The NBA secretariat said on the 18th (Korean time) 'After the game against Milwaukee-Shalott, LaMelo Ball made aggressive and derogatory remarks. We will impose a fine of $100,000' it was officially announced.
Milwaukee and Charlotte played on the 17th.
A controversial decision has been made. LaMelo Ball got a foul free throw at the end of the game.
As soon as the ball broke through, Janis Antetokounmpo defended. The ball slipped and fell, but the referee called a foul. The final decision did not change. It was a foul because Antetokounmpo had his arm slightly crossed.
In the end, Ball scored a valuable free throw, and Charlotte won 115 to 114.
When asked about this scene, Ball said 'We take responsibility. It's not homo. We wanted to win, and we accept and live according to the result.
Homo (homosexual) became a big problem.
The NBA secretariat said it was `too light and derogatory.'
Discriminatory remarks by homosexuals in the NBA are strictly punished. Cam Thomas, one of the 2023 Brooklyn Nets' flagship players, said 'We only have good-looking players, not homos' and was fined $40,000.
In addition, Kobe Bryant, who changed his name, was suspended for $100,000 for homosexuality slander to referee Benny Adams, who came out of being gay, and for maligning referee Bill Kennedy, who came out of being gay as well.
