That does hurt his case. I also hadn't considered he got a fine earlier this year for a threatening tweet. So, there's probably some repeat-offender-logic here. Still, that's a huge fine for a player. Stoudamire got as much for homophobic remarks on twitter. I don't know of anything else that big for a player.

It's like acting up in school and having to do an hour of after school suspension, idgaf. lol just remembered in HS if you were late a bunch of times you would have to stay after for and hour for 5 days at the end of the year, it didn't matter how many times you were late but after being late 5 times you had to do the after school, well I played Baseball so I was used to staying after to 7pm anyway so during my senior year I dont think I ever showed up on time in morning period. Always 30 minutes late, lmao, just remembering how much I should have cared. tldr: idgaf
Now I'm a janitor at a bar with my friends and live in a ****ty apartment with these damn cats coming around all the time.
Last night's Knicks game, JR tried unsuccessfully to untie Monroe's shoe! This guy is a moron. lol <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/-albPeVPCHA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I'm pretty sure 50k is a decent sum for JR Smith to stop touching people's shoe laces. That's at least 2 great nights out at the club he'll be missing out on.

Did Dwight Howard try to get JR back? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/AENAHckxKU0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
who are these players who don't double knot their shoes? you are about to play basketball; lace up tight.
Wtf, i'v never seen that move in my life. I can't believe a nba player would actually do that, not only is it insanely immature but it can be incredibly dangerous by causing a ankle roll.
I despise JR Smith, so I really want to see him do it again just to see what happens. Hoping for a junk-punch + fine + suspension.
Lmao, if that was howards retaliation thats hilarious. If thats him trying to do it first thats a b**** move.
Thanks to JR, I changed my shoelace knot to Double Slip knot or Ian's Shoelace knot. Source: http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm
I doubt JR Smith actually appreciates how much 50k really is, especially since he gets millions (saying he "earns" it would be the wrong word). It's rare to find players who aren't changed by the money.
The NBA fined the Spurs $250,000 after that time Pop rested his big 3 against Miami. That, imo, was the most ridiculous fine ever.
