The fragmenting New York Knicks have shown a lot more fight when battling each other, than they have when facing the opposition. Kenyon Martin and Metta World Peace reportedly had to be separated before they threw hands (MWP denied the incident on Twitter.) Per ESPN: “Kenyon Martin and Metta World Peace got into a ‘heated’ verbal argument during a Knicks workout prior to Sunday’s game against the Pelicans, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. The two veteran forwards did not come to blows, but the back and forth was described as “intense” by one source with knowledge of the dust-up. World Peace and Martin smoothed things over prior to the Knicks’ 103-99 loss to the Pelicans on Sunday night, sources with knowledge of the situation said. ‘There was no pushing or shoving, certainly no punches, but it was heated,’ a source said. ‘They were jawing at each other and you’re talking about two guys who are pretty explosive, guys you wouldn’t want to mess with. It settled down, but nobody was too eager to jump in between them, let’s put it that way.’ These dust-ups, of course, are typical of the frustration that surfaces when teams are losing. The Knicks have lost nine straight games and are tied with Milwaukee for the worst record in the Eastern Conference.”
Don’t believe those stories you here. I would play with 10 Kenyon Martins and of there year. And he has two finals appearances #Knicks
