Uh oh...Kobe and Lebron ad with GUN REFERENCES???

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AgeNQFIOEVNoDmnxzkX3g2u8vLYF?slug=ap-nikead-gunexpression&prov=ap&type=lgns

For those too lazy to read:

Nike had an ad recently with Kobe and Lebron, where Kobe says "I don't leave anything in the chamber" The chamber of a gun is where the bullets are held before they are fired. Later, Lebron says something like, "I can take those hits, and give a few back too" or something. I'm not sure.

The NBA recently suspended Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton for guns...will they do the same for Lebron James and Kobe Bryant? CAN they do the same for Lebron James and Kobe Bryant???

I personally think that what Lebron and Kobe did is much less severe, and could just be a misinterpretation, but even if it wasn't, I doubt Stern would suspend KOBE BRYANT and LEBRON JAMES...

I don't see anything that would warrant a suspension, heck...not even a fine....

Well, it was for a nike brand Close Combat or somethin...

and i dont wanna sound like a huge homer or nothing, but lebron's commetn had nothing to do w/ guns.... he said "Peole forget i used to be a football player, i can give hits...and take afew as well"

but yeah....what kobe said was nothing...and eitheer way....nike pretty much made thee line up for him.

no suspension or fine is needed.

knowing the nba....they're both gonna get fined big time tho.

Big time?

Probably $8.50 each

David Stern just found another excuse to get some cash in his pocket...

The NBA fined lebron 25K for kicking a waterbottle.

Kenyon Martin 35K for laughing nad shaking his head when he got ejected.

.....
its gonna be big..it was a gun reference in the "rated G" nba.

Ehh, this isn't really a big issue IMO.
I don't think either player should be fined

lol @ the comment that stated "does that mean i can no longer say " Pistol" Pete Marovich?"

know what i JUST realized... Gil and Crittenton play for the Wizards and they got involved with guns..

The wizards USED to be the Bullets.

Ironic lol.

Well I am sure if they brought guns to their lockers and pulled out a 'joke' on their team mates, they would be suspended.

This is nothing even compared to what Delonte West did. lol

I agree with that,Stern always finds ways to get money...

All fines are donated to charity

That's good move then
