I actually agree with Heavy here it was a really dumb thing to say. Really dumb.
That said I totally agree with his "yall motherfuckers didnt watch us play this year" line in reference to him getting no DPOY votes. Because nobody would actually want to watch Indiana Pacers basketball unless they had to.

No, just no
"Mr. Hibbert's words do not represent the views of the National Basketball Assocation. For his recent words, it has been decided that he be suspended for Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Eastern Conference Finals."
it's in pretty bad taste by itself, but heighted given the coming out of Collins and other athletes in professional sports so recently,

Is "no homo" really such an appalling thing to say these days? Dude's just messing around.
I don't know what you're saying, Paul George is making sure we have our fill of posters

That came off wrong, I got mad. But anyway, I'm not a public figure so whatever.
Yeah, such an unreasonable notion to have.

tru. he's had a couple of sweet dunks this series. wish he pushed his nutsack in Bosh's face on his dunk tonight. Might've gotten him excited.

Meh. It's not something I'd necessarily say myself, but I can't be bothered to feel any outrage about it.

I don't think it's a good thing for the Heat to be pushed to Game 7 when Wade already looks like he is being held up by tape.

peter waddup,looks like you were right about facing the pacers lol. I remember when it was knicks/pacers and he called it.

Hibbert gettin' real
Your role model should be someone you actually know who has provided you support and guidance in tangible ways, not some guy you're admiring from a distance.

It's context, like anything else. There probably wasn't anything intentionally malicious about it, If you are sitting around with your boys and drop a 'no homo' for a quick laugh, that's one thing. Saying it during an NBA press conference though is just stupid. It's basically the difference between what you say at home vs. your place of work.

Who gives a shit? Are we really this petty to think that Hibbert deserves more than a slap on the wrist for something like this. Not everyone feels the same about homosexual relationships and you can't make everyone feel the same about things like that through force.
Edit: Personally, I'm fine with gay marriage and homosexual relationships, but with the way the black community is and other communities are deeply entrenched in the church, you can't expect them to change overnight.

He's about to be messing around with a fine and an apology
Because they asked a stupid ass question saying why didn't hibbert get defensive player of the year award knowing damn well that they didn't watch pacers game. Hibbert just unloaded on them.
Who doesn't press d? It's like those fools who play as Jedi in kotor. Stupid.

Glad I'm not alone in that feeling. Really stupid thing to say and just makes the team look bad. He's a representative for the Pacers so when you say stupid shit like that you're affecting the team and its image. Of course he's a dick and doesn't understand this basic principle.
I should've noticed he was this kind of dude when he did that WWE promo post-game interview after game 4.
The commentary you get the next game is great
"He's crazy, but that helps his team!"
my player is the lance stephenson of the team

Just for that, how about when wade and bron mocked Dirk.
Doesn't matter what he feels, if his words garner enough outrage from the public, Stern will force him to make an apology and eat a fine

a few thousand dollar fine IS a slap on the wrist for an NBA player. he's not going to get suspended. And to be honest, saying "No homo" at work could probably get you or I or any other average person fired.
It's a hot button issue right now, especially with Jason Collins having just come out.

"LeBron stretched me out... no homo."
You're telling me you didn't even chuckle? Has the world really gotten this sensitive in the past few years?

Like I said the last time this was brought up, you can have more that one role model. Your parents can be your core role models, then you can have supplementary ones in whatever your interests are, for example.

Kerr had pretty good joke about that. He said LeBron wished Shaq gave him so much support when he came to cleveland.
yea but you can't be a fucking idiot and say no homo on a national stage. He's probaably gonna get fined. No coupon for that.

No I didn't chuckle. I rolled my eyes in disgust.

Heat fans are the two and spurs fans is the other guy.
Everyone was worried about the Spurs health if they made it to the Finals. Now?
