NBA star Hibbert calls reporters ‘motherf***ers’, says ‘no Homo’, fined $75,000

                       

Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert dropped what can only be described as an MF-bomb after their game six win over Miami Heat.

After a 91-77 game six win over Miami, the outspoken Hibbert went on a foul-mouthed rant against reporters who he feels underrated his game in the Defensive Player of the Year voting.

Hibbert was also criticised for using the term 'no Homo' in an unrelated comment about marking opponents, but it is unlikely he will face action for that as it is widely regarded as an ironic if insensitive slang phrase.

While the star later apologised for using both terms, he was later fined $75,000 for his ill-chosen words

               
                          

"I am apologizing for insensitive remarks made during the post-game press conference after our victory over Miami Saturday night," read Hibbert's statement on the Pacer's official website.

"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.

                          

"I apologize to those who I have offended, to our fans and to the Pacers' organization. I sincerely have deep regret over my choice of words last night," he said.

Hibbert had also sent a tweet to fellow NBA player Jason Collins, who in April became the first active player in the league to come out as a gay. (HERE)
