For instructing the Sacramento Kings not to play "Cold As Ice" as a way to heckle Russell Westbrook.

Yeah that’s pathetic. The league already has an image that they coddle stars (or former stars)…this plays right into it.

I remember decades ago the Hornets were not allowed to play a bee buzzing noise when the other team had the ball.

But not surprised by Westbrook.

Heckling is part of the game and as long as it's not derogatory it should be allowed. That's bogus

Cold as ice thing is a fun little thing…it’s not personal, speaks to his on-court performance, isn’t profane, etc.

There’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to play thing. If Sac fans had any sense of humor they’d be singing it all game.

Reminds me of Rondo in the bubble.

He took a picture of the bubble accommodations and posted it on twitter - complaining how disgusting and 'motel 6' they were.

But for normal people, it was a pretty nice setup. But he's use to the presidential suite as 5 star hotels so to him it was shit.

Nobody thinks Westbrook is a star. It’s lame and boring, but you can’t have a team shit on an opposing player through its own PA/graphics. That’s the NBA’s product, it doesn’t want one of its own teams making fun of it. Again it’s weak, but multibillion $ corporations don’t usually have much of a sense of humor. We’re lucky they can play clank sounds sometimes.

Westbrook went 2-for-14 from the field and 0-for-5 from 3-point range in the Lakers' 125-116 road loss to the Sacramento Kings.

I feel bad for the dude. Yeah criticism of him is valid but it seems excessive. He's a warrior and good for the league. Make fun of spoiled certified dipshit thief Ben Simmons instead.

Whenever he decides to play again I'm sure they will. In the meantime Westbrook should wear the collar.

Westbrook is still a star. What he isn't currently is very good at basketball.

Why would the nba’s product be any less valuable over some light trolling?

Guessing they’re just going to go with no trolling so in the future they don’t have to decide what’s light and what isn’t.

Kd can correct me if wrong but I guess it's like McDonald's lightly trolling chipolte or something (when McDonald's was part of the ownership group)

Sure you can. Baseball organists have been trolling opponents and umpires for years. Southern NHL teams do entire jumbotron routines shitting on Winnipeg every time the Jets come to town. This is just the NBA being precious again.

Do the Rangers still play the video of Nolan Ryan pummeling Ventura before every home game, that seems a bit hostile.
