Lol the sequel
Couldn’t even let this one slide after Murray gets away with it Game 2 smh
Wasn’t he recently fined 100k for the same thing? Is this like a discount for his second like a BOGO 25% off?
Wild that the league didn’t even mention Murray making the same gesture in the same series.
Should have just thrown something at the ref.
I’m sure they will get a fair whistle tonight.
Mf pushed Murray in the back so obviously and had the audacity to throw up money signs lmao
looked enough like oui oui that i woulda just argued that
Didn’t Murray do this too and not get fined?
That’s so rude. He just had a baby for gosh sakes! How is he supposed to buy diapers now
Wait. Like again?
Next time its 50k
Murray and Rudy are flirting vs harassment meme for consequences doing stuff against the refs
Did it for the most obvious foul
So by the NBA’s logic with the Murray decision, making a money sign at a ref is 75% as bad as throwing multiple objects on the court during play.
deserved was a obvious foul but Murray didn’t get the same treatment something’s has to be done every single part of this game has gotten noticeably inconsistent from calls to fines like bro wtf is wrong with this league
Funniest part about this is he did it after committing a very obvious foul
So, throwing things on the court is a $25k fine.
The NBA 1000% has an integrity problem.
I genuinely don’t understand why the owners that care aren’t just setting up back door deals with these dudes. They’re billionaires, they obviously know how to filter money around with out it being traced. But man, I’d just be getting my players/coaches completely going off in press conferences with assurance that the fine will be paid back in full
Does this mean the towel & heat pack tosses combined cost Murray only $25,000?
Damn. I could remodel my whole fucken backyard restrooms and maybe kitchen for that. And this dude got to pay a fine for rubbing fingers together lol. NBA money is insane
League office and inconsistency, name a better duo
Should of thrown a heat pack on the court, only 25k
I’m not questioning the league’s integrity, Mr. Silver. I’m denying its existence.
He could’ve thrown an object on the court for just 25k more! Great deal
On the one hand he did it after an obvious foul, but on the other the fact that Murray did the same thing and got no fine as well as a few other things (Ant stare down tech, Murray heat pack not leading to a suspension or even tech) do make me somewhat suspicious of the leagues integrity.
* Rudy Gobert, on March 10, 2024, was fined 100K for making inappropriate gesture questioning the integrity of officials
* Jamal Murray, on May 8, 2024, was fined 100K for throwing objects onto the court. He was also seen making the same inappropriate gesture but this was not stated as a reason for the fine
* Rudy Gobert, on May 14, 2024, was fined 75K for making inappropriate gesture questioning the integrity of officials
Make it make sense
Didn’t Murray do the same thing?
The hilarity of this whole situation is that this dumbass fine combined with the Murray fine makes me question the leagues integrity more than anything else.
If he makes the gesture 3 more times he’ll be at a $0 fine!
“The integrity of the league” has been in question for a while.
Well, the integrity of the league and its game officials IS questionable.
There may have been questionable calls in all the games, but the one he did this one was 100% NOT quistionable. lmaoo
The refs are 100000% rigging games? More the spread than the outcome but cmon. Anybody who’s watched two games can tell
