Reggie Jackson spent the first three and a half years of his career playing for the Thunder but wanted a larger role, so Oklahoma City traded him to the Detroit Pistons last season. Returning to Oklahoma City for the first time on Sunday, Reggie Jackson did not receive a warm reception from Thunder fans.
Loudly booed and heckled throughout the game, Jackson responded directly to one fan who was sitting behind the Pistons bench. Caught on video cursing the fan out, Jackson was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Tuesday.
It is unclear what the fan said to rile Jackson up but the video has garned over 175,000 views and clearly alerted the NBA to his outburst. So now not only will Jackson have to live with performing poorly against his former team (shooting 24 percent and 33 from three), but he will also have to pay a rather large fine for his actions.
