NBA Issued Most Swearing Fines This Season in Nearly 20 Years

Perhaps more than any other major professional league in the U.S., NBA stars are not afraid to speak their minds. This year, it has cost players a total of $95,000 in fines for swearing, the most the league has issued in a single year dating back to 2003 to ’04, the first year for which the league provided data, according to Sports Illustrated‘s Howard Beck.

With fiery players like Draymond Green and Chris Paul’s teams alive and well in the NBA playoffs, that number may still break into the six digits before the season is over.
