    Throwing objects only worth $25k, I guess. Seems worth it.

  2. AaronTheDakotan

    Would have been more valuable to have thrown a towel and heat pack during a play

  3. Formal_Junket_1585

    Good hopefully he plays like hes 7’1 260 today

  4. Knightbear49

    I guess it’s a crime to be Italian these days…

  5. blueindsm

    Yet there was no mention of the same act by Murray in his suspension release.

  6. JohnnyWeapon

    Calling it unprofessional is extremely hypocritical and ironic, in my opinion.

  7. Awkward_Attitude_886

    Honestly, isn’t this a romantic language expression? Like isn’t that their hand gesture of: wtf I can’t even keep my calm right now

  8. fataltacos

    That is fucking unbelievable. Murray does it and way worse and gets 100k? What a joke

  9. Murray did the same thing in game 2. He didn’t get a fine, did he?

  10. Jakoobus91

    Lol looking past the obvious bullshit that is this fine compared to Jamal’s how is the fine $75k now when it was $100k during the regular season? Who the fuck is coming up with these fines?

  11. BounceBros21

    But Jamal didn’t get fined???? Bro wtf is this league

  12. JayManDew

    Fined almost as much as Murray. What a joke

  13. verify_deez_nuts

    LMAO

    Rudy basically got a discount even though he’s a “repeat offender.”

    League office is inconsistent and a joke. But we knew that already.

    75 G’s right here…

  15. SpaceNugs

    The self awareness of the league is hilarious

  16. Jacque_Hass

    Dammit Rudy, next time just throw something at the ref

  17. GimmeJuicePlz

    Lol what a fucking joke. Murray didn’t get fined for doing the same thing, did he? But also, throwing shit directly under a player’s feet is almost just as egregious, apparently.

    Lol this is how you absolutely know the NBA fucked up with Murray. They’re fining Rudy less in the playoffs than in the regular season for the same exact gesture. So fkn dumb.

  19. PricklySquare

    Should have thrown some shit at Scott Foster… would have only been 25k more and all of NBA would cheer

  20. Important_Highway_40

    I’ll be honest, this time it didn’t seem like he was throwing up the money sign. More so a gesture like the Italians do 🤌🏾

    But that’s just me

    “Wolves Center Rudy Gobert has been fined for a gesture that question’s the integrity of the league officials. That same gesture Jamal Murray made wasn’t made with the *intent* to question the league’s integrity, ergo there is no fine in his case”.

    Is basically the summary of the NBA’s officiating in this series.

  22. zigzagman27

    Would’ve gotten a smaller fine for beating their wives

  23. bbernal956

    i was wondering if he was going to get fined again for doing the money gesture. he low key did it again

  24. GheeDota2

    Maybe if he keeps doing it, the fines will keep reducing, and he will be able to finally freely fancy finger sign. Be free, daddy frenchman

  25. MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

    Cool. Now do Murray. Fucking bozo league.

  26. Aggravating_Host6055

    Double standard with Murray doing the same damn thing game 2. Shits rigged

  27. Rage_r123

    Should have thrown something at the ref

    Would have only cost him an extra $25k

  28. bigticketbev21

    Game 2 heatpack/towel/money sign/freakout gettin a fraction of the punishment pretty much reinforces Goberts opinion… wtf guys. Also, Rudy dont do that.

  29. AssassinsLament

    So…. clown Murray does 3 things and gets 100k only, and Rudy does one of those three things and gets 75k…? Seems fair…. Silver is a joke.

  30. Taste_The_Sturgeon

    Fuck the NBA and fuck the officials
