Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson is going to be fined once the NBA reviews the obscene gesture that he used to celebrate his game-tying basket against Chicago which sent Tuesday night's game into overtime.
The celebration Nelson used was the "big marbles" dance made famous in the movie Major League II.
WARNING: May be inappropriate for younger viewers.
In terms a fine for Nelson, it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. Andray Blatche was fined $15,000 for the same gesture earlier this season, so the precedent has been set.
Nelson scored 31 points, but it wasn't enough as the Magic lost to the Bulls in triple-overtime.
UPDATE: As expected, Nelson was fined $15K.
H/T FTW.
