NBA player fined $25,000 for throwing sneaker (VIDEO)

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for throwing a sneaker into the stands, according to the organization's official website .

In the fourth quarter of a home game against the Los Angeles Lakers, in which his club lost with a score of 97:113, Josh failed to throw the ball into the hoop from above.

In a game episode, Richardson, when he was moving under the opponent’s shield, had his heel stepped on and he found himself without a sneaker.

The basketball player was outraged that the referees did not call a foul in a dynamic moment and soon threw his sneaker into the stands.

This season, Richardson is averaging more than 20 points per game, about three assists and four rebounds.
