Hot Clicks: La La Vazquez, Mark Cuban, Kenyon Martin dustups
Oh La La
La La Vazquez :: Marlena Bielinska/SI |
Things are getting very ugly in the NBA, and I'm not talking about the Lakers' 40-point win over the Rockets last night, or Dwight HowardrippingStan Van Gundy. Or the fact that Glen "Big Baby" Davis buckled under unfair pressure and apologized for doing nothing wrong just to appease a delusional fan. I'm talking about much uglier and more serious incidents. Mark Cuban taunted Kenyon Martin's mother. Martin responded by using a homophobic slur. And now video has emerged of La La Vazquez, Carmelo Anthony's fiancee and a one-time SI Swimsuit model, getting into a confrontation that led to her ejection from Monday night's Nuggets-Mavs game. Vazquez claims fans were taunting her with racial insults, while the Dallas fans insist Vazquez started the whole thing.

This clip has it all. Very impressive soccer goal, over-the-top call by the announcer and teammates pretty much assaulting the guy who scored. (Thanks to Markus Nachtigall, of Porto Alegre, Brazil, for the link.)
