he's lucky, gay people wanted his balls

wtf at people thinking it's ok too fine someone 100k+ for saying something.

Fck you p u s s i e s!

[QUOTE=Kensta]Kobe got popped 100k

Noah 50k

I think Noah should at least get fined for the same amount but definitely not lesser.[/QUOTE]

damn, kobe go hit harder than I thought.

If Kobe got 100 directed towards and official, It seems logical Noah would get more if directed towards a fan. But what in the NBA is logical.

Both fines are outrageous, just to make my position clear.

Kobe makes 20+ million a year. noah only gots 20 million.

My first thought was that they can't go backwards after Kobe was fined $100,000...but Kobe makes a lot more money. Do you think fines should be assessed as a standard amount, or as a percentage of the players salary?

hope Kobe gets a $50,000 refund. :lol

Was Kobe's game on ABC? I can't remember..

He got fined and warned..most importnat

now move the fu*k on

Noah is a nobody, Kobe is a worldwide superstar.

It makes sense, but Noah shouldn't be talking sheit about anyone, dude bangs his own sister.

Next time say Punk/Asshole/*****/douche etc?

Calling the official a fa**ot is different from doing the same to a fan. It does not help that Kobe's language was heard by millions of viewers.

fines are not based on salary, only suspensions (I know that's not what you meant)

and Noah just got a 50 or 60 million dollar extension :lol

But there shouldn't be varying degrees of penalties for the same offense, what is this, the NFL?
