$100K is a huge amount of money for me. For Harden, not so much. Compared to the PG-13 crap players are routinely fined tens of thousands of dollars for (which I don't necessarily agree with), $100K seems surprisingly little for how unprecedented Harden's comments were - although I'm not sure of what technical grounds the league has for fining him. If they wanted to hit him with a harsher penalty, they'd suspend him, but they can't do that without Harden's team (6ers, I presume) taking a massive collateral hit
Usually the amount of fines the league can collect is defined in the CBA.
Yeah this is also one of the bigger fines I've seen coming from the league to a player. Biggest I've seen is Stoudamire getting fined $250k after he got arrested for the third time for marijuana possession.
He must be so annoyed that it's legal now lol
