For NBA fans, Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert is probably more known for his postgame banter than his stellar performance during this yearโ€™s playoff games. His commentary after the Pacerโ€™s Game 6 victory, in which the 7-foot-2 player uttered a gay slur (โ€œno 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.

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 heโ€™d like to be a character in the next Call of Duty title.
