Milwaukee Bucks breakout star point guard Brandon Jennings was fined for using his Twitter account too soon after a game by the National Basketball Association. The fine was only seventy five hundred dollars. This happens to be a very small amount of money even for a guy like Jennings who is of course operating under a rookie contract. Jennings also made over one million dollars playing in the Italian League last year, so with big checks like that rolling in, small fines over Twitter are no big deal.
This is the second time a Milwaukee Bucks player has been fined for using Twitter while being on their roster. The player who was fined by Scott Skilles for using Twitter during half time now plays for the Pistons. Jennings was simply trying to express his excitement over the fact that his team had just beaten the Portland Trail Blazers in a very exciting contest. Jennings reportedly had no idea that it was too soon after the game to begin using Twitter. The fact that he was celebrating over a win in a non taunting way and still fined, has given some people in the NBA reason to worry that they are now working for a no fun league.
