The NBA will fine Nets coach Jason Kidd $50,000 for his stunt with the dropped cup in loss to Lakers, league sources tell Yahoo.

LOL, $50 grand? GTFO

Yeah, that was a bad stunt, but $50 grand for that?

[Nick Young]

it was an accident doe

Kidds needs to retire from coaching. He should have been coaching in the YMCA.

Ya why not. Can't have other coaches doing it and Kidd was asking to be punished really. Today's cameras catch everything.

He was caught in the act. Stop defending his stupidity.

lmao jason kidd better turn it around soon

this season could really affect kids future. The decision to go straight to head coach means that if he continues to struggle like this and loses the job other teams will be reluctant to hire him even as an assistant.

That's a lot of money for some bs

as a coach he should know better and they need to set an example or else other coaches will start doing this. What happens if next year during the finals a team is down by 1 with 5 seconds to go in game 7 and the coach accidentally spills his drink on the court and gets to sort out a play that results in a game winner?

If he was smart he would have pissed himself and that would have needed cleaning up, a known alcoholic and drug user not having full control of his bladder would have the same result without the fine

True.

Pissed himself?

They need to start fining floppers this much so they'll stop

[flipogb]

he simply got caught and the NBA was forced to do something. all the announcers and the players seem to know of this trick so it isn't new. Kidd just did a bad job of hiding it and got caught by the camera.

why not piss himself? The NBA would have cut away quickly and avoided mentioning it and he would have gotten away with it, it isn't as if they'd go "oh look jason kidd has pissed all over the court" on the commentary.

[Big Cheese]

its his fault for making it look so damn obvious he needs to brush up on his acting skills.

it was an accident doe
