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.
Milwaukee Bucks Joe Alexander Wants To Be Traded
Fraud
Could a new city and team be what the former 2008 No. 8 overall draft pick Joe Alexander needs to jump start his career or could the former West Virginia standout be a player that could never play on highest level in the first place? I’m going with the latter and I consider myself an Alexander fan.
The Milwaukee Bucks decided two weeks ago not to pick up his third year option on his rookie contract, and that has lead Alexander to say he wants to be traded. Alexander’s 2010-11 option for $2.76 million was not picked up by the Nov. 2 deadline, making him an unrestricted free agent next summer.
It has lead Alexander to say if they don’t want him than they should trade him. But in fairness to the Bucks decision Alexander is hardly healthy and when so he isn’t making himself into a force during practice that he should command playing time.
The Bucks and I had high hopes for the 6-foot-8 Alexander when they selected him and they did so ahead of players such , selecting him ahead of players such as Brook Lopez, Jason Thompson, Anthony Randolph, and JaVale McGee. Instead, Alexander became the highest first-round pick ever to have his rookie contract option declined after his first season.
Such high demands for a player that hasn’t given anything back.
