Garnett to Melo (allegedly): "Your wife tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios."

That elbow was the equivalent of a sucker punch. What was KG supposed to do, retaliate and get suspended? The last I checked, we're talking about the NBA, not MMA.

 

They no have Honey Nut?

 

No wiggle room on cancer comments or mothers' deaths. None.

But tossing out "Honey Nut Cheerios" in the heat of the moment, in the way Garnett used it? That's damn creative.

Carmelo was a ninny for letting that rattle him. Pete Vuckovich's character and Crash Davis exchanged nastier barbs.

Wonder, though, how Mrs. Garnett felt about her hubby proclaiming his gourmet ways with other NBAers wives, for humor, competitive edge or whatever.

 

Carmelo never should have let stuff rattle him. Just imagine what Dennis Rodman could have done to him.

 

"She's a lesbian!"

 

Creative or no, it's pretty weak shit to essentially say "I fucked your wife." (Unless you're Tupac.) Have enough pride to keep wives and kids out of it. Garnett is the epitome of fake tough. He's a great player, one of the all-time greats even, but he's spent his entire career picking on dudes half his size, and running from them when they retaliate. Charles Oakley would have broke him like a toothpick just for fun.

 

"Man, Oak just don't give a fuck."

My favorite quote in Simmons' NBA book.

 

KG had no choice after failing to land a point with "the jerk store called."

 

Not impressed.

 

This story would have been so much greater if KG told Melo that his wife tasted like cheese crackers.

 

So what Garnett is saying is that his tummy was tempted by the taste of nuts and honey?

It's a honey of an (Carmel) O, it's Honey Nut Cheerios.

Cue the "That's Racist" kid!
