Alan Dershowitz is a retired Harvard professor and one of the most famous lawyers on the planet. Alan Dershowitz is also the plaintiff in a lawsuit alleging that there weren’t enough paper towels in the men’s bathroom at TD Garden during a Celtics-Heat playoff game in 2012, which led people to shake their hands dry after washing them, which meant there was a puddle on the floor, which he slipped on, which caused him to sprain his MCL so badly that it’s still a problem three years later.

It’s all very strange! Here’s the strangest part, via The Boston Globe:
Dershowitz didn’t call for an ambulance right away, however. Though he “could not walk unaided due to the pain and injury to his knee,” Dershowitz “painfully and carefully returned to his seat, using the handrails for assistance,” to catch the fourth quarter of a playoff game between the Celtics and Miami Heat.
He kept watching! This means a conversation that amounts to:
“Dude, you went back to your seat instead of the hospital, it clearly wasn’t that bad.”
“I’M A REAL FAN! IT WAS A PLAYOFF GAME! [rips off shirt to reveal Celtics tattoo]”
... will probably happen. Good lawsuit, everyone.
