He's warned. He ignores the warning and keeps cussing. So they hit him with a technical.
Wow! That's real tough. What does he need to do to get ejected? Attack the guy? To cap it off they fine him $25,000.
The NBA is frightened of this guy. With his disciplinary record an incident like this ought to earn him some serious bench time.

The NBA has created a league of superstars. And unfortunately Spreewell has fallen into that catagory in certain areas. A lot of idiot New Yorkers came to see him play that night. If he is ejected, 5,000 quieted fans go past the food and pennents to the parking lot on their way home. Over the past 30 years, many ballplayers with little talent but a whole lot of hype have been placed in the protected catagory so they wouldn't be tossed or fouled out. A perfect example of this is O'Neil from Los Angeles. Can't shoot from more than 5 feet, can't run with the club, but he can certainly knock people out of the way on his way to a dunk. If he wasn't huge, he couldn't lift Magic's or Larry's warmups. But, he stays in the game to draw people. It's kind of like the bearded lady in the side show. I find it disgusting and have ceased watching more than the scores on sports center. The game, itself, is boring.
