Thread: Kobe Bryant appears to hurl slur

After receiving a technical foul during Tuesday's game, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant stormed back to the bench and appeared to direct a homophobic slur toward referee Bennie Adams.

Bryant's reaction was caught on camera on TNT's national telecast of the key Western Conference battle with the San Antonio Spurs. He hit his seat before sitting down, threw a towel and then yelled, "Bennie," toward the court. Bryant then leaned back and muttered what appeared to be a gay slur.

TNT announcer Steve Kerr picked up on Bryant's outburst and said: "You might wanna take the cameras off of him right now, for the children watching from home."

"The video from Tuesday's game is under review by the NBA," league spokesman Tim Frank said to ESPNLosAngeles.com via email.

Yeah, it's queer he should be mouthing that garbage . . .

so what did he say. I tried to watch the video but the damn Pause circle was right in front of his face and mouth.

I don't know how I feel about this.

He was just trying to win the mother ******* game!

Meh, he got mad and called the ref a faggot. He should probably be past that at this point in his life but I don't see the big deal.

I'm sure I was guilty of that same offense more than once in high school sports. The only difference is he's on TV.

Move along folks.

This is an affront to all Homos everywhere.

Well said. I didn't want to give my opinion on this because its soo ridiculous, and any thing I might say will be portrayed as bias...

Kobe has a wide contingency of haters, and this is just more fuel for them to drive their hate.


Kobe is an arrogant *******, but calling someone you are pissed at a "faggot" doesn't warrant this much attention...Sorry.

Kobe Rapes..

David Stern is the devil.

I'm pretty sure he's a guard but I don't believe he'll be a free agent for a few more years.

True. I already hate Kobe, for example, and this incident neither lessens nor increases my disdain for him.
