Still JoAnna, I have a hard time having financial pity for his Twittering fine when he has a 7 figure salary. Guess Brandon won’t text when he should be playing basketball.

Why wouldn't he want fans of the league to build somewhat of a personal connection with players? Who cares if Brandon Jennings tells the world that he's excited they won the game? Shouldn't he be excited? How about focusing energy on finding refs who don't fix games and prohibiting oil barrons from ripping a team away from a city. The Thunder instead of the Sonics, really? Shaq is more popular these days for what he does off the court and banning twitter will definitely effect many players who have become celebrities. It looks to me as if David Stern is just another old guy who doesn't understand the Web 2.0 movement and how it is transforming the way people connect with each other. Ok my rant is over now...

The NBA has had too much trouble from the referee gambling scandal, and I'm sure in keeping that in mind, they don't want players sending information out about their health, the health of the other players, and other insider type information for gamblers.
