“Is NBA working for IRS? – Spurs fans clown NBA for fining Victor Wembanyama $25k for tossing ball into stands

Despite being fined $25k by the NBA, San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama continued to impress the home crowd in Friday night’s 130-126 overtime win against the New York Knicks. Wembanyama delivered another electrifying performance, recording a double-double with 40 points and 20 rebounds. His celebration of throwing the ball into the stands resulted in the fine, but it was clear that he had once again energized the fans.

The league strongly discourages NBA players from throwing the basketball into the crowd, as it poses a risk of physical harm and could potentially escalate into altercations.

Despite this, the fine given to the Spurs rookie was met with dissatisfaction from numerous NBA fans.

Despite Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks dropping 61 points (25-47 shooting) during the matchup, he was unable to hold onto the game ball. This led some to joke that he had pulled some strings to try and keep the ball, but ultimately failed to do so.

“Is the NBA working for the IRS?”one fan said.

Despite the league’s guidelines and stipulations that require all players to comply, fans have expressed their discontent with this particular rule due to the significant fine imposed on athletes.

Despite this, Victor Wembanyama achieved his career-high of 40 points against the league’s eighth-ranked defense, which also holds a fourth-place ranking (44-29 record) in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Incredible Height of Victor Wembanyama’s Basketball Throws

After the game, Victor Wembanyama was questioned about his plans for covering the cost of the game ball that he threw into the stands. This was in consideration of his outstanding performance against the New York Knicks.

“Nah, somebody else is going to pay for it,”Wembanyama said.”

Despite his excitement, Wembanyama likely did not anticipate receiving a $25k fine from the NBA for tossing the ball into the stands.
