I apologize for your lost.

David Stern’s 10 most notorious fines and suspensions




Joe Smith (2000): Just 3 1/2 years removed from being the top overall pick in the draft, Joe Smith shocked the NBA by signing as a free agent with the capped-out Minnesota Timberwolves for just $1.7 million. In the two offseasons following, Smith signed similarly modest deals so as to work with league rules that would allow him a massive contract extension in 2001. Strangely, the Timberwolves actually wrote down Smith’s illegal, wink-wink contract, which was later revealed to the league in an unrelated court dispute. Smith’s contract was voided in late 2000, the Wolves were fined $3.5 million dollars, team general manager Kevin McHale was suspended for a season, and Minnesota lost draft picks in the 2001, 2002 and 2004 drafts, hindering the team during Kevin Garnett’s prime. – Kelly Dwyer

I was a low-key fan of the Wolves, in middle school (no team in New Orleans, yet) and didn't know about this.

You didn't know about the Joe Smith scandal? That's the source of my hatred for McHale and Taylor

I heard of it, of course, I just didn't understand the gravity of it.

I remember some sort of salary scandal.
The thing that's mindblowing about it is this.

That was a no-win situation. They got caught, lost picks, money, everything. If they didn't get caught, Joe Smith was gonna get a 7 year $94 mil contract. Honestly, which punishment is worse?

Brehs, I implore you, go back and watch the John Wall dance celebration on a hi-def tv. Notice how sweet reggie Jackson looks when he runs from the back of the stands past kyrie irving to watch John Wall. He has on the burgundy pants and comes our of nowhere and starts doing the Jamie foxx wanda face.



he sneaks up front at the 6 second mark but this doesn't it full justice because its blurry. This dude is hilarious.
