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."

Bryant was not initially available for comment.

"We haven't seen the video, so it would be inappropriate for us to comment on it," a Lakers spokesperson told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Wednesday.

The Lakers are battling the Mavericks for the second seed in the West. They beat the Spurs 102-93 on Tuesday.

On Monday, the league rescinded Bryant's 15th technical of the season. If it had stood, he would have received his 16th on Tuesday and would have been suspended for the Lakers' season finale. If he receives another T on Wednesday, he would be suspended for the first game next season. Technical counts start over in the playoffs.

Kobe Bryant's outburst under review by NBA (http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/sports/pro/basketball&id=8070759)
John Hartung

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Video of an apparent outburst from Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is under review by the NBA on Wednesday.

Frustrations were already high for Bryant and the Lakers on Tuesday night. They were riding a five-game losing streak and struggling against a San Antonio Spurs team that sat their three best players for a game the leakers needed to win to help their playoff positioning.

After being whistled for an offensive foul and then a technical foul during the third quarter, Bryant went to the bench and was visibly upset with referee Bennie Adams. The camera then caught Bryant directing what appeared to be a gay slur toward Adams.

The Lakers went on to win the game 102-93.

Bryant talked to the media after the win, but he was not asked about using the slur.

"We haven't seen the video, so it would be inappropriate for us to comment on it," the Lakers organization said in a statement.

The Human Rights Campaign pressed Bryant and the Lakers to address the issue immediately.

"What a disgrace for Kobe Bryant to use such horribly offensive and distasteful language, especially when millions of people are watching," the organization said in a statement.

The Lakers are in Sacramento for Wednesday night's regular season finale against the Kings.

The NBA is reviewing the tape from the game. A fine appears likely, and there's a possibility of a suspension for Wednesday night's game.

The league should issue its response later on in the day.

Great point Kool. Totally forgot about MJ calling Kwame a faggot. Yet for some reason he gets a pass and people have their pitchforks out for Kobe.

Here's the deal, folks. You start a sentence like this . . . you've lost my attention, forever. End of story. Okay? You're another whore at the retard wigga gang-bang, and if you do it again, there's a price on your head.

Everything you say is suspect and every word that comes out of your mouth is now like a turd falling into my drink.

How about a suspension from the playoff opener instead?

[Giuseppe]

Kobe needs to settle down. It's similar to how he was acting at the start of Game 7 last June. Cept now he's near maniacal & mean instead of giddy & expectant.

Perhaps Magic can approach him, or, Fish again like he did during the Game 7 intervention.

He's like me sometimes here. I get going and I can't stop. Then Kori shows up, admonishes me and I can see clearly.

I feel bad for Kobe. He's a tortured human being, frankly, NBA withstanding.

As some has said that slur is not taken literal ...heck kids say "that's gay" and dont even know what the fruck that really means. That being said Kobe has an image though somewhat tarnished he should know better.

Mj would of told him "faggots buy Nikes too" just like Republicans! LOL

[Jacob1983]

This is fail if you ask me. 100K for saying "fag"? Really? If you're gonna fine Kobe for saying fag then Stern might as well fine every NBA player in the league right now. How many times in the typical NBA game, do you think players call each other fags, bitches, hoes, niggas, ######s, pieces of shit, etc...? This is ridiculous.

Kobe’s fury: blessing and curse (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-wojnarowski_kobe_bryant_temper_concerns_lakers_041 411)
By Adrian Wojnarowski

The most excruciating truth is Kobe Bryant is so much smarter, so much more aware, so much more eloquent. His temper is relentless and too often it overcomes his better judgment. This gets him unnecessary technical fouls, and finally something far, far worse: “Hey Bennie!” he screamed to official Bennie Adams, and there was no chance – no way – that director would let the camera shot leave Kobe now. He yelled at the referee and something regrettable promised to come tumbling out of his mouth and into living rooms.

The expletives followed, and your stomach drops there. What makes that kind of homophobic slur so much harder to hear is when it comes from someone who understands the social implications, the ramifications. He’s Kobe Bryant and the television lenses never leave him.

As the playoffs start on Saturday, Bryant and the Lakers are still the most compelling storyline in the tournament. As Phil Jackson goes for his 12th title in his final season as coach, Bryant chases Michael Jordan and a sixth championship. There will never be another Jordan, but Kobe has been the closest the sport’s come to him.

In so many ways, there’s no catching Michael. In this way, the mark of championships, there’s a way to match him. Bryant wants it badly because it will separate him for the ages. LeBron James is a forever talent, but it’s hard to believe he can still win six titles.

Bryant’s 32 years old, and that simmering rage within him is still such a blessing and curse in his basketball life. He should be past these moments of temporary insanity, past the needless technical fouls and the brief windows within games when his emotions rule him. It hurts the Lakers on the court, it hurts him. He’s comes too far out of his tumultuous 20s and into what’s been a second act as a thirty-something NBA superstar to regress now.

How can this buffoon Wojnarowski write a puff piece on Bryant atthis hour? What else does this guy need to do to prove to the world that he's a reprehensible human being? He's a disgrace to sports.

Yet Wojnarowski would rather lambast LeBron James.

Shame on Bryant. Shame on Wojnarowski. And shame on Yahoo for paying this moron to write.

Lakers to work with GLAAD on fighting gay slurs (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-lakers-bryantslur)
By Greg Beacham

The Los Angeles Lakers will work with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation on ways to keep anti-gay slurs out of basketball.

The Lakers and GLAAD announced a partnership Friday, three days after Kobe Bryant was spotted on a national television broadcast yelling a common homophobic slur in frustration over a referee’s call. Bryant was fined $100,000 by the league, and the sixth-leading scorer in NBA history issued multiple apologies.

“We want to reaffirm our commitment to all our fans and our appreciation for the support we receive from all segments of society,” Lakers spokesman John Black said. “We also understand the importance of positive messages in helping us convey this. We appreciate the input we’ve received from GLAAD the past two days, and will look forward to working with them on ways to help educate ourselves and our fans, and to help keep language like this out of our game.”

GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios said his organization will advocate zero-tolerance policies for anti-gay slurs at sports events, similar to a policy adopted by the New York Yankees at the new Yankee Stadium.

“In light of this slur, there is a real opportunity to build support for our community and educate fans of Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the NBA about the use of such words,” Barrios said. “The Los Angeles Lakers have taken a positive step, and we look forward to working with them to create messages from players and coaches that combat bullying.”

GLAAD said NBA executives also have agreed to meet with the organization to discuss educational tactics for the NBA’s young fans.
