Over the last two months, Clippers forward Matt Barnes has been fined $25,000 by the NBA on two different occasions. The first time, he was fined for kicking a water bottle into the stands during a December game against the Wizards and cursing at a few opposing fans. And earlier today, he was fined again for directing "inappropriate language toward a fan" during a recent game against the Suns. And Barnes has had it. So he just took to Twitter to rant about the most recent fine—he claims that the Suns owner talked trash to him during a game, which is why he talked trash back—and to say that, if the league keeps fining him, he's going to need to pick up a second job in order to be able to afford to play in the NBA.
Here's what Barnes had to say on Twitter:
Barnes' Twitter rant wasn't anywhere near as crazy as the rant that Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes' wife Miko went on last night. But he still managed to get his point across.
Think the NBA will fine him after they see what Barnes had to say on social media?
