Lol wow

New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith has been fined $50,000 for recurring instances of unsportsmanlike conduct, it was announced today by Rod Thorn, President, Basketball Operations.


During the Knicks’ 92-80 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Jan. 5, at American Airlines Center, Smith untied the shoelace of Mavericks’ forward Shawn Marion during a free throw attempt. After Smith was warned by the league office to refrain from further conduct of this nature, he attempted to repeat the action last night during New York’s 89-85 win over the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden.

For a professional athlete that's pocket change.

Lmao Can't believe he did that, but yeah 50k is way too much for what he did but that's not really much money to some who gets a salary of 2 million a year.

NBA player makes 24 millions a year, so 50k is peanuts compared to what they earn

5k isn't nothing to these guys, that's why the fines in the league are so high. His contract was probably like 35mil for so and so years.

Too much but he has to stop trolling. Lol

ummm no the avg salary fir NBA players is 5 million... only a handful of guys make 25 plus a year... jrsmith gets like 5 and a half a year after taxes lets just say 3 mil a year ... I dont care what anybody says 50,000 is a brand new BMW... 50,000 is 50,000 and its not like they get paid after they finish thier careers.( the average player ) so he'll be thinking about thise 50g's when his like in his 40's.... but its well deserved dude is a knuckle head.
