Mark Cuban, for the second time in a year, has been fined for his public criticism of game officials.
The Mavericks owner took out his frustration over two back-to-back losses on Twitter; the second loss–to the Hornets–was the straw that broke the camel’s back. He claims that the NBA’s review system is a giant waste of time.
“I’m sorry NBA fans,” Cuban tweeted. “I’ve tried for 13 years to fix the officiating in this league and I have failed miserably. Any suggestions? I need help.”
This time around, the penalty is $50,000, a far cry from the $250,000 he had to pay in 2006 after he complained about official calls during finals. It’s estimated that Cuban has spent well over a million bucks for his opinions.
Not happy that the spurs were fined more than the mavericks this year, Mark Cuban tries to catch up by blasting refs on twitter.
Im sorry NBA fans. Ive tried for 13 yrs to fix the officiating in this league and I have failed miserably. Any Suggestions ? I need help
@mcuban instead of posting that tweet, you could have just gave me the 25 grand for a new house! #Fined#DavidStern
