The NBA didn’t take kindly to that. They slapped him with a $35,000 fine for the obscene gesture. Ouch! It all went down during a tough game where the Spurs ended up losing big time, 140-113.
Collins was arguing about a call when things escalated. He kept chatting back at the refs, and after a couple of technicals, he was outta there. As he was leaving, he decided to give the officials a piece of his mind with that infamous gesture.
The league is pretty strict about this kind of stuff. They want to keep things family-friendly, so they don’t mess around when it comes to disrespecting the refs. Just last month, another player got fined for a similar stunt in Sacramento. Seems like that place is a hotbed for these kinds of incidents!
