This is just not LeBron James’s week. The NBA star has recently been fined $15,000 for obscene gestures during Wednesday’s game.
During an intense game between the Lakers and Pacers, LeBron made a gesture after making the winning shot. James did Sam Cassell’s iconic “big balls” celebration near his genitals, and many felt the moment was inappropriate.

While this may seem harmless, the NBA takes this kind of behavior seriously & James was ultimately fined $15k.
The crazy thing is that many NBA players have done the gesture knowing a fine will happen but still taking the chance anyway.
The NBA also had a problem with LeBron using profanity. When speaking on the Isaiah Stewart situation, James called the suspension “bullsh*t.” This did not sit well with the league and warned LeBron about his language saying “using profane language during media availability in response to league-imposed discipline.”
