Remember the whole Honey Nut Cheerios drama that came about during last year's January 7 matchup between the Knicks and Celtics?
Well, it was all made up.
La La Anthony, the wife of Knicks' superstar Carmelo Anthony, writes in her new book "The Playbook" that former Celtic Kevin Garnett never made a reference to the cereal during his trash talk with Anthony.
Anthony was so outraged by Garnett's comments during the game that he waited outside the Celtics' team bus afterwards to confront Garnett.
Anthony was suspended for the team's next game against the Indian Pacers.
La La writes, "I wasn't ever going to bring up the Honey Nut Cheerios incident again. But since I'm writing this book, I might as well set the record straight for good," La La writes in the book, according to the New York Post. The book was released Tuesday. "Kevin Garnett in fact had never said that I tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios. I tried to figure out how this big lie was turned into a media firestorm. I still can't answer that one ... Melo and Kevin are cool today. And now it's nothing but a faint memory."
