Just another case of a rich (net worth: $1.9 billion) white dude getting to do whatever he wants! But it looks like the NBA won’t tolerate this behavior in the future, because the league is reportedly investigating the incident:

Per Click2Houston prior incidents have led to fines up to 100K, which is fine and dandy until you remember that’s just pocket money for this old man.
Here’s Leslie postgame trying to act all chill during his interview:
