[tarheelsnipe]

Michael was fined $100K by the league for openly commenting on the lockout. In case you're counting, that's about 20 of his PMG cards.

"... That violated the league's policy that bars team owners and employees from discussing the lockout or any players during the work stoppage. The NBA sent out a league-wide memo just before the lockout began on July 1 stating that anyone who broke the rules could be fined up to $1 million."

Fined only if you're included in the above list.

"up to $1 million."
