DeMarcus Cousins has been fined $25,000 for his comments about referees and their treatment of Blake Griffin.

"He's babied," Cousins told SI.com. "He's the poster child of the league. He sells tickets, but he's babied. Bottom line."

Cousins was asked who babied Griffin.

"The refs, the league – period," Cousins said. "He gets away with (everything). He taunts players. Nothing is done. He's babied."
