Joakim Noah Might Be Fined for Yelling Gay Slur
Chicago Bulls Key Player Might Face Penalty
Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah may soon be fined by the NBA for having apparently yelled a gay slur at Heat fan.
During Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday night (which the Heat won 96-85), Noah was caught by TNT cameras apparently saying, "F*** you, f*****" to someone in the crowd.
Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 last month for having called a referee a "f***ing f*****" after he received a technical foul.
Although Noah was not seen yelling anything at an official, there is still the possibility that the NBA might decide to issue some kind of punishment.
