On Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony and cereal-based trash talk

The intense beef between Carmelo Anthony and Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett that dated to a purported on-court trash-talking incident in a 2013 game sparked a decade-long feud between the two stars.

Tensions rose during a regular-season game, with both players engaging in intense on-court verbal assault. After the game, Anthony attempted to confront KG, which resulted in a media fiesta of coverage of the rumored insult driving the animosity. The story was Garnett had insulted Anthony’s wife, La La, by saying she tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios.
