That’s honestly less than I expected lol
Worth it.
Peanuts
That’s only 6k per technical from Ben Taylor this year.
The max they can fine for this is $35,000 so I’m surprised it was below that.
Best $30K he’s ever spent
Unrelated, Raptors ticket prices have gone up $1.50 per person for a single game.
the people’s champion
What’s the GoFundMe address?
Now he makes every other player step up and say something, dame and irving even said it. Now they are releasing new tech, replace the refs with robots they will do a better job…
Grange wrong again ^(/s)
Common Fred win. Would love to see some players back him on this
Should start a go fund me and let’s donate it to sick kids
The NBAPA better argue hard for more ref accountability in the next CBA.
Lmao Fred gunna get double Tech next game with Ben Taylor
Worth
Worth every penny!
Even the nba agreed with him
It’s worth commenting than keeping in silence when he knows there’s something really wrong going on. So who’s gonna back him up among the big players?
Ahhh…that fuck you money must feel good
For a second I thought that was 300 k
It was less than I expected, but that’s a good thing ofc
If enough players do it we might see some actual change.
But they probably won’t let’s be real.
I got $20 on it if there’s a way to get it to him or to a charity of his choice.
It’s good to see someone speak the truth about how bad the officiating can be
Next conference: “I got another $30k to spare.”
Worth every penny – FVV
So like 0.15 percent of his annual salary. Not nothing, but I would definitely pay that much to cuss out some people at my job.
