How would you like to ?earn? $50,000 by saying two magic words?  

For Los Angeles Clippers center Michael Olowokandi this is ?kind of? what happened.  Olowokandi had a heart-to-heart meeting with Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor on Friday morning to apologize about some volatile words he used about the organization, and as a result Baylor dropped the $50,000 fine previously imposed against the former first overall pick.

"The fine has been rescinded, based on what Elgin heard from Michael this morning," Clippers vice president of communications Joe Safety said. "We are happy with the resolution and are looking forward to the future."
