LeBron James, Matt Barnes react to Ibaka's fine for groin shot
LeBron James and Matt Barnes react to the news of Serge Ibaka's $25,000 fine.
Serge Ibaka was fined $25,000 by the league for his shot to Blake Griffin's groin. The punishment appears to be considerably light, with many feeling at least a game suspension was in order.
Here are some reactions by other players to the news:
So explain to me the difference? My teammate gets a 1 game suspension and 150k+ taking away from him for his groin altercation #strangetome

You can INTENTIONALLY grab or hit someone in the balls & not get suspended, but you push someone & get suspended. #ImConfused

So if I would have back handed Ibaka, I would have been the only one to get suspended right??????????????????????????

I just watched Serge play on Blake. It was a foul but not a flagrant foul at all. Just 2 guys playing hard and aggressive

I don't care if people think I'm wrong call me what you want. I'm riding with my Lil homie Serge all day long. Serge is a great dude.

Blake Griffin, the man who needed an icepack after the incident probably had the best reaction while channeling the meme of his KIA time travel commercials:
Kid Blake: Who are you? Future Blake: you from the future... Don't listen to anything else I've told you just start wearing a cup.
