2009 is over as The National Basketball Association dished out 28 fines to coaches, players, and owners this year valued at $690,000. Here's a look at some of more important ones as far as uniqueness and dollar amount goes.

The Christmas games last Friday saw the unveiling of some specialty editions of new shoes out on the basketball market. You be the judge as far as what looked good and what left your head scratching. Personally my #1 head scratcher is when LeBron whipped out these personalized 'I Love New York' shoes yet to be released.

Welcome to Media Monday where NBA360.tv takes a look at recent videos clips and images relating to the National Basketball Association. Today's focus is on some of the gems we witnessed during the Christmas weekend which saw a quintuple header of nationally televised action headline the holiday season on Friday. So let's take a look at an NBA Store blunder. A New Jersey Nets fan wanted to order a Yi Jianlian jersey for his son. The problem? They used a Houston Rockets template on the Nets jersey. Now I know Yi was out for a long period of time, but unless they know something we don't as far as a trade rumor, they clearly were thinking Yao Ming when making that jersey. Merry Christmas sir, I hope you sell that weird screw-up on eBay and make a profit.

Christmas Eve saw zero games played in the National Basketball Association. Friday brings most basketball fans pure glee as all five games on tap are on national television. In the league's 2nd year of existence back in 1947, the NBA began playing games on Christmas with the New York Knicks defeating the Providence Steam Rollers 89-75 at Madison Square Garden. 202 games have been played 62 years after the tradition began. The only time there hasn't been at least one Christmas game played was during the '98-'99 lockout. Home teams have over a 66% winning percentage with the home teams being victorious 9 out of 11 times in the past 4 years.
