Fans familiar with the NBA know that every season the NBA official will issue a large number of fines, the reasons for punishment are generally various, and the amount of fines is mostly tens of thousands of dollars. It is precisely for this reason that most of the players in the NBA who take the basic salary need to be careful in words and deeds, otherwise a fine will make his life pressure greater. Of course, there have also been incidents in which the star of the house has helped his little brother pay the fine. And there are some players, and receiving fines has almost become a common thing.
Today, the NBA official issued another fine, and New York Knicks player Randall was fined $40,000 for using the first language against game officials after a game with the Jazz. And this ticket is already the fifth ticket Randall has received this season. Previously, Randall was fined 15,000 for taking the ball and throwing it in the audience, 25,000 for using inappropriate words in an interview, 25,000 for not giving an interview, and 50,000 for clashing with Cameron Johnson. Together with the technical foul fine, it totals $184,000, of which the Knicks have to bear $25,000 and Randall has to pay $159,000. That's higher than the annual salary of most WNBA players.
In the past, when he was with the Lakers, Randall had already shown some thorny attributes, but it was not so serious. Since becoming the core in the Knicks, Randall can really be said to have intensified, causing trouble at every turn. Probably because the salary is high, the confidence is enough. After helping the Knicks reach the playoffs last season, Randall got an early contract extension of $117 million for four years, and his annual salary has reached $19.8 million this season, so he probably doesn't pay attention to the fine. Just seeing Randle like this, the Knicks will not regret giving a contract extension too early.
However, Randall's reputation among fans is getting worse and worse. Although he averaged 20.3 points, 10 boards and 5.3 assists per game this season, the team shot only 41.3% from the field, only 30.7% from three-point range, and the team's record was even worse. Many fans have seen that he has been causing trouble and think that he is just incompetent and angry. Now Randall can really be said to be the big thorn in the NBA League. I just don't know how many tickets he will receive this season, and whether he will create a record of the most fines received in a single season in the NBA.
