Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was fined $ 15,000 on Friday for "obscene gesture" after his team won against Indiana on Wednesday, the league said in a statement.
James, author of 39 points in this meeting won 124-116 on the floor of the Pacers, had danced by touching his genitals after having managed a 3-point throw one minute from the end of the 4th quarter.

The 36-year-old was also warned for "using foul language during the post-match press conference about the league's disciplinary rules," the court added.
"It's bullshit, but whatever," responded the player, clearly not appreciating the penalty.
âKing Jamesâ had already been suspended for one game this week after his blow to the face of Detroit pivot Isaiah Stewart last Sunday.
Nine minutes from the end of the third quarter of a game against the New York Knicks finally won by the Lakers (121-116), while the Pistons extended their advantage to 12 points on a free throw, James, hung by Stewart, brutally turned around, striking a blow to the face of the opposite one. Falling to the ground and the victim of a cut above the right eye, the Pistons player tried several times for revenge. This led to a scrimmage of players from both teams, with several staff members as well as security, who also took part in the scuffle without being struck.
Lakers superstar LeBron James was suspended for the blow to the face of Isaiah Stewart, who will serve two for wanting revenge, causing a big scrum in the NBA game between the two teams.
