I don't care for the use of ' got' as a derogatory term. It's inappropriate for the reasons already stated. But I'm not surprised by it, athletes are frequently caught swearing on national television. It's really unfortunate that he finds it appropriate to use that term in that way, no matter who was watching.
its just kobe trying to be like jordan.
Just Kobe being Kobe, what's new? I caught it last night when it happened live, wasnt sure if others on here had caught it....
Honestly, he should have been tossed with a second tech when he slammed the back of his seat and threw his towel to the ground.
Athletes swear. Always have, always will. Deal with it or don't watch. The choice is yours.
Wow. That is a great point. You should be a lawyer or something.
Glad I could help.
Go Spurs.
I think the point of all this is that Kobe is the face of the NBA and he continually makes an ass out of himself. Yes, Timmy once told Joey Crawford " You", but he didn't call him a pillow biter.
I can't think of any other perennial MVP candidate that acts as childish and spoiled as Kobe.
I swear too. A lot. My favorite word is .
You are correct that many athletes swear. However, my greater issue (though that's giving it more credit than it deserves in my opinion) is his use of a phobic slur to make clear his disgust for the ref. It's sad, to me, that he finds that an acceptable way to show disgust/anger/disappointment. The fact that ' got' jumps to his mind as insult to be hurled in the heat of the moment is the central point.
I find it unfortunate, in Kobe or anyone. National tv or not. It's disappointing in this day and age that people still think that phobic terms are appropriate, just as it's disappointing when people refer men, especially athletes, as being pussies or walking vaginas or whatever other term for female genitalia one cares to use.
Does it happen all the time? Yeah. Do many of us say similar things? Yeah. Does that make it right or appropriate? No.
I'm glad he got called out. If Timmy D says the same thing, call him out too.
Magic and Jordan are assholes as well
(dont get me wrong I hate Kobe)
The only reason this is an issue is because it's Kobe
I hate Kobe more than almost any player in the NBA.. but seriously.. who gives a ? Get over it.
phobic? I hate when people say this . Was the ref gay? If the ref was gay, I'd understand. If not, he's just saying got as an insult.
The NBA just fined him $100K.

Of course, $100K is like a parking ticket for Kobe.
Yeah, especially because Kobe is the biggest got of them all.
Kobe once paid $4M to put an issue behind him.
lol dude thats what i thought he said when the camera zoomed in but i was like who the is he calling a F****t
I'm surprised no one's posted a gif image of this yet.
I'm not gonna play catchup in this thread, so all I gotta say is who gives a flying !!?
