Fine time in the NBA: Kobe and headphones

Just read a news that Lakers were fined $10,000 because Kobe wore headphones around his neck during postgame news conference after gm 4!

Are you serious? $10,000?!?! for a piece of headphone? Damn. He was probably listening to some anger management music so he don't go off during the news conference anyway.

Similar to me copping a $5 fine!!

Very harsh though - i guess these athletes are expected to take their media obligations a bit more seriously.

I thought it might have had something to do with advertising or promotion of the product?

At the end of the day, there is rules in place and all players know not to break them otherwise they can face harsh consequences. Mark Cuban has been fined so much money it's amazing..Every year in the league he gets multiple digit fines
