For NBA fans, Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert is probably more known for his postgame banter than his stellar performance during this yearโs playoff games. His commentary after the Pacerโs Game 6 victory, in which the 7-foot-2 player uttered a gay slur (โno homoโ), followed by a profanity, resulted in a $75,000 fine. Hibbert later apologized for his postgame press conference remarks, and went on to score a reported 18 points and 8 rebounds in 38 minutes against the Miami Heat in Game 7.
Suggested Reading
Despite his recent hiccup, Hibbert has made news againโฆbut this time for his game off the court. The Georgetown University graduate is a hardcore gamer, and weโre not talking just the NBA 2K series. Hibbert has been a hardcore Call of Duty player since his college days. Heโs a good player and a big fan, too. So much so that video game company Activision brought him out to the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) to check out Call of Duty: Ghosts. BlackEnterprise.com caught up with the avid gamer at his first E3 to talk about his interest in gaming, what he hates about multiplayer video games and why heโd like to be a character in the next Call of Duty title.
