Carmelo Anthony: “La La was right to be upset”
Once people know what buttons to push to upset someone, they will push them every time to get a reaction. That’s what happened to NY Knicks star Carmelo Anthony after the Knicks lost game 5 to the Boston Celtics at the Garden on Wednesday, May 1. Boston bench rider Jordan Crawford approached Anthony and talked smack about La La Anthony.
Crawford reportedly said to Anthony, “My man [Kevin Garnett] f***ed your wife!”
After the game, La La took to her Twitter page and tweeted: “Try again. You on the bench for a reason.”
She also posted a message on Instagram.com that read: “STRONG WOMEN only intimidate weak men.”

Jason Collins: “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay”
While the sports world buzzed about gay NFL players, a NBA player was planning to take his closet door off its hinges.
Jason Collins, center for the Boston Celtics, wrote a coming out letter exclusively for the May 6, 2013, issue of Sports Illustrated magazine.
I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport,” he writes. “But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, “I’m different.” If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand.”
Collins is obviously implying that there were other gay NBA players in the closet with him.

Two F-Bombs Dropped On Live TV, One Surprising Outcome
Scroll down for update…
When Janet Jackson’s nipple made its debut during the 2004 Super Bowl, the FCC slapped her with one of the biggest fines in television history.
But when Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz dropped an F-Bomb on live TV this past weekend, the FCC gave the star slugger a pass, saying, “He spoke from the heart.”
Ortiz wasn’t in a bar or in the team locker room when he uttered his ill-timed expletive. He dropped his F-bomb at crowded Fenway Park in Boston — and millions more on live TV heard him.
