Cousins moving one spot up

 

[sea manup]

of course klove wont come to la if hes the only superstar, i would hate if that happened it would be a waste of his prime and our money

the whole sales pitch is that we would build a team around him and one other superstar

 

[noblekane]

if it wasnt for china dwight or lin would miss it completely

man kobe or paul better play.

would be disgusting seeing jeremy lin start

NBA's Most Fined Players Ever..no surprises here

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

7. Metta World Peace
Someone who does make the list, though, is Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest. He picked up four fines from 2003 to this April, amounting to fees totaling $75,000.

6. Kevin Garnett
Next is Kevin Garnett, another highly fined athlete who notched five penalties from 2003 to April 2013, totaling a combined $85,000.

5. Kenyon Martin
Kenyon Martin takes the No. 5 spot with five fines in a 10-year period. The New York Knicks forward has incurred the same number of fines as Garnett, but his fees total $107,500, compared to Garnett’s $85,000.

4. Allen Iverson
Coming in fourth is Allen Iverson, thanks to the six fines he collected from 2003 to this April. Iverson has paid the NBA $87,500 for his unruly behavior.

3. Shaquille O’Neal
Getting closer to the top of the mountain, we come to Shaquille O’Neal, a retired superstar who racked up the same amount of fines, six, as Iverson, but paid a higher price for them — $145,000, in fact.

2. Stephen Jackson
Jackson comes in second place with his own six fines, but he takes O’Neal’s $145,000 and raises him $35,000, to $180,000.

1. Rasheed Wallace
Last — but unfortunately for him, definitely not least — is Rasheed Wallace. He rang up a solid eight fines for $205,000 during the 2003 to April 2013 period, and the now-retired pro baller has two significantly high fines to thank for contributing to that total. One such penalty came in April 2010, when Wallace was fined $35,000 for criticizing officials.

The title of that article is misleading and that information is incomplete



I found a better site that has fines and suspensions dating back to the 1994-1995 season:
http://www.eskimo.com/~pbender/fines.html

5/28/02
The NBA fined Cleveland $150,000 and suspended coach John Lucas for the first 2 games of next season for including high school junior LeBron James in a voluntary team workout. NBA rules prohibit teams from having contact with players not yet eligible for the NBA draft.

My bad, just did a quick google search. Thanks for clearing that up. Repped

No way the nba is letting lin start over harden, harden is gonna be leading lin in votes before the starting lineups get released

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

@ Love being from L.A. and Love airing out Barrea and Cunningham. Can't wait to see how those veterans respond.

Even if you didn't know that Love was in fact raised in L.O. a quick Google search would have pointed you in the right direction.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Bledsoe needs knee surgery.
