Didn’t Ant Edwards say “look at what the world has come to” about a group of gay people and get fined 45k but “no homo” gets you fined 100k? The NBA double standard is disgusting
Are you kidding me… that’s the same amount that Murray got fined for throwing a heat pack. Jokic made a joke like melo in similar vein and got fined a quarter of that amount.? Like it makes no sense.
Inflation is a bitch, Cam Thomas got fined 40k for saying this last year. Whatchu going to lamelo should know by now he shouldn’t be doing this 🤷🏻♂️ he got 200 mil so I think he’ll be ok
Seems high when cam thomas and jokic got fined smaller amounts for saying the same thing but at the same time there’s too many people on here and elsewhere pretending like he should just be allowed to say that in postgame interviews
I’d say he needs media training but this is so much funnier.
i love the guy but damn bro like is it that hard to not curse or say anything that’ll get you fined? Just massive low non basketball IQ but oh well
That’s ridiculously steep but hopefully the dude finally gets some much needed media training he’s terrible at interviews
Draymond Green could kick Jared McCain in the nuts and receive a lesser sentence
It is pretty easy to not use bigotted language. I mean… just don’t say that.
Next Post game interview:
So Melo, what did you think of your 62-point performance to beat the Cavs by 30?
*cuts to LaMelo in a three piece suit with a monocle*
“Madame, I now prefer to be called by my god-given name, LaMelonius. Let us discuss the intricacies of the contest in depth”
Not something that he should be saying, even though there was clearly no malice behind it at all.
Still though, way too heavy of a fine, especially compared to similar infractions from other players.

lmao was bound to happen eventually
What did he say?
He definitely has to do better but did he really say anything offensive?
E: so clearly he did.
