Man Sues Mark Cuban, Carmelo Anthony, Jerry Buss & Jerry Reinsdorf
Hilarious
Jonathan Lee Riches is suing Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Denver Nuggets superstar Carmelo Anthony, Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss and Chciago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf from his prison cell. Riches is not new to suing people as he has sued George Bush, Martha Stewart, Steve Jobs, Michael Vick, Lady Gaga and even Somali pirates in the past. In his suit he says
Carmelo Anthony told me he is going to kill me … I was his former boyfriend and we were in a sexual relationship in 2000.
Mark Cuban stole my credit cards and tried to buy the Texas Rangers with my money. Mark Cuban assaulted me serving ice cream at Dairy Queen.
Jerry Buss sold me Jeannie Buss on eBay and I was promised a Lakers janitor job when I get out of prison for less than minimum wage.
Obviously, these are all not true.
Mama Margie’s Major Meltdown: Carmelo Anthony
Carmelo Anthony
Every Thursday Sports Grind Entertainment will present you with the Mama Margie’s Major Meltdown. The recipient of this honor goes to Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony for going onto his Twitter account and publicly seeking a hit out on rap groupie Kat Stacks for the amount of $5,000.
Shortly after 3:00 AM Sunday morning Kat went on her Twitter account, @iHateKatStacks, to tweet to Anthony asking if he tasted like caramel. Her tweet was retweeted and it prompted a response from Carmelo’s new wife La La Vazquez.
“Come get these bird seeds i left for you @ihatekatstacks…I AINT THE ONE…I’m only gonna tell you ONE time.”
That prompted a tweet from her NBA husband offering $5,000 to anyone that would slap Kat Stacks. He followed with another tweet asking whoever was to accomplish it to
“record it and send it to me along with name and address. real talk” and came with a link to a picture of the $5,000.
Earlier reports had Anthony deleting his Twitter account however followed that turned out to be false as he tweeted later in the day saying that his account was hacked. Kat Stacks has tweeted the FBI are now involved in the situation and if charged Anthony could face a conspiring to commit criminal acts charge. The FBI isn’t the only one looking into the online threats but the NBA has issued a statement saying they are investigating the matter.
“So the FBI getting involved since its an internet case. Just filed a police report on @CarmeloAnthony. Don’t you ever put my life and my son life in danger!”
A thanks goes out to one of our callers, Jeff, for his making Anthony his nomination as the Mama Margie’s Major Meltdown of the week.
Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony Offers $5,000 To Slap Female
I Still Haven't Forgotten Your Stop Snitching Video Excuse
If you don’t know who Kat Stacks it’s OK, your just not in tune with hip hop groupies but just because she’s a groupie doesn’t mean you can hate her hustle. Kat has been making her rounds the last couple of years compiling herself a list of who’s who of rappers that she’s been with. Instead of allowing rappers to be the only ones to cash in on her name through their lyrics, she’s taken it upon herself to play the game too and out your favorite rap star.
It’s been everything from their phone numbers, to the size of their disco stick. In her most recent video she went on to expose rapper Soulja Boy as a coke head with images of lawyer size cocaine rails on a dresser to how his cocaine use effected his disco stick during sex.
Her way of doing things, her way she goes about her self promotion has already angered the fans of artists Bow Wow and Fabolous. So much so that she was slapped repeatedly in a hotel bar and told to “apologize to Fab and Bow Wow” by a group of male fans. But she continues to be the new Superhead in the game.
Shortly after 3:00 AM Sunday morning Kat went on her Twitter account, @iHateKatStacks, to tweet to Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony asking if he tasted like caramel. Her tweet was retweeted and it prompted a response from Carmelo’s new wife La La Vazquez.
“Come get these bird seeds i left for you @ihatekatstacks…I AINT THE ONE…I’m only gonna tell you ONE time.”
That prompted a tweet from her NBA husband offering $5,000 to anyone that would slap Kat Stacks. He followed with another tweet asking whoever was to accomplish it to
“record it and send it to me along with name and address. real talk” and came with a link to a picture of the $5,000.
Contrary to earlier reports Anthony did not delete his Twitter account but did post a tweet saying that his account was hacked.
Whatever. I’m serious done with athletes using Twitter like it’s barbershop talk and when that talk ends up endangering their standing with their employer or league commissioner, they run to the my account was hacked card. But what about your wife’s account Carmelo? Your selling me a bunch of bull and I’m not buying it.
Denver Nuggets J.R. Smith Involved in Altercation At Practice Facility
Going To Cool Your Temper Anytime Soon Earl?
Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith was involved in an altercation at the Nuggets practice facility that led to the police being called out. Numerous players were taking part in drills when members of the Nuggets coaching staff told a former NBA Development League player to get physical with Smith and that’s when he tried to choke the player. The player later called the police.
“They were just wanting the guy to be physical with J.R., telling the other guys, ‘Hey, body up on the guys and really make them work,” according to an eyewitness. “J.R. just lost it. He tried to choke the kid, and the kid called the cops.”
The police investigated the incident and passed the information along to the District Attorney, who chose not to file charges. The incident may or may not have been that severe, but the fact is the Nuggets have been looking to move Smith for several weeks now.
WTF: J.R. Smith

Miami Dolphins Brandon Marshall Wants To Play In The NBA
It Wont Be Long Before March
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall is already have plans for his career in the event of an NFL lockout and that’s to play in the NBA. With the NFLPA advising players to sock away 25% of their income Marshall is looking to play shooting guard for the Miami Heat or play shooting guard for the Denver Nuggets.
“Right now I’m no good,” the tree-time high school hoops letterman. “If I try out right now, they’ll be saying, ‘What is this guy thinking?’ But after some training I’ll be fine. I’ll be right back where I used to be.”
“Probably the better situation for me may be the Heat,” Marshall said. “They got those high salaries. I’ll come in and play (for the) minimum. … I just need minimum. Not for free. Minimum.”
Marshall is slated to make roughly $10 million from the Dolphins in 2011 and a minimum salary gig with the Heat would pay him around $500,000.
Denver Nuggets Kenyon Martin Fixes Dumbest Athlete Tattoo
Noooooooo!
Since today’s athletes are heavily tatted up, I often would get approached on who I thought had the most ridiculous tattoo in the game and without hesitation the answer was always Denver Nuggets Kenyon Martin lips tattoo of girlfriend and rapper Trina.
However Martin has updated the tattoo to update the status of the now over relationship. So who takes over now that Martin has gotten a touch up? I couldn’t tell you, I’m still in shock with Martins decision, so who do you got?
Denver Nuggets Ty Lawson Likes Guys With Big Hands & Bigggg Feet
OOOOK?
Denver Nuggets guard Ty Lawson decided to let the world know some interesting facts about himself last night, when he went onto Twitter and professed his liking of guys with big hands and bigggg feet. Besides the randomness of the tweet it was more unusual of the timing of it all.
That very tweet was surrounded by Lawson confession that he loves some meat and that he was on his way to Pizza Hut to get on some extra meat lovers. That’s definitely left some wondering, especially now that those very tweets have been deleted.
Now the glass half empty guy might look at the situation and just chalk it up as Lawson is a guy that really likes meat, guys with big hands, bigggg feet and extra meat lovers at Pizza Hut. However the glass half full guy might take it as an NBA player coming out the closet. Which one are you?

Former NBA Player Arrested For Abducting Son
Your Breaking Rudy J's Heart
Back on April 10, we posted the story of former Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets and 1994 Slam Dunk Contest winner Isaiah Rider being arrested after three incidents in five days. Now you can add a fourth arrest to his record just in the month of April alone, this time for abducting his one-month-old son.
Police ended the manhunt for the ex-NBA player in Mesa, Arizona. Rider took his son on Tuesday at 2 p.m. and was finally found in a cab a little after 1 a.m. Wednesday. What’s up with this guy and cabs?
Isaiah Rider IV, was unharmed and in good health and returned to his mother while Rider Jr. was taken to police headquarters. Mesa Police Department spokesperson Michael Melendez said Rider Jr. is a known drug addict who can be violent and would likely run if confronted by police. When the police department places that label upon you, you know your life is spiraling out of control.
Detriot Fan Ends 4 Year Streak Of Wearing Pistons Jerseys Everyday
True Blue
Detroit Pistons fan Eric Matecun is ending his four year run of wearing a Pistons jersey everyday. The 12-year-old from Wixom, Michigan has gone 1,460 days straight wearing a Pistons jersey has decided to end the run today.
Eric was eight when the streak began, taking a cue from his 10-year-old brother, Bryan, who had begun doing the same thing three weeks earlier. Bryan’s streak ended when he became a freshman at Walled Lake Western last fall, opting for a more traditional high school wardrobe.
Eric inherited all of his brother’s jerseys but wore at least nine different ones during the streak, and that’s just the ones he can recall: Arron Afflalo, Chauncey Billups, two of Rip Hamilton, Jason Maxiell, Tayshaun Prince, Ronald Stuckey, Ben Wallace (3, not 6), and a personalized one with his name and favorite number, 43.
The Afflalo jersey is sore spot for Terri, who bought the No. 28 jersey just weeks before he was traded to Denver Nuggets. If the player wasn’t going to wear a Pistons jersey with his name on it, Eric wouldn’t, either.
The player turnover has been tough on a lot of fans, who watched the Pistons slip from title contention to the draft lottery over the last four years but though it all Eric found a way to show off his Pistons pride.
Stan Kroenke Trying To Buy All Of The St. Louis Rams & Keep Potential Buyer Shahid Khan Out
They Need To Go Back To This Logo
Stan Kroenke who currently owns 40% of the St. Louis Rams and Missouri native is trying to buy up the remaining 60% to shut out potential owner Shahid Khan. Kroenke has decided to exercise his right of first refusal currently owned by Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez.
“We are pleased to announce that we have exercised our right to purchase the remaining interest in the St. Louis Rams football team under the terms of our partnership agreement,” Kroenke said in a statement Monday evening. “We look forward to working with the Rosenbloom family and the NFL to complete this transaction. We will respect the league and its processes in our efforts to complete this transaction.”
NFL cross ownership rules currently prevent owners from having a majority share of an NFL team in one city if they own a majority of another major-league team in another market. Kroenke currently owns both the Denver Nuggets of the NBA and the Colorado Avalanche of the NHL.
Khan entered into a sales agreement in February to purchase from Rosenbloom and Rodriguez. As part of Khan’s sales agreement with Rosenbloom and Rodriguez, Kroenke was given 60 days to declare his intentions with respect to the team. He could keep his 40%, sell his 40% or attempt to exercise his matching rights on Khan’s bid, which he did using the full 60 days before making his declaration known. Monday.
So for the near term at least, the proposed sale of the Rams remains in limbo.
Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony Might Not Play For Team USA Due To Marriage
I Would Miss Too
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo could have some areas of concern for Team USA for this summer after hearing he might be without another superstar due to marriage. As we previously posted that Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James and Miami Heats Dwyane Wades chances of playing this summer are in limbo it seems it could be that way Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony is set to get married to the very beautiful, and only reason why I would ever tune in on Direct Effect, Lala Vasquez on July 10. Asked if he’s wavering in the commitment he gave last fall to play,
Anthony said, “Yeah. I wasn’t expected to have the plans that I have.”
Regardless Anthony said he still wants to play in the 2012 Olympics but with James, Wade, Anthony, and possibly Chris Bosh undecided if they will play, it leaves Colangelo with having to make some decisions sooner than later so that possible replacements schedules do not happen to get filled as well.
The World Championships run from August 28-September 12 in Turkey.
A Crush From A Far
Former NBA Player Arrested For Assaulting Fiancee
Your Breaking Rudy J's Heart
Police arrested former Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets and 1994 Slam Dunk Contest winner Isaiah Rider after he assaulted his fiancee and refused to pay a cab driver for a fare. Rider was arrested after three incidents in five days.
Police say the first incident happened Sunday after Rider allegedly pulled his fiancee out of her vehicle and threw her to the ground during an argument. Rider then took a cab ride from Mesa to Phoenix and back to Mesa and when he arrived at his apartment complex he told the driver he needed to run inside to get his wallet to pay the $150 fare however he never returned.
Police then put J.R. under surveillance and was caught driving erratically from his house. When the officer tried to pull Rider over, he drove into a neighborhood, jumped out and tried to run away. The police on the scene found three children in the back of the Escalade.
In 2006 he was arrested in California on charges of kidnapping a female acquaintance and had an outstanding warrant for resisting arrest.
In 1997 he was convicted of marijuana possession and in 1994 he spent two days in jail for failing to complete community service after kicking a woman in the back at an autograph signing.
Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony Collapses & Play Goes On
No disrespect to Carmelo Anthony or saying he takes part in the practice of flopping but when NBA officials see night in night out of players flopping or relying on the art of drama classes to draw fouls then there’s unfortunate situations where it comes back to bite them.
Who’s to say that a situation similar to Hank Gathers was not taking place before our eyes, are you Dr. Sanjay Gupta?
Denver Nuggets Kenyon Martin Threatens To Boycott Playoffs Cause Of Joke
Is That Chris Anderson Lips?
Denver Nuggets Kenyon Martin has a sort fuse when it comes to practical jokes being played on the NBA superstar.
During the Denver’s victory on Thursday former Nuggets ball boy, Laquan Johnson who is now J.R. Smith driver, got into the club’s locker room, took Martin’s car keys and filled the player’s Range Rover with buttered popcorn. Angered, he went back to the locker room spewing profanities and threats at teammates and other members of the organization.
“That ain’t no fucking joke,” Martin said. “I’m going to find out who did it … put my fucking hands on one of y’all. I’m going to put my hands on whoever did it. You better believe that. It’s fucking personal. You better believe it.”
Martin who has missed 15 games with a torn patella tendon in his left knee, even went as far as to threaten to boycott the playoffs if somebody didn’t step forward to claim the failed prank. Eventually Johnson came forward and Martin and the Nuggets are said to be okay.
Apparently Martin sense humor doesn’t match that of Sacramento Kings Spencer Hawes who had the same prank pulled on him by teammate Jason Thompson and his Escalade but had the whole event and reaction video taped for all of YouTube to see.
Overreact much? I can say that since my my bank account doesn’t see deposits of $15.3 million this year or $16.5 next year.
Chauncey Billups Works At Champs Sports
Excuse Me Charlie Murphy, Can You Help Me?
Back on March 19 we posted about Miami Heat Michael Beasley working for Champs Sports in Dade County but it seems as if he hasn’t been the only NBA player to lace up some kicks for you.
That’s because yesterday Denver Nuggets Chauncey Billups went to work at the Champs Sports in the Flatiron Crossing Mall in Denver. Billups interacted with fans, hosted prize raffles, rang up customers at the register and even help some old lady’s with put on some shoes.
Beasely is off the hook for rubbing the feet of Dade County residents since he has company now with Charlie Murphy.

Los Angeles Lakers Phil Jackson Expects To Be Back Next Season
One More Year?
Los Angeles Lakers Phil Jackson hopes to return next season as Lakers coach and does not anticipate that his return will be sidetracked by health issues or negotiations on a new lucrative contract he said.
Asked if he thinks he will be back with a new deal in 2010-11, Jackson said without hesitation: “Yeah.”
“The wear and tear of a season, I think, affects everybody, the travel and whatever else you have to do for an extended time,” he said at the Ford Center after a Lakers shootaround in preparation for the game against the Thunder later Friday. “But, all that being said, I’m as mobile as I’ve ever been in the last three years. That helps. I’m dealing with less arthritic elements that are painful things going on as you age. But there are still considerations as to the duration that I will coach, simply because I have to stay attuned to that.
“I look at something that happened like George Karl [the Nuggets coach who has been spending time away from the team while undergoing cancer treatment] and I just think it’s a shame. You can’t predict or project that as a possible situation, but he’s going to miss part of the season and it’s going to affect his team. I wouldn’t want to put a franchise in that position when there’s young healthy guys that can do the job.”
His spirits seem good and no doubt the lure of winning one or two more rings sure helps but who knows come July with the Zen Master.
Former Utah Jazz Player Arrested With Weed Between His Buttocks
"spread your cheeks and give me two big coughs"
Police in Salt Lake County arrested former Utah Jazz center Robert Whaley and found marijuana between his buttocks according to a jail document.
Whaley, 27, had warrants for his arrest for absconding from a probation in Michigan. A police document filed with the Salt Lake County jail says gang detectives stopped a car about 4:30 a.m. Thursday. Whaley was a passenger and was not wearing a seat belt, the document says.
Gang detectives were monitoring the apartment complexes due to recent crime problems when detectives spotted an occupied car sitting in a parking lot with no lights on and decided to investigate. Whaley identified himself to police as Kareem Johnson but the detectives recognized him as being a former Jazz player. Police discovered Whaley had a warrant for his arrest.
But Whaley made it all the way to the jail and thats where he was found to be in possession of several baggies of marijuana that he was holding between his buttocks. The amount was not released. Whaley remained in the Salt Lake County jail until his extrodiation to Michigan and is being held on $100,000 bail. The state of Michigan lists Whaley has having a 2008 conviction for maintaining a drug house. It says he has absconded from parole in that state.
In December 2005, Whaley and his then teammate Deron Williams had a run-in with the law. The pair were at Harry O’s nightclub in Park City and had a confrontation with Denver Nuggets fans.Some garbage cans were thrown and somehow Whaley slit his hand. But again in 2005 Whaley used a fictitious name to Park City police and received misdemeanor citations for providing false information. Whaley also lied to the Jazz about how he received the cut.
Whaley gave his name as “Bobby Williams” while Williams gave “Torrey Ellis.”
The Jazz drafted Whaley in the second round of the 2005 draft. He appeared in 23 games for the team the following season. The Jazz traded Whaley to the Toronto Raptors in June 2006. The Raptors waived him before he played a game. Whaley returned to the Jazz for training camp a few months later but never played another regular season game in the NBA.
