Honestly, worth it.
Don’t worry Kelly I got you in separate payments due in 25 years
Damn, Kelly is on a minimum contract. How will he survive 😕
You a bitch, you a bitch, you a bitch, you’re alright and you a bitch. Fuck it I’m out.
How much were the officials fined for getting the call on the last play of the game wrong? Oh nothing? Cool.
Best 50k Kelly has ever spent
For 50k? Fuck it I’d do it again.
Damn, that’s 8333 dollars per bitch.
I’m still wondering why he only called one of the refs Mom a bitch. What does he know???
Wtf how did nurse get the same amount as “you bitch you bitch your mom’s a bitch”
hello yes i am the place where you pay your fines mr oubre and mr nurse
I don’t think it’s fair to fine people for speaking in Philadelphia’s native language.
Free Kelly he didn’t do anything wrong
$16.6k per “you a bitch” is actually an incredible deal. I expected more.
More punishment for telling someone they were wrong than actually being wrong.
Worth
Thought Oubre would have gotten hit harder, honestly.
Color me surprised.
That’s 10k per “bitch”
The NBA admits the refs made a mistake and then the Sixers have to pay $100k for that mistake. Very cool
What was obscene about KO’s gesture? He was professionally directing who and which parent was deemed a bitch
The statement leaves out why the incident occurred.
Never forget when rookie Scottie Barnes held his 52 year old coach back from going after the refs. I miss this man.
You’re cool, you’re cool, fuck you
If Nurse is getting this pissed you probably have a reffing problem
but gobert got 100 for rolling his fingers 💀
Kelly was only showing them some of that brotherly love
But refs get no punishments for fixing games. Smh
Poor referees. They’ll just have to dry their tears with their sports betting earnings.
How is this fine smaller for Oubre than Gobert’s money gesture fine?
Fucking soft ass bums! Stand by your shit bitch
League is soft as shit,only Silver’s NBA, I remember back in the day when a plumber could snake an official’s urethra after a missed call and no one batted an eye.
Sir, two $50,000 fines have hit the 76ers
Pretty cheap considering a whole bloodline was designated as bitches
As a society we need to take a chill pill with what we use the word “abuse” for
The People’s Champ
Normally I do not like the 76ers but good on them!!!
It’s okay. God will pay Kelly’s fine.
Time for more legit folks in the NBA to start calling out sports betters and get sports betting the hell out the NBA.
“NBA PR” they aren’t doing a very good job with managing the league now are they. Everybody knows these refs are rigging games. Honestly fuck the modern NBA
Fining the players is okay.
Don’t fine the officials…AUDIT THEM.
They can make more off gambling then any fine or missed playoff games. The only thing to correct this is coughing up the cash to audit the refs that have any inkling of a bias and then prosecute if anything is found. That is the only thing that will be fair.
The players are losing control of their emotions. Some refs are (likely) engaging in serious criminal behavior. It’s not the same, one should have a job performance consequence, the other should be the criminal justice system.
Some NBA refs ought to be getting fitted for Orange Uniforms. The last tome they were investigated Donaghy got caught NBA shut it down at one. Time to look again !!
Both of these are strangely smaller than Gobert questioning Scott Foster, a ref that Tim Donaghy made 134 phone calls to during his betting scandal and who is still in the league.
So you can insult a ref’s entire family, but don’t you dare suggest a man at the center of a gambling scandal is still rigging games. Got it.
I know these mfs are rich as hell but I’m inclined to set up a gofundme to recoup the fines for them lmao, doing gods work
You mean to tell me the rigged game is actually rigged! Omg!
