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

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

players wanted that week off for all star and they got it
And plus doesnt seem like nikola jokic has a problem with it :yeshrug:

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.
