Apparently the NBA is not in favor of creative profanity.

Steve Francis of the Houston Rockets got fined $25,000 for telling ESPN's Jim Gray during halftime that a call was "bullshit."

...Wow, it's a good thing I'm not in the NBA. I'd pretty much have to sign over my entire paycheck. Hell, I'd probably end up effectively having to pay to play. Mark Cuban wouldn't have nothin' on me.

Without knowing anything about this case, I know several sports fine players for publically complaining about the officials and their calls.

Profanity on the air is just gravy.
