Overhyped Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert was certainly feeling himself during post-game interview after his team whipped the defending NBA champs Miami HEAT 91-77 on Saturday to tie the Eastern Conference series of the NBA playoffs at 3-3.
The 26-year-old former Georgetown standout was fined $75,000 by the NBA for using “inappropriate and vulgar” language during the post-game press conference on Saturday.
During the press conference, Hibbert bristled when reporters questioned why he finished 10th in this year’s Defensive Player of the Year voting.
“You know what, because y’all muthaf—— don’t watch us play throughout the year, to tell you the truth,” Hibbert said live in front of a national TV audience. “That’s fine. I’m going to be real with you. And I don’t care if I get fined. You know what, we play, we’re not on TV all the time. Reporters are the ones that are voting. And it is what it is. If I don’t make it, that’s fine. I’m still going to do what I have to do.”
The 7 ft 2 in Hibbert also said “no homo” to explain his weak defense on 6 ft 8 in Miami HEAT power forward LeBron James throughout the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
After catching Holy Hail from gay rights groups for saying “no homo,” Hibbert issued an apology first thing Sunday morning.
“I am apologizing for insensitive remarks made during the postgame press conference after our victory over Miami Saturday night,” Hibbert said in the statement. “They were disrespectful and offensive and not a reflection of my personal views. I used a slang term that is not appropriate in any setting, private or public, and the language I used definitely has no place in a public forum, especially over live television.”
NBA Commissioner David Stern released a statement explaining the fine: “While Roy has issued an apology, which is no doubt sincere, a fine is necessary to reinforce that such offensive comments will not be tolerated by the NBA.”
Hibbert also reached out via Twitter to former NBA bench rider Jason Collins, the poster boy for the media’s gay agenda campaign.
News of Hibbert’s $75,000 fine sparked online debates among those who wonder when did the phrase “no homo” become a gay slur and sensitive gays who seize upon any slight these days.
“I do agree that ‘no homo’ is not a slur and its a phrase born in Harlem, NY by hip hop artist,” wrote one Huffington Post reader. The reader continued: “‘Pause’ is another version of it and I wonder if he chose to say ‘pause’ instead of no homo, would he still have been fined?”

Man I tell ya….
Wow…..so now saying “no homo” gets the gays in a tizzy!? These days..sigh
:off topic: Michael Douglas says oral sex gave him throat cancer. Seems he ran across some rancid puss that had HPV and that’s the form he got…yep.
Happy Monday everybody!
That man aint speak nothing but the truth. While these gay folks crying abt every fuggin thing somebody say, what they really doing is makin folks not give a fugg abt their asses.
The sh!t aint that serious.
I gota cousin we call Sissy Troy, cuz he a sissy. His ass aint mad abt THAT. His ass say, “huh, what u want” You think his gay ass give a fugg abt THIS or any of that other gay drama they keep in the media. NOOO!! I mean really, these clowns give gay people a BAD name.
Let these niccas play basketball and talk sh!t. Its what MEN do.
Oh yeah, good morning YALL!!!
He should’ve just said “pause.”
Good morning Roses. I definitely don’t know who this guy, but I think the fine was a little much. No homo is not a slur IMO. I think the fine was rather steep…
Nevermind…the fine was for the ‘F’ bomb he dropped…
he should appeal it….the fine let alone the amount is egregious to me…the NBA needs to give a course on what to say and what not to say apparently…26 is a new generation with new slang
He looks like he sits on the rainbow carpet with Lamar Odom and shares a 64 pack of Crayolas as a snack.
Seems he ran across some rancid puss that had HPV

Visit your OB/GYN kids!
This fine is silly.
As for Michael Douglas :stop: Sir some stuff you take to the tomb. He is getting church hugs and air kisses from now on from everybody. And he is married to bipolar Catherine ZetaJones with drug addicted chillen. Money ain’t everything
Seems he ran across some rancid puss that had HPV and that’s the form he got
===================================
so does Katherine have rancid puss or did he cheat on her arse

The fact that he ASKED to follow someone on Twitter & then said “something’s” should get him a pass for being dumb, not homophobic.
Look at him… There is clearly somethingzes wrong with him.

A sex addict and a person of bipolar nature would really have to put a lot of work in their marriage! Whew!
I heard Lebron also said it before and wasn’t fined.
Iscream, I believe they’ve all said it before, it ‘s just the fact that he said it during a press conference.
Yes ma’am and could u imagine those disagreements….
Its a wonder that Zeta-Jones hasnt been fully committed to an asylum….HPV in the throat spawning cancer…the horror.

hola mamacita que paso?
Morning Luvn..
Ain’t it about time you changed you’re gravie?
“no homo” is a homophobic slur now? I have a gay friend that says “no hetero” all the time…should I be offended?
If I were in the NBA I wouldn’t be participating in those press conferences…I’ve seen one too many players/coaches get fined for expressing their opinions about the game or the officiating.
Looking forward to game 7 tonight…should be a good one!
the NBA needs to give a course on what to
@NAIJA
They actually DO have some type of PrograM for them for it
Honestly
after watching this series I truly thought highly of HIBBERT,he’s good on the court and spoke well the fews times they interviewed him on the court.
Then i Seen this POST GAMe Conference,
He isnt as SMart AS I thought he was
But for real though, I dont know how we can assume that Catherine is that one he got that thang from. Dude was already abt 60 when he got with that lady. Im sure his throat was already “seasoned”
IJS, he had plenty hoes b4 she let his liver lips invade her hot pocket
Hello @ luVn_liFe
<– Im feeling like
@NAIJA Are you near or Familiar w/that HOTEL/restaurant that burned down Fri??
Im sure his throat was already “seasoned” <-
Mike douglas is an A.S.S.
he said more ORAL s.e.x. will help
@luVn_liFe
No one assumed He got cancer from Catherine though.
The question was asked did he or did he not, but no one here assumed it.
LUV N
didn’t know a hotel burned down…I steer clear of the news…damn
he said more ORAL s.e.x. will help
Obviously it soread to his brain…
Hey Luvyn, MsB, and everyone else
hope all is well….
*spread
But for real though, I dont know how we can assume that Catherine
===========================
dude and Catherine been together double digit years so he got it from her or cheated on her…the latter I believe

Overhyped Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert
****************
Actually he’s been underhyped, but that’s all over. The world has watched him put sport on the Heat’s azz and I think we will pay more attention going forward. I know I will. Gone pay that punk azz fine Hibbert. Come with that A game tonight and maybe you can steal some of this metrosexual, hollywood diva team’s endorements. At least Bosh’s and maybe even Wade’s who’s best years are behind him.
