Lakers Fined $50K For Comments About Antetokounmpo

The Los Angeles Lakers can’t seem to quit talking about players on other N-B-A teams.  The Lakers were fined for a second time this season for violating the league’s anti-tampering rules.  President of basketball operations Magic Johnson commented on Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo in a media interview, saying he deserves to be an All-Star game starter and is going to be “like an M-V-P,” who puts Milwaukee “on the map.”  The Lakers were fined 50-thousand dollars for those comments — after being fined 10 times as much, 500-thousand dollars, for making contact last summer with an agent for Paul George.
