The incidents occurred after Green made 3-pointers with 5:33 and 5:12 left in Miami's 110-105 victory over Washington on Wednesday night. Green appeared to make gun and throat-slash gestures after each shot.

Doesn't westbrook holster his guns after every 3? This is dumb, even the NBA is super-PC now

[SpecialQue]

Looks like they're still super-touchy about that "thug" image that's been long gone.

Only scrubs get fined for this type of shit.

Green points forward while other players point in the air or ground when they shoot.

[BuffaloBill]

I think they're concerned with the throat slash afterwards more so than the gun gesture

[bluechox2]

yup

actually his shot made is the "gun shot" and him putting his guns (his arms) down is the other half of it...not exactly the same as shooting guns out at everyone around him as green and lebron has done...depicting a shooting rampage as we seen crackers do on tv

even melo is only promoting suicide, not murder with his 3 to the dome

[PHILA]

Barkley did the same in a playoff game vs. Seattle, only he was pointing at the refs.

Ask Gilbert Arenas about this

:biggums:

:facepalm

[VengefulAngel]

What the f has this league become?

:biggums:

[Real Men Wear Green]

NBPA should fight this, especially if there is no precedent or warning.

[bigkingsfan]

KD got fined 25k for throat slashing.

KD got fined 25k for throat slashing.
That's right, the throat-slash has been banned for a while now. I glossed over that part.

[Spurs m8]

gotta love lebron

I prefer my fave players to not act like dickheads tbh

[sammichoffate]

An inappropriate gesture would be a gang sign, but I bet the refs wouldn't even know it if they saw it :lol

[Al Thornton]

it's not menacing it's cute

[CarlosBoozer]

it's not menacing it's cute
:biggums:

[Tking714]

Because Green isn't a "nice" guy

[DoctorP]

it's not menacing it's cute

:lol

[Smook A.]

25,000 for THAT? And in the preseason? That's absurd. I've seen LeBron, Westbrook, and Joakim Noah do one of those like every game and they never get any problems for doing it :oldlol:

[FreezingTsmoove]

This isnt about the guns its about the throat slash. Its a very big deal in college sports also

[G-train]

lol

[Town's Town]

Where is Arenas when you need him?
