According to Can't Stop The Bleeding, Memphis Grizzlies' guard O.J. Mayo and teammate Tony Allen had a bit of an incident on the teams flight Monday night.Reports state that Mayo and Allen engaged in a card game that resulted in Mayo losing somewhere around $1,500 bucks. The report also states that Mayo refused to pay and was being extremely rude to Allen about the whole thing.
Now here's where it gets good. After sitting through Mayo's verbal abuse, TA excused himself and went to the pisser. When he returned Mayo was still being ass , so Allen punched O.J. in the grill.
“Tony warned (Mayo) to watch his mouth, and (Mayo) didn't do it and just kept going off on him,” a source told Yahoo! Sports.
That's one hell of a team building exercise if you ask me.
Allen has since apologized to the team for his behavior. Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace says the team believes that this incident is in the past and will not cause the Memphis any problems going forward.
These guys make millions of dollars and gamble all the time. I would suggest that if O.J. Mayo isn't man enough to pay his debts that he refrain from playing in the future. Black eyes and busted lips aren't a good look.
Reminds me when Jerry Stackhouse gave Christian Laettner an eye jammie when they were with the Pistons
ReplyDeleteIts not really the issue of the bill, this is a case of a younger generation not being accountable for the garbage that comes out of their mouth. A unfair generalization maybe, but this wouldnt have been an issue if OJ would have grew up around an area where you couldn't just get away with comin out the side of his mouth crazy. Some cats you cant do that to. OJ found out, that was Tony. And i'm not even gettin started about the money.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous...Great point. Different times breed different attitudes. When you get to talking crazy, you've got to expect somebody to stand up to nonsense.
