The NBA has hit Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban with a $500,000 fine for publicly blasting NBA refs in the wake of a controversial call in a Feb. 22 game.
The NBA says the comments were"highly critical, personal and demeaning to the league and its officiating staff."
In a strongly-worded statement, the league ripped Cuban for his behavior -- saying he's setting a terrible example for the rest of the league, sending a bad message to fans and creating an"intimidating workplace environment.""It is a recognized part of sports for fans and the media at times to criticize officiating, but team executives must be held to a higher standard."
