, visibly annoyed by the comment, turned around and gave the fan a piece of his mind.
His R-rated response drew laughter and howls from other audience members. “Come on, you can do better!” one shouted.
The original heckler, who also appeared to film the clip, continued to rile DiVincenzo by reminding him that he was flouting NBA rules.

“I mean, it’s a rule in the NBA,” they shouted. This time, however, the Knicks player did not respond.
Official NBA rules state that “players must keep their uniform shirts tucked into their pants during play, and no T-shirts are allowed.”
DiVincenzo scored 10 points – his lowest total since Jan. 17 – while Javonte Green had 25 points and 13 rebounds for his first career double-double to help the Chicago Bulls to a 108-100 win.
Chicago (37-40) moved one game ahead of the Atlanta Hawks for the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference and home field advantage in a play-in tournament game.
New York (45-32) remained tied with the Orlando Magic for the fourth-best record in the East.
The Bulls never trailed while overcoming the third consecutive double-double for New York’s Jalen Brunson, who had 35 points and 11 assists.
