Milwaukee Bucks forward Larry Sanders has been fined $50,000 for using a derogatory and offensive term and publicly criticizing the officials, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.
With 2:44 in the fourth quarter of the Bucks 107-94 home loss to the Miami Heat on Friday Sanders directed a derogatory and offensive term to the officials and was subsequently ejected. Following the game he publicly criticized the officials.
We don’t mean to set a bad example for the younger generation, as acting the fool on the court is never a good idea, but the classic way in which Larry Sanders showed his appreciation for the officials after getting ejected was too funny not to share.
