Fred VanVleet ejected and fined $35,000 for bumping into ref

When are we gonna get a players strike? These refs must be stopped

Surprised the referee survived.

this is a great tech for bumping. If you let players get away with the little stuff they escalate to bigger bumps. The game doesnt need players thinking that, so these "harmless" bumps are the perfect way to teach em

VanVleet is on the ref black list for what he did to that other ref, everything gonna be a tech now for him ....

For those unaware of the rule, the timeout doesnt start when the player wants it. It starts when the ref gives it. So the ref finished his 5 second count before he thought to give the timeout. Hence the ref has priority as he determines it, good call

A man that can't control his emotions, isnt a man.

Enough of crying because of a stupid game. Well done ref

That's clearly NOT an intentional bump. They just being sensitive and flexing their power smh.

I understand the ejection for the bump but 35k fine for that!?? Lmao

Guy has little man syndrome, acting like a 'thug' all of a sudden now that he's out of Toronto 😂😂.

VanVleet been wildlin with the refs all year

The league definitely getting they money back

Hilarious.
"I would never touch a referee"....
Poked one in the face and more, a month ago.
Get back at him 3 times, bumped him on purpose.
We're still in "fines territory"..it's crazy.
Sit his chubby ass for a week without pay, 1.5 million dollars, maybe the behavior will change.
35K fine for a 42MD athlete, really prohibitive.

they using onlyfans girls as reporters now

either he bumped him on purpose or he pushed him with his elbow.

The ratings are getting ejected, too.

Didn’t he get suspended and fined a few games ago?

soft.

Both were accidents

When you bump into the refs like you're paying them for insurance 🤯

Fred vs the Refs

I hope NBA put refs in top 10 plays of the day😂😂😂

cool. the ref walk into his path but he bumped the ref. sounds about right.

100% on purpose

lol

Why is this player always have beef with the Refs I'm confused 😕

Nba milking their poniz scheme to save their loss in rating

I've probably watched 3 games this year. The NBA is shit right now. Not trying to watch bench players miss 9 3 pointers a night and the refs have a power trip every game.

VanVleet so dumb. You cant have this guy running the team for you.

Definitely on purpose….he was looking right at him….

its another ref highlights smh

Any tech that removes a player from a game should always be reviewed first so now, all 3 officials have to put their names on the line

still wonder why nba sucks...it's the refs

NBA is so poor they are trying to get some money in from the players and teams, plus bettings cause refs they are sending out all the good players they want every night

class act from fred in the interview. i’d have been crashing out telling adam silver to get his shit together

I didn’t know the refs act like LeBron to. Flopping

Nba wont last 10 more years

Every refs should get interview also by the NBA media

I see the NBA is having ratings problems. Honestly, I love basketball, but complaining about every single call is making these guys very unlikeable.

I Would Never Bump An Official , Unless I Bump An Official

Vanvleet needs to be suspended. Not suspending him last time is why that just happened

That was a punk move by the ref...Sensitive a$$ sh!t

It's like in the game, you can't really put a hand on someone like all the Fouls .

Next it's gonna be a tech after staring too much at the ref...


Oh wait it already happened

draymond gets away with this

Those are nice numbers by Fred 💪🏼

Crashout

Typical Americans the rules don’t apply to me

come on now.
