LeBron will pay Jones' fine after ejection
Enough is enough, Dahntay Jones.
The Cleveland Cavaliers veteran was ejected from Monday's Game 1 against the Toronto Raptors after picking up two technical fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct - he celebrated a dunk rather excessively, exchanging some words with Norman Powell and Jakob Poeltl.
Those techs will result in a $6,000 fine, which LeBron James will cover ... again, and hopefully for the last time.
"And I told him tonight, I said, 'Listen, Dante. Enough is enough, stop getting kicked out against Toronto all the time, alright? (So I can) stop paying your damn fines.' But yeah, he don't have to worry about it. He's good," James said.
A year ago in the East Finals against the Raps, Jones was suspended without pay for punching Bismack Biyombo in the "Hibberts," and James footed the $80 bill.
Classic LeDad.
