An ex-NBA referee named Rashan S. Michel waited in Philips Arena after the Hawks-Magic game last night just long enough to demand $12,500 from NBA Hall of Famer and Hawks analyst Dominique Wilkins.
As seen in the TMZ-branded video below, Michel confronted Wilkins, shoved him, punched a security guard, and judging from his mug shot, still got the worst of the damage:
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that Michel was the youngest NBA ref when he joined the ranks in 1997 at age 23, and he worked for some time in college and professional games. In 2001, he opened his own custom clothing company, and he alleges that Wilkins took unfair advantage of his shop over the years.
