Stop the breakfast cereal presses! Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, fresh off the team's home win yesterday, told the Post that he is not estranged from wife Lala Vazquez: "Hell no we’re not [living separately]."
Anthony's marital situation has become a topic of discussion after he apparently wanted to confront Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett over Garnett's trash-talking. See, Garnett allegedly said that Vazequez "tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios" and that prompted Anthony to wait for Garnett outside the Celtics' team bus—and required MSG security, NYPD cops and Knicks coach Mike Woodson to pull him away.
Anthony emphasized that he and his wife are fine, just working on their own projects (Vazquez is launching a makeup line), "Just letting you know me and my wife have no problems. We’re good... We have our time, we have our down time. She works, I work, but we have our time. We make it work. Communication is the key."
Speaking of communication: Knicks owner/meddler James Dolan reportedly had some employees spy on Anthony and those around him during last Friday night's game. The Star-Ledger reports, "Two audio technicians were stationed at two corners of the court — one a few feet just behind the Knicks bench, the other diagonally opposite — and they were holding those umbrella-shaped contraptions known as parabola microphones, which fed the audio into a DAT recorder on the truck on the loading dock. These guys had one directive from Dolan: Record every syllable Carmelo Anthony utters and absorbs while he’s on the court and on the bench, the Madison Square Garden CEO ordered them, and send the tape directly to me." Maybe he wants to send them to Isiah?
As for Celtics coach Doc Rivers' claim that KG never referenced breakfast cereal and Vazquez, Anthony told the Post, "I didn’t know Doc was out there on the court with us."
