Brandon Jennings was fined $7,500 after Milwaukee’s 108-101 double-overtime win for posting on Twitter:
“Back to 500. Yess!!! ’500′ means where doing good. Way to Play Hard Guys.”
He was fined because according to the NBA’s social media policy, “tweeting” is not allowed 45 minutes before or after a game.
I believe this policy is ridiculous. I mean common, does it really matter if a professional basketball player tweets 45 minutes before or after a game? I really don’t think it matters. Well, guess what Brandon Jennings? Now you know the policy. Next time just wait 45 minutes after the game to tweet. Save yourself $7,500!
