The NBA just tagged Cuban with a $25,000 fine for criticizing the refs after Denver’s controversial 103-101 win over Dallas. But the interesting thing is that this time he didn’t spout off to a TV station, he didn’t complain to a radio station, he didn’t bitch to a newspaper. Nope, this time Cuban used high technology to earn his fine – he Twittered his complaint.
What was the notoriously hot-headed Cuban’s bitch? He thought a Denver player should have been called for coming off the bench to taunt one of his Dallas players. In an earlier game between the two teams, Cuban was fined another $25,000 for complaining about the officiating.
The good news is that Cuban has so much money that he can laugh about these $25,000 fines. As he said in another Twitter post, “can’t say no one makes money from twitter now. the nba does.”
We think the NBA should reconsider. Cuban also owns the HDTV network, which makes him Dan Rather’s boss. Isn’t that punishment enough?
