Kobe Bryant -- Homophobic Slur During NBA Game?

4/13/2011 6:34 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

Kobe Bryant appeared to hurl a homophobic slur towards an NBA referee during a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game last night ... and it was all caught on tape.

It happened during the 3rd quarter after Kobe got hit with a technical foul. The NBA star -- clearly upset -- screams for the ref (Bennie Adams) and appears to mouth the words, "F**king f**got."

One of the announcers then comments, "You might wanna take the cameras off of him right now, for the children watching."

UPDATE: A rep for the team tells us, "The Lakers can not confirm that is what Kobe said or not."

1. Kobe has behaved pretty badly this year

He's got a ton of technical fouls and he's been involved in altercations. The Lakers are on a cold streak lately, but that's no excuse. I think the Heat have gotten into his head. The Lakers lost to them twice.

2. because so many kids can lip-read ...

of course, a lot of kids can read T-shirts with the expletive "F*ck" on it, which Faux had on camera for quite some time ... but then, since Fux is such a slobbering media outlet for Republican lies, they were never treated to the same fines as the Janet Jackson .00001 second boob shot ...
