    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK, June 7 -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Gary Payton has been fined $5,000 for failing to make himself available to the media, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President Basketball Operations.

    Payton failed to make himself available to the media following Game 1 of the 2004 Finals last night at STAPLES Center and again this afternoon at the media availability following the Lakers practice at STAPLES Center. </div>


    I dont see why the Lakers do that. Talk all the trash then when they loose they want to get all crazy and be all mad. [​IMG]

    If had that kind of performance in game 1, I wouldn't want to talk to the media either.[​IMG]
