Via Cuban’s blog:
Dear JR.
Im sorry I didnt accept your generous offer of a signed pair of shoes. I think they were even my size.
The NBA tells me a tech should have been called on you for throwing the elbow and that I should pay a 25k dollar fine because owners aren’t supposed to get mad. Ever.
In the spirit of the joy of my getting fined and your not getting the tech, have the Nuggets PR folks contact the Mavs PR folks and I will donate 25k to the charity of your choice.
Unless of course your coach thinks that the wrong thing to do, or the NBA says I can’t because it would be a violation of a rule. In which case, I will find a charity that I think you would like and make the donation in your name.

It appears that the NBA has spoken. Cuban has been fined $25,000 for yelling at Nuggets guard JR Smith for what he perceived to be a malicious elbow thrown in Denver’s 99-97 win over Dallas on Tuesday night.
UPDATE: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that the fine is the “14th the league has announced against Cuban, who has been penalized about $1.5 million over the years and suspended from three games.”
