    it was a pretty weak celebration. I'm not surprised he got a fine for a throat slashing gesture, but 25 grand. :eek:

    That was sick!

    The NBA is so sensitive... Do they want the players to be robots out there?

    Yeah, you could see this coming. He's just not a celebration-dance kind of player, and he's best when he acts like it's business as usual. Some friend gave him really bad advice on that one.

    The gesture was so lame -- immediately made thousands of viewers think LOLWUT.

    Oh dang I didn't notice he did that from the other view during the game. I thought he did like a chinese kung fu move or something. 25 grand! I could buy a new car with that money. Hell, some people make that much in a year.

    I honestly would not be too surprised if the "friend" that gave him advice was nike considering their campaign.

    It wasn't to another human being, and it wasn't even a big gesture.

    It wasn't even medium. I guess the people in charge thought that, being a nationally televised game, some people who watched it on TV would be offended?

    25,000 is nothing to durant, plus all the help from the NBA refs, its time to pay back to the NBA

    durant is not that nice, seen him play dirty against the jazz

    [Stern Cleaning Up] Durant fined 25K for a "menacing gesture"

    I dunno bout you guys, but man that gesture sure got me terrified like nothing else. No place for that in the NBA. Think about the children. The Children!!
