Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert was fined $75,000 on Sunday by the NBA for using a gay slur and cursing during his news conference after Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.

After Saturday night's win, Hibbert ended a response to a question about his defense on Miami's LeBron James with ''no homo,'' a phrase that implies fear of appearing gay. He also called reporters an offensive term.

Hibbert was later asked why he finished so low in voting for Defensive Player of the Year, telling reporters that it was ''because y'all (expletives) don't watch us play throughout the year, to tell you the truth.''

There was some irony in that Hibbert was sharing the dais with George when he said those words. George was the NBA's Most Improved Player this season, as selected earlier this spring by a voting panel of writers and broadcasters who cover the league.
