It had been reported a couple days ago on ESPN that Kenyon Martin and Metta World Peace got in a very heated argument during practice and had to be separated. While both players denied the incident ever happened, most were hesitant to believe them. However, Metta’s explanation seems at least somewhat plausible.
It’s a good thing that an actual fight never broke out because a Kenyon-Metta brawl would literally end the universe. Besides, Metta was totally out of line here— shell pasta is awesome, although it doesn’t surprise me that Metta prefers the “Elbow” Style…

The Knicks could make millions if they sold team-themed Stress Balls.
With 8 seconds left in the Nets-Lakers game and Lakers Guard Jodie Meeks preparing to shoot game-clinching free throws for Los Angeles, Nets Coach Jason Kidd spilled his drink on the floor, causing the game to be briefly delayed before Meeks hit his free throws to put Brooklyn’s comeback effort to bed. Why was Kidd drinking instead of drawing up a play? Was he trying to ice the shooter? What was in his drink? Who will drive him home? So many questions, and we’ll never have the answers… Or do we? Was this intentional? A video posted of the incident shows Jason Kidd apparently saying “Hit Me” to Taylor right before the spill…
UPDATE: Kidd has been fined $50,000 by the NBA.
