Unless something has changed, all NBA disciplinary player fines are tax deductible. Charles Barkley was famous for pointing that out when he used to get nailed. The only real discipline imo would be if a player gets suspended for a meaningful number of games. Obviously that ain't ever gonna happen in the NBA to the Kobes of the league.
Imagine what would have happened if the official had said that to Bryant? Hell, he might be out looking up Big Jake to see if he can get hired in college D1.
