Kai Cenat discusses LaMelo Ball's $100,000 fine with 4x NBA champion
During his Mafiathon Stream event last month, Kai Cenat had four-time NBA champion Andre Iguodala make an appearance, and one of their topics of discussion was LaMelo Ball's $100,000 fine.
Ball had used an anti-gay term during a postgame interview last month that led to the NBA issuing the maximum penalty, citing Ball's use of an "offensive and derogatory comment" after the Hornets' 115-114 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Nov. 16.
Andre Iguodala, who is the executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, expanded on the league's decision during his appearance on Kai Cenat's stream.
"You know, you say something. We say, 'Pause,' but he used the other version of pause," Iguodala said. "Y'all can say it. N.H."
"Oh, 'No h*mo,'" Cenat said.
"Yeah, you can't say that in the NBA," Iguodala said. "It's insensitive, it's derogatory to a group, and we got a big fan base, and we don't wanna (offend anyone), you know what I'm saying?"
Kai Cenat also expressed shock about the heftiness of the fine. Andre Iguodala agreed with Cenat that the penalty was "a bit much" and said the NBPA would "fight that one."
However, LaMelo took accountability for his actions and apologized for using the anti-gay term in his following postgame interview.
"Before we get started, I just want to address the comment yesterday," Ball told reporters. "I really didn't mean anything (by it) and don't want to offend anybody. I've got love for everybody, and I don't discriminate."
Charlotte Hornets coach Charles Lee further added that Ball was "very apologetic" and that he planned to use his slip as a learning experience.
