How much were the officials fined?

mcuban isn’t pathetic how everyone in sports is held accountable for their actions except officials and when you criticize them for their brutal efforts (at times) you get fined. They should come before the press just like players to answer how they officiated their games. NBA

Pocket change lol

I don’t think Mark Cuban will miss 500k

If there is anything ’detrimental’ to the NBA, it is poor officiating. It is the NBA that should be paying a fine & distributing ‘SORRY’ cards.

Detrimental? Wtf does that mean?

I’m sure he’ll dig through his couch cushions to cover the fine.

$500K? Isn't that a little excessive NBA?

United States of Corruption.

This guys a loser. Everytime I see an article about him hes getting fined

Half a mil 😬ouch

mcuban I applaud you for speaking your mind, knowing that it will hit your pocketbook. The quality of these sports need to be held to a very high standard, and gagging/punishing influential people who are trying to make it better only makes things worse in the end.

That’s 20% equity in that “Three socks at a time” business.

😳
