    OMGZ, the NBA is after it's NBA icon and legend coach, it's a conspiracy, the NBA is purposely going after it's best player, coach and NBA franchise on purpose! Why? I don't know! This is ridiculous! OMGZ.

    Figures. He opened his mouth, he got sued. It was deserved (or at least as deserved as the other fines the NBA hands out these days).

    I don't see why someone can be fined for openly criticising the league...Rather Nazi germany like JKBut players and coaches should be able to speak their mind.

    50k ain't too bad for a coach that makes what? 10 million a year? but still, Jackson was right. The NBA is going ape sh*t over nothing.
