What's with this "Twitter?." I know about Myspace and of course there is Facebook, but this new Social Networking site Twitter seems to be all the rave amongst pro athletes as of late. Charlie Vilenueva of the Milwaukee Bucks was recently chastized by his coach for blogging, or "tweeting" during halftime recently during a game against the Celtics and now the NBA have slapped Mavericks owner Mark Cuban with a $25,000 fine Sunday for publicly criticizing the officials after Denver's 103-101 win over Dallas last night.
Cuban used the Twitter online social network to complain after Friday night's game that Denver's J.R. Smith was not called for coming off the bench to taunt Antoine Wright after he missed a shot near the Nuggets bench.
Cuban said in another posting Sunday that he "can't say no one makes money from twitter now. the nba does."
In an earlier meeting of the two teams, the Mavericks owner was fined $25,000 after becoming upset about a foul that wasn't called on Smith. Cuban offered to donate the money to whatever charity Smith chose, then suggested he'd give it to the fund for a gruesomely injured hockey player. (AP)
