Double Flop James and David West

Check out the Double Flop between James and David West in game 4. Heat's LeBron James and Pacers' David West and Lance Stephenson were each fined $5,000 for flops committed in Indiana's 99-92 victory Tuesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. That flop is really ridiculous, I can't believe refs fall for that.

Pacers' Hibbert fined for gay slur and cursing

Indiana Pacers' Roy Hibbert was fined $75,000 on Sunday by the NBA for gay slur and cursing at the news conference after Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.

"While Roy has issued an apology, which is no doubt sincere, a fine is necessary to reinforce that such offensive comments will not be tolerated by the NBA," Commissioner David Stern said in a statement.

Earlier Hibbert apologized for his "insensitive remarks."

"They were disrespectful and offensive and not a reflection of my personal views," he said in the statement. "I used a slang term that is not appropriate in any setting, private or public, and the language I used definitely has no place in a public forum, especially over live television."

Hibbert ended a response to a question about his defense on Miami's LeBron James with "no homo," a phrase that implies fear of appearing gay. He also called reporters "mother f--s."

Manny Pacquiao may never again fight in U.S.

Bob Arum, Manny Pacquiao’s promoter said the Filipino boxer may never fight in the U.S. again.

Arum revealed it when he was asked about Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s bold decision to take on Mexico’s star unbeaten world super-welterweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on Sept. 14 in Las Vegas.

Does that stroke by the 36-year-old Mayweather indicate he’s never felt so confident in his abilities? Meaning the long-awaited Pacquiao super-fight could be back on the table next year after Pacquiao fights Oxnard’s former world lightweight champion Brandon Rios on Nov. 23 in Macau, China?

“Let’s not even go there,” said Arum, who has failed repeatedly in attempts with Mayweather Jr. and the boxer’s promoter, Richard Schaefer, to stage the super-fight.

“By fighting outside the country, as he’s doing in this Rios fight, Manny doesn’t have to pay U.S. taxes anymore – at a rate of 40% for a foreign athlete.

“If this pay-per-view and other things take off like we think they may, I can’t imagine Pacquiao will ever again fight in the U.S.”

Arum said in addition to holding the fight on the morning of Nov. 24 on the gambling resort locale so the pay-per-view will air live on a Saturday night in the U.S., he’s struck a deal to allow Chinese consumers to purchase Pacquiao-Rios for what equates to $5 to view the bout on their tablets or cellphones.

“We could do as many as $10 million to $20 million in sales with this. It changes everything. Will it work? We’ll see in November.”

Arum has also negotiated with resorts in Singapore for a possible future Pacquiao bout.

Kanaan is a champion at last. It was one of Indy's most popular victories.

The losing drivers were pleased with the win, evidenced by a scene similar to rivals lining up to congratulate Dale Earnhardt when he finally won the Daytona 500 on his 20th try. Dario Franchitti, whose crash brought out the race-ending caution, stood grinning by his crumpled car, two thumbs up as Kanaan passed under yellow.

"When I saw who was leading, it cheered me up a little bit,'' said Franchitti, last year's winner. ''He's a very, very deserving winner."

The fans gave him a standing ovation as they scream "TK! TK! TK!" when he and team owner Jimmy Vasser went by during the traditional victory lap. It felt magical to Kanaan, like he had given the crowd at Indianapolis Motor Speedway a gift.
