The fine imposed on LeBron James for an "obscene gesture" is 15 thousand dollars. The Los Angeles Lakers star also received a reprimand from NBA disciplinary officials because he was sworn in at a press conference.
In just one week there are therefore two punishments for James. He was first banned for a game due to a violent altercation with Isaiah Stewart of the Detroit Pistons during last Sunday's match. Returning to the field on Wednesday to face the Indianapolis Pacers, he scored 39 points in a 124-116 overtime win. Towards the end of the fourth half, he made the offending gesture after sinking a three-point field goal, which extended the Lakers' lead to six points.
