Most people would not react like that to a NBA player trying to take a ball away from them at a NBA game. They would just hand it over. It doesn't take much to figure out what his reasons were for not doing so. He knew what Jokic was attempting to do.

Show the full clip. Ishbia doesn’t know Jokic is there until he feels the basketball getting tugged away. he reacted the way you might expect when someone catches you by surprise.
Most people standing literally right next to a player who barreled into the stands and into a few fans will probably, oh I don’t know… help the player and fan up. And that is obviously what ishbia was doing. His left arm is literally hooked around the fan and he is trying to help him up as he’s holding the basketball in his right arm. This happened within split seconds. Everything points to him reacting out of surprise in an instant, not some premeditated bratty move.
