Carmelo Anthony lost his cool after Boston Celtics bigmouth
Kevin Garnett reportedly said his wife “tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios†— a dig at Anthony, who is estranged from his sweet spouse.
The NBA superstars nearly came to blows Monday night after Garnett incorporated the General Mills cereal in a fit of trash talking about reality TV-star La La Anthony.
LAWRENCE: KNICKS STAR NEEDS TO MELO OUT
“Your... wife tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios,†Garnett told Anthony in a heated Eastern Conference game at Madison Square Garden, according to the
website Black Sports Online.
Garnett’s slight came off as offensive and tasteless to Melo, who is having marital problems, a source told the Daily News.

Garnett and Anthony had to be separated on court and both were hit with technical fouls. But the insult left Anthony so upset
he sought out Garnett after the 102-96 Knicks loss, apparently to settle the score.
An infuriated Anthony yelled at Garnett outside the Celtics’ locker room immediately after the game. He then tried to confront Garnett later as the Celtics were boarding their team bus to leave the Garden.
Garden security, five NYPD cops and Knicks coach Mike Woodson raced to defuse a potentially volatile scene at the midtown arena.
Anthony and his wife have been living apart for at least two months, and La La rang in the New Year without him in Miami’s South Beach, the source said.
“Getting ready to shut down Miami TONIGHT. Happy New Year!†La La tweeted from South Beach on New Year’s Eve.
Anthony refused Tuesday to
confirm what Garnett said to set him off, but he acknowledged that the caustic Celtic “crossed the line.â€
"It’s something you just don’t say to men, another man,†Anthony said following practice at the Knicks’ training facility in Greenburgh.
“My mindset and motive of going back there to see him at the locker room and seeing him at the bus, I wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with him and talk about it like two grown men,†Anthony said.
Anthony, 28, did call Garnett, 36, after the confrontation at the Garden bus ramp, according to NBA sources.
League officials are looking into the incident, as it does with all matters involving players requiring police to stop an altercation.
“Nothing happened for me to be suspended,†Anthony said. “I wanted to talk to K.G. and I think it was something we both needed to get off our chests and see what really was the problem. There were no altercations. It was just words and a conversation we just needed to have.â€
