Good job Dime, couldn’t have happened to a better person. I’d love to punch that fag in the mouth.
It’s kind of unfair though, there have been a lot more players saying stupider shit.

Pretty soon the league is going to prevent everyone from saying anything that is on their minds…This is why 99% of player interviews are boring…

This is pretty damn ridiculous. If the league is going to fine Jack for his comments, there are plenty of other players who should be lumped into this dumbass decision. But we all know certain folks won’t get in any trouble for the crap they say/do. This sort of behavior (requesting to be traded) should be handled by the TEAM and not by the LEAGUE. I feel like the league (and Stern in particular) are gunning for Jack, just as they gun for Artest…

It’s completely bass-ackward that saying, effectively, “I don’t want to play for this loser of an owner” is detrimental to the NBA while BEING that loser of an owner is not???

Isn’t this the same with Iverson’s issue? (kind of) All NBA (actuallt Stern) wants is a league where he has power similar to martial law.
Stern’s actions are hypocritical and biased. Maybe we should have a petition to have a black commissioner. lol
