On December 13, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. Earlier today, the NBA officially issued a fine. For abusing opposing fans during the game, Nets star Durant was fined $25,000!
It happened in the Nets' last game to beat the Hawks. At that time, Durant had a verbal altercation with the fans during an attack.
One fan shouted at Durant: "Don't complain! Durant! Durant, stop crying!) Durant shot back unceremoniously, "Shut your stinky mouth, XXX(Shut yo ass up, motherf*****)"
Unfortunately, Durant's profanity was captured on camera and uploaded to social media. So the NBA made a decision to fine him.
Interestingly, Lakers star Howard has also recently encountered verbal abuse from fans. According to Thunder reporter Andrew Schlecht. During the Lakers' away win over the Thunder, Howard heard a Thunder fan behind him verbally abusing him during a timeout. Howard's response was this: "I can smell your bad breath from here, you really stink." Howard then threw the fan a chewing gum.
Compared with Durant, Howard's approach is undoubtedly more appropriate, although it does not use dirty words, but it is more forceful for fans to fight back, and the most important thing is to avoid being fined.
