    In other news, The NBA also fined a woman named Sasha Vujacic for walking onto the floor during a recent game.

    That is weak to fine him, but it isn't right for him to kick stuff into the crowd. The Landry fine is a bunch of BS.

    Looks justified to me. If they want to fine players for obstructing views of fans, and suspend players for whole seasons for punching fans, then kicking objects at fans is probably worth some cash.

    Well done! Well done, NBA. Way to let that WHINER CRYBABY know that's not the way to show frustration. IMMATURE. :eek:

    I think it would be weak to fine him if he kicked a water bottle and it didn't go in the stands but since it went in the stands I can see why he was fined.

    I usually don't agree with NBA and their fines, but this was a good call. If that bottle would have hit someone it could have been worse...

    I would think the fan would be happy. "OMG! I got this water bottle that was kicked by LEBRON JAMES!"

    That was also an obvious travel.

    Either travel or foul.

    He took 3 steps but you could argue that he got bummed on the way. I don't think it should be called a foul (from that angle) for Sessions grabbed the ball, just not strong enough to take it out of LeBron's hands.

    Anyway, the 3-step drive without dribble has become LeBron's signature move now. :grin:
