LeBron James Fined $15K for Gesture In Overtime Win Against Pacers

While LeBron James scored a season-high 39 points in an overtime win over the Pacers on Wednesday, the throwback night 36-year-old superstar didn't come without a cost. The NBA fined James $15,000 on Friday for his obscene gesture in the win.

The incident took place in the final 1:17 of the game. James hit a clutch three-pointer to give the Laker a 110-104 lead and followed it up with a Sam Cassell-type celebration as he made his way back down the court.

James finished the game with 39 points—scoring eight of the Lakers' 12 points in overtime—five rebounds and six assists.
