N.1.A.K. Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Stephen-Jackson-is-fined-after-being-spied-upon;_ylt=Aops9uTLAVeNW4vGL5fyet68vLYF?urn=nba-283422 If you don't want to click the link here's a short version. Waling off the floor after his team had lost a game, Jackson was seen either talking to himself or a teammate/coach about the poor officiating. A camera caught him and the film was used to lip read his complaints about the officiating.... which lead to the $50K fine. Outrageous right? The NBA says they have video proof of Jackson going off on the refs while he is going towards the locker room... but he's going off on refs that were nowhere near earshot, nor were his words directed towards any game official. Seriously.... WTF. Edited November 8, 2010 by N.1.A.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
