The fine comes after the basketball superstar was suspended one game for hitting Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart in the face and drawing blood

LeBron James was fined US$15,000 for an obscene gesture Friday by the NBA, which also warned the Lakers superstar about using profane language.

James made the gesture after making a shot late in Los Angeles’ 124-116 overtime victory in Indiana on Wednesday night. Late in the fourth quarter, he performed a celebration dance that has been associated with former NBA player Sam Cassell. He had missed a loss at New York a night earlier after he was suspended one game for hitting Detroit center Isaiah Stewart in the face and drawing blood last Sunday. He used profanity in his postgame interview after the victory in Indiana when discussing the suspension.This content appears as provided to The Globe by the originating wire service.

This is how you hand out fines; the richer the higher. This should be in every field of human idiocy; In Finland they do it in traffic offences. One super rich AH, driving a Ferrari caught speeding was fined 75.000 dollars for the offence. Now that felt like a fine to him.

LBJ:'There goes the presents for my kids...''(conti. to weep...like a baby!)
