Carmelo Anthony said a couple of the words you can’t say on television. But given the extenuating circumstances, the Thunder forward won’t have to pay the NBA.
After Oklahoma City beat the Clippers on Thursday, Anthony conducted a courtside interview with Nick Gallo on the Fox Sports Oklahoma broadcast. As Anthony answered a question, Russell Westbrook crept into the live shot and poured water from a plastic bottle onto Anthony’s head.
“Ahh, motherf-----!” Anthony shouted in shock. “S---!”
Though the league prohibits players from using what it labels “inappropriate language” during live TV interviews, Anthony won’t face a fine for his mistake, a league source told The Oklahoman on Friday.
