I remember there was some player my lil cousin wanted to take a pic with. The player ignored him. As my cousin walked away, he looked back and saw that same player pat a white kid on the hair and say "Hey, little guy!", took a pic with him and gave him his game worn shoes


You a wild one buck

This is as hypocritical from the league as it was when it pretended to care about flopping for like 20 games a couple seasons back. The only way players will go back to caring about paying all the games is if it directly affects THEM salary-wise. Teams could care less and will happily eat those fines. If players are affected trust that they will be out there.

They should face a fine of 1 million dollars for every healthy player they sit out. If an All-Star player is rested while healthy, the fine should be 5 million. The penalties need to be serious, otherwise, this kind of thing will continue. Fans should be the priority. Attending an NBA game costs a lot, and fans deserve to see healthy players on the court.

I agree

Maybe the nba shouldn't put like 5 games in 7 nights out of allstar break and shut

players wanted that week off for all star and they got it

Is the $100k the entire fine cuz if so, that's like you getting a parking fine of $1. Literally not gonna deter them at all. Add a zero and make it for each player and they may reconsider

Jokic got to sit on his as while the thunder played an extra game ( the cup) this season so confused how two situations are comparable.

Furthermore people who participate in asw don't get a week off, they get 2 -3 days

make them give up that sixers pick. its the only way to teach them a lesson

I know you got ulterior motives with this post but the loss of a first round pick with the current cap structure in today's league would absolutely stop this dead in it's tracks.
