It’s been a while since we’ve seen a player hit a cameraman during a game. In fact, the only other time has to be Dennis Rodman in the late 90s when he kicked a cameraman in Minnesota.
Last night, Tony Allen channeled his inner Rodman and slapped a cameraman for no reason. At least Rodman was upset because he thought the cameraman was too close to the action. But with Allen? I have no idea. For his actions, the league has fined him $15,000.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen has been fined $15,000 for intentionally striking a camera on the baseline during the Grizzlies’ 93-81 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, Nov. 3, at FedEx Forum, it was announced today by Rod Thorn, President, Basketball Operations.
