Saying too much. 5-4-11

Kobe Bryant is debatably one of the best players in the NBA (National Basketball Association). Every game for the past 15 years the boy has been killin' it. Triple doubles aren't a rare occurance when Kobe plays. But being one of the best players in the game, and at times people get a little big headed. 

A few games back, after receiving a technical foul during a game against the San Antonio Spurs, Kobe stormed to the bench, hit his seat and threw a towel and yelled "Bennie!" referring to referee Bennie Adams. Then he proceeded to mumble "Fu**ing fa***t" a gay slur.

NBA commissioner David Stern called this act by Bryant "offensive and inexcusable." Kobe was fined $100,000 by the NBA after the rude comment.

After the game, gay and lesbian groups started to cry foul after hearing what Kobe said, Bryant replied.

"My actions were out of frustration during the heat of the game, period," he said. "The words expressed do NOT reflect my feelings towards the gay and lesbian communities and were NOT meant to offend anyone."
