Lately, the NFL has witnessed all sorts of unique celebrations. Earlier it was Zay Flowers‘ flower celebration and now this time, it is Tyreek Hill‘s celebration. But suspending the cameraman who participated in it seems a bit too far. At least, that’s what the NBA star LeBron James thinks.

After scoring six in the game against the Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins wideout Hill raced through the end zone. There he caught his photographer and good friend Kevin Fitzgibbons filming him. To add more charm to it and intensify the celebration, Hill took the camera from him and carried out a selfie backflip. They both were in great spirits, capturing one of the best moments in the NFL this year.

However, their actions had to serve severe consequences as the referees penalized Hill for using a prop during the game and also fined him. While his cameraman Fitzgibbons’ credentials were pulled for the rest of the 2023 season. Although he couldn’t say much other than to accept the decision by the officials, the Lakers forward stood in his defense.

In a recent Instagram story, James posted a picture of the suspension news with the caption:

 Man this is F'd UP!!! Suspended for the year and possibly for good! C'mon NFL! Do better! Sh** ain't that serious.

While talking about the matter, Fitzgibbons accepted the decision and also thanked the NFL for giving him the opportunity in the first place. While the All-Pro receiver Hill preferred not commenting on the matter, saying:

I would comment but I could get fined.
