Have you ever wondered what causes NBA players to get in each other’s faces? What is said to set another off the edge? Kevin Garnett is known as one of the premiere defenders in the league. He also is known for his trash talking. Garnett once called Charlie Villanueva, a alopecia universalis patient, a cancer patient. This past Tuesday, he and Carmelo Anthony got into an altercation on the court. Anthony is reportedly having “maritial issues” with Lala Anthony. The two have been apparently living separately for the past few months. Lala even celebrated New Year’s in South Miami without Carmelo. Garnett decided to take advantage of this. KG allegedly told Anthony that his wife “tasted like honey.” With all of the built up emotions, this would explain why Anthony went after Garnett not only during the game, but he also waited for him by the bus. Security had to confront Carmelo to step away.
This is a definite low blow by Garnett; however, it shows he will take whatever edge he can get.
