Brandon Jennings, the young, star point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks who has been tearing up the league as an NBA rookie has now been fined by the National Basketball Association for a violation of their Twitter policy.

Jennings tweeted too son after a game The fine Jennings received was similar to the one that former Bucks player and current Pistons forward Charlie Vilanueva got last season for using Twitter when team rules apparently prohibited such a thing. The Bucks head coach Scott Skiles was the one who levied the fine against Charlie.

Brandon was simply celebrating a win over the Portland Trail Blazers with his Tweet and many observers could consider to be a silly reason to fine a guy who simply was trying to congratulate his teammates and express his jubilation with their progress. It was a good win over a solid team that is lead by the likes of Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge.

I genuinely have to question at this point whether NBA players should even consider using Twitter or other social networks at all if they run the risk of being fined every time they have such a minor indiscretion. It may be time for David Stern and people within the league office to revisit their Twitter policy.
