Let’s take it back to when Carmelo Anthony was still with the Knicks, and Kevin Garnett was still with the Celtics.
Now, remember when Melo and KG got into it and almost fought on the court? It was the maddest Melo has ever gotten and even reportedly waited for KG at the Celtic team bus and had to be taken away.
All because KG allegedly told Melo that his wife, LaLa, tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios. Ironically, this is one of the stories that put BSO in the mainstream landscape.
Fast forward to now, KG has finally talked about that moment in an interview with GQ and said he’s never said anything to Melo about LaLa and that he’s a Frosted Flakes man.
I ask Garnett if he feels contrite about his record as a transgressive trash talker, from allegedly calling former Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva “a cancer patient” to berating Celtics teammate Glen Davis until he cried on the bench. Garnett mentions Joakim Noah, and how getting into the younger big man’s head yielded a competitive advantage the first time they squared off. “If I’d have known he was a huge fan like that, I probably wouldn’t have went so hard, but I’m in competition,” he says. “I’m a dragon. I’m out here [breathes fire].”
Then Garnett touches on one of his more notorious skirmishes, the time he allegedly said some very personal things about Carmelo Anthony’s then wife, La La, during a game: “I’ve never said anything about anyone’s family. I’ve never said anything to Melo about La La. I’m a Frosted Flakes man. I’m not a Honey Nut Cheerios guy. I never knew where that came from. Let me clear that up.”
So there you have it, LaLa does not reportedly taste like Honey Nut Cheerios.
Do you believe KG? While you ponder that, here are fans chanting Honey Nut Cheerios and more of Lala that you don’t want to miss.
