    Man I hate Stern. He's a effing control freak. I hated that b*stard ever since he stole the Dallas series from us. No question in my mind he directed to refs to call fouls on Yao. He is a prick amoung pricks and he can fine me all he wants.

    I don't understand how you can fine someone for comments like that. Do you give up your right to freedom of speech in a NBA contract?

    Comon dudes! Stern's actually a nice guy. In most dictatorships in this world, you'd get fined AND SHOT for comments like that.

    He did censor the word refs lol. He can try to argue it say he was talking about NCAA March Madness.

    wow. that's ridiculous, but couldn't say I didn't see it coming. So how does the league find out about this stuff? The NBA just checks people's twitter accounts and make them pay them money for making a comment on their? Might as well fine everyone for saying the NBA is a JOKE!

    props to him. He shouldn't get fined for telling the MF truth. The league is a $$$ and superstar league.. if you don't have one.. you don't get the other.

    Stern would still probably fine him even if he was talking about Kentucky lol. His reasoning? Basketball reasons
