Sounds like Josh Smith feels bad for giving the finger to Charlotte Bobcats fans. He was very open and candid in an interview with a Boston reporter from hoopsworld.com:http://www.hoopsworld.com/article_20548.shtml
Guess he's starting to get some Ron Artest in him like when he stuck his finger to a fan in Miami after he shot his free throw a few years back. But then it's just his Emotional kicking it. It's all good, basketball is a very emotional game and your emotions can control you too.
It seems like a lot of emotion comes from his dad. I'd imagine that was a really tough phone call he had to make.
It's a way of growing up in the NBA. You lose your cool, you get frustrated with the way your team is playing (especially against a team you're supposed close enough to winning and winning it two straight). ANd you can't get something going to help encourage your teammates and then, you lose the game. How much was the fine? Was it $25,000? Ouch...
