NBA rescinds technical on Jefferson for winking after Durant poster

It took a while, but the NBA did eventually make things right with the Cleveland Cavaliers' elder statesman.
The NBA rescinded a technical foul assessed to Richard Jefferson for winking after he posterized Kevin Durant on Christmas Day, reports Cavaliers broadcaster Fred McLeod.
Durant promptly drained the technical foul shot, but Jefferson got the best of him minutes later as he got away with fouling Durant on the Warriors' last possession, which the league retroactively admitted to on their last-two-minute report.
The NBA should take it one step further by implementing a rule that stipulates a 36-year-old can celebrate however he sees fit following a dunk.
