NBA double-standard

So, the Jazz play a tasteless but essentially harmless joke on Karl Malone and arefined $15,000 - why wasn’t there a single murmur from Stern’s organization when this certain thing (ironically related to the mail”thug” again) happened at the Staples Center?
LOS ANGELES - The pregame image was anything but subtle. The postgame image was historic.

Before the first tip, highlights of the Lakers’ domination over the Mavericks shined on an oversized screen hanging from above the scoreboard. …

But then came the most damning clip. Hollywood couldn’t have made it any more dramatic. In slow motion, Karl Malone turns, leading with his elbow, and cold-cocks Steve Nash. The Staples Center roars with approval.
I guess classless acts glorifying violence against opposing teams’ players are not worthy of fines as are simply tasteless teasing skits. Sheesh!
