Mistakes in the past should be continued? Maybe the NBA is going to use this incident with its most high profile person as a valuable lesson while also pacifying parts of its fan base in an era where bad publicity spreads like wildfire? That seems too crazy though. Has to be a NWO conspiracy.

Kobe is STILL wrong. He said those words with malice intent @ Mr. Ref. Simple as that. Nothing further. What I have called others has NO relation to this situation. It might make me a hypocrite, but it doesn't make what Kobe did any less wrong. That is what I think most of you are missing.

I am not even focusing on the amount of the fine. It does seem excessive but I think most of that is because of the negative press it is bringing Mr. Stern's organization. (NBA).

BS.....its called consistency, i bet da union gets that fine reduced HEAVILY

so by that logic if puff daddy catches a speeding ticket, their gonna slap him with a 10,000 dollar fine because he's a "high profile" person?

and its gonna set a valuable lesson

to other motorist not to speed?

some of you are acting like kobe is out there burning gay flags
and trying to compare this to the n-word, just stop

Not that serious, not that serious, not that serious?
You serious brah?

If a white player conducted himself in this type of behavior by shouting a racial slur to a ref you guys would be on some black panthers type iish.
But since of course it's directed to gays it's not that serious.
People stating their opinion of why Kobe is in the wrong is because we think he's out there burning gay flags?
Why not compare it to the nword? Because it offends you? I'm assuming that you are black.

da ONLY REASON this is news worthy is because he got hit with a 100k, had it been something thats CONSISTENT with fines of that sort no one would've cared

c'mon b...100k for calling someone something thats wasn't said in someone's face...that couldn't even be heard on television? yeah.....excessive

I agree consistency needs to be upheld. When this Kobe news came out, the FIRST thing I thought about was KG and Kenyon. But as I said, because this situation is getting so much negative press, Stern might have felt pressure to pt down the hammer.

I know this is a different topic at this point, but they just fined Phil and the lakers 75k a pop for comments about collective bargaining. David Stern is getting outta line.

Do the police govern the institution that pays Puff's salary? He's not their employee so they can't do that. David Stern can.
