Joakim Noah Hurls Gay Slur at Heat Fans During Game 3 For All to See on TNT National Telecast Joakim Noah isn’t the most likable guy in the NBA.

His actions on Sunday night in South Beach certainly didn’t help him win over any fans, either.

After fouling LeBron James in the first quarter of Miami’s win, Noah belted out a gay slur toward a group of Heat fans — much like Lakers star Kobe Bryant did earlier this season, which resulted in a $100,000 fine.

After the game, Noah, who finished with one point and five rebounds in over 29 minutes, was quick to apologize.

“A fan said something, and I said something back,” he told USA Today. “I apologized. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I got caught up. I didn’t mean any disrespect to anybody.”

I don’t know who this is, or what he won, but I know this: He isn’t good enough to wield a giant glass of beer like his teammate did, and he isn’t handsome enough to try to kiss any fan he pleases.
