Kevin Durant fined 25k for "menacing gesture"

kevin durant is a fake tough-guy. Would LOVE to see him do that in the face of ben wallace/charles oakley

Why are people acting surprised?? There's a rule against doing any throat slash motion. Durant did a throat slash motion.

Therefore he's fined.

What can't you comprehend?

Stern has gone full retard. No one even noticed the gesture, by fining him you are bringing attention to it. How stupid can they get?

LOL Ben Wallace could rebound but he basically had autism on the count. Oakley was at least a tough guy. LOL you couldn't have posted more of a dipshit statement than you did without writing something like you used to shove Ken dolls up your ass while watching Garfield cartoons.

Wow.

In the NBA's case, they're attempting to appease White America. The NBA doesn't want their predominantly African-American league to be considered full of "thugs."

Which is funny, because back in the day, players used to fight all the time without huge fines and long suspensions. This was as recent as the 80s and early 90s. Hell, in the 50s and 60s, I've read about players going in the stands after rowdy fans. Of course, the league was mighty white way back then.

First of all the gesture was NOT menacing. KD is a fake, scrawny tough guy ... the gesture itself, compounded by the DUMB explanation from Durant made it even cornier.

He's really reaching for his own signature moment.

MJ had the fist pump, jump in the air leg kick, the shrug, and shook his head in defiance after big shots.

Kobe has the Kobe teeth scowl, and smoking guns. As well as aping Jordan's mannerisms, Sam Cassell's "big balls" dance and Jason Terry's "jet"

LeBron has the pissed Game 6 "Soon" face, and the push it down take the chest gesture after a big shot.

Durant's is corny, and trying way too hard.

Actually its kobe and lebron that are fake tough guys. Arrogant players but I havent seen them thrown punches.

Are you familiar with Roger Goodell? I've got bad news for you man.

Oh and not to derail the thread, but who thinks the NFL is the best sport outside of a few select cities in the US?

Few select cities? Try the majority of U.S. cities. The NFL owns this country.

Of course I shoved them up my ass, but you're the one that licked the dolls clean.

Not sure, but is it possible he was crossing himself? Aint KD a religious guy?

[Budadiiii]

I for one was insulted by the gesture. Stuff like that doesn't have a place in this league.

I lost a lot of respect for Durant after that, and I know a majority of his fans feel disrespected and hurt by his behavior.

Putting your hand up to your throat and going across it with the intent to disturb the viewers is absolutely sickening. It's a shame.

25K? Really? It doesn't make sense. How this isn't at least a 100K fine is beyond me.

Man... the league is losing it's integrity. We're in the dark days folks. The NBA is headed for a desolate future.
