Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett's beef tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios... or maybe not?

- I’ll keep it one hundred with you and admit that Carmelo Anthony’s hatred toward Kevin Garnett was intense but brief. The crux of their feud boils down to a single blowup in January 2013. But the aftermath of that single incident allowed fans and the media to keep their beef alive for nearly a decade while ruining Honey Nut Cheerios for the two in the process.

Kevin Garnett casually admitting he's a Frosted Flakes man is hysterical to me
The man has range😂
They’re greeeaattt
if it ain’t snowing he ain’t going
Me too especially cuz that’s my favorite cereal too😂
Man of the culture
Literally the day after melo retires😂
Tbh we’re going to need his “Untitled” video soon
We’re also gonna need harden and Chris Paul’s untitled video soon

I remember KG saying in a vid that Tim Duncan would compliment him whenever KG would trash talk. Truly the only guy that KG couldn't get into the head of.
KG wished Duncan “happy Mother’s Day” when Duncan’s mom died a few years earlier. If that didn’t get into his head, nothing would
People knew KG was a fake tough guy
@@benjaminwaters275 That's only a rumor, never been confirmed. I really hope it isn't true because that'd be really over the line for KG if he did that. Even Gary Payton apologized to Lamar Odom for trash talking his mom when he realized she passed away recently
It’s all words in the end. Idk why trash talking gets to some people, especially if they don’t know the person. If I was playing some random in a pickup game and they start talking smack about my mom or wife, they don’t even know them, it’s more laughable than offensive
@@trickyBasterd Yh...Kenyon Martin called him out to his face! He disgusted me for his alleged comments to Charlie V, Melo and mother's day to TD.
Congrats to Carmelo on a great career
I just hope he doesn't downplay not winning a title like Charles Barkley does.
He’s bottom 25 all time in win shares lmao
Mid career
@@Dichotomic_Kingyou mfers are pathetic 😂
@@Dichotomic_King
"Win shares?" Lmao
“I’m a Frosted Flakes man” me too KG, me too😂😂
The "Honey Nut Cheerios" Thing Gets Me Everytime😂😂😂
I can't stop laughing at it. It's always gonna be funny.
You guys left out the best part! When Jordan Crawford chirped Melo from the bench about it in the 2013 playoffs (“My boy f’d your wife”) nearly starting a fight, and Lala clapping back at Crawford “You’re on the bench for a reason.”
Wow! I never heard that.
AYOOOO I RECALL THATTTT. He also missed the video that Melo and KG did in an ASG saying how cool they were.
Def remember that only remember because DJ White was the peacemaker in all of that lol
KG wishing Duncan a happy mother’s day while she’s dead is so brutal…
Thats why I hate him, fake tough guy
It's quite disgusting, yikes.
again that was fake
@@yndihaldathat did not happen tho. Just a rumor
@@kingdinodragonite3470 Good to know, thanks.
Gonna miss Melo. All the players that made me love basketball as a kid are all almost gone. Will never forget that era 🙏
That means you've been missing him for some years now.
@JetSetTech I'm his biggest fan but that's facts. He stayed too long (I still love watching him play) and made people forget how good he was. Same thing is happening with Westbrook imo.
@@Hawkeyes319 So good he never won anything. So good that he never made the Finals, made 1 conference final, and missed the playoffs a bunch. So good that he played no defense whatsoever. So good that when he had opporunities to win he chose $ instead. So good that no teams wanted him in 2018 because of his attitude. I'll never understand why some fans believe this man was a great player.
@@roboninja3194tell me you didn’t watch prime Carmelo play without telling me
@RoboNinja Well, last time I checked teams won playoff games and not one player. When he was in his prime, name one team he played on that had a chance to make the finals. He could be a bad help defender, but he was a pretty decent one on one defender. Do you hold all stars to that same standard? Many of them aren't great defenders. People like you didn't watch Melo, you heard the narratives and just ran with him.
“I’ve only eaten Honey Bunches of Oats, ever since that beef!”
- Melo 😂
Hahaha
I'm convinced that big box cereal was behind this. I bet Honey Nut Cheerios sales soared after this.
I'm sure it did.
You guys should do an Untitled episode on Dan Fouts. So many weird and disappointing playoff losses, an epic collapse at the end of his career, and a ton of star teammates to talk about.
Wasting talented QBs careers is a proud Chargers tradition. They did it to Fouts, Rivers, and it's happening to Herbert as we speak.
Chargers are cursed with being habitual trash
Eli did the right thing refusing to go to the chargers
@Kaminsod Eli Manning saw the light and said, "Not me."
@@Manny-nm8dh his Dad already got the "charger" treatment in N.O. .....HE was like "Peyton can do it anywhere.....Eli...you are no Peyton....you can go to the NFC be mid and succeed....f you TB12, F YOU"
That video of melo waiting for kg outside by the team bus had Twitter going crazy, the memes and jokes lasted weeks
Lmaooo facts
Kevin Garnett is the player I wish the Celtics had the most right now, Prime KG would chew out his teammates if they ever gave up like the Celtics did in the ECF this year
Yeah exactly what they need, he would fit so perfect in horford or williams place.
Prime KG would be the best player on that team
This is late, but evening up the series 3-3 after falling behind 3-0 is the opposite of giving up.
@@Ofallthings089True, but game 7 also happened too.
The day SB drops a Kobe-Shaq video, the world will end.
I doubt it… Kobe and Shaq has been talked about millions of times.
2 partner lol
They did an episode of Rewinder about the Christmas game in 2004
Beef was exaggerated by the media. World will end with MJ-Pippen beef video.
@@bumblebity2902 can't wait for that one
The media tends to be a common enemy in these things
>Carmelo retires
>People start to congratulate the ups of his career.
>Everyone's happy, even KG.
*First base decides to make video about the worst thing that's happened to Carmelo*
All I needed to see was the "Honey Nut Cheerios" in the thumbnail.
You guys and gals produce great content..Secret Base is definitely top 3 channels I follow 💨💨
I believe that it could be a playlist of nothing but KG beef
Melo and KG two of my favs to ever do it🔥🔥 loved watching these guys compete
I just cant believe KG didn't say that. Thats such a KG thing to say to someone
When I was younger I never understood the Honey Nut Cheerios comment. Now I know why Carmelo got soo mad lol
I am old enough to understand but I can’t get it, I speak Spanish so maybe me being from another part of the world is reason I can’t understand the joke 😢 I wanna know what’s so funny about a cereal 😂😂
KG was wildin with the cancer patient joke to charlie villanueva lol
The comment to Duncan is arguably worse lol.
@@belharirydid not happen tho
@@kingdinodragonite3470 it did fam
@@finleyjeanbatiste5197 send me proof where he said Happy Mother's day to him.
this makes me think of Carmelo pulling up on the team bus after a game and the only one to show up was Rondo 😂😂
Says a lot don’t it?
@@jrob4795 Ofc you would know. Lil punk.
@@jrob4795 What does it say? That the Celtics got in his head and weren't trying to get suspended for fighting potentially? You're slow, bro. Lol.
It says that kg didn't want any smoke with Carmelo, I'm a life long Celtics fan but melo def punked kg and melo def had every right to confront kg snd and kg wasnt so tough when melo wad waiting on him
I gotta say I really respect the way Carmelo handled this. He made it clear he had a problem then immediately confronted kg and settled it then and there.
"I would never say that, I am a frosted flakes guy" 💀
Legendary video and I’m not even through the first ad. Fastest click of all time
They can say what they want but Carmelo waiting outside the bus for Garnett, the fact that he was so mad and that being so random of a thing to say makes me think that's exactly what happened. They just tryin to play it off now. Notice they never tell you what was said and Carmelo joked about being "hungry for Cherrios". All the elements of this makes this one of the funniest sports beefs of all time. I was dyin laughing the entire video. Carmelo standing outside the bus screaming at Garnett "my girl don't taste like Cherrios bruh", while Garnett sneaks out the back is hilarious. Video of the day.
Kevin Garnett: Habitual Line Stepper
That crack against Duncan's mom is unforgivable.
That just a rumor it never happened even Duncan said it was not true
I love that the ad that played before this video is from my local grocery store, and it’s letting me know that Honey Nut Cheerios are currently on sale.
the old school nba score tickers were dope 🔥 hella nostalgic
And it's dope that Kevin Garnett grew out of this feud as well as the one with joakim Noah congratulations to Carmelo Anthony on the great career in great video as always secret base
Now that Melo is retired, now they can continue their beef in the squared circle of interviews.
"The man was rocking a scarf and STILL wanted to scrap" 😂😂
You guys posted this at the perfect time 😂
Day 12 : Can you pls do The 2005 CL final deserves a deep rewind and you should also do one on Troy Deeney's last minute goal against Leicester in the semi-finals of the Championship Play-offs in 2013
The algorithm was algorithming lol. Good job Secret Base. And great Career Melo!
Perfect timing with this video
Lmfao I got an ad with lala as soon as he said it the honey nut cheerios 💀😂😂😂 6:32
Congrats Carmelo on a great career. One of the most under appreciated players in the leagues history. He got an entire generation of kids into the NBA with his play style.
Is he really that "underappreciated"? He will be a first ballot Hall of Famer for sure, even if it might be due to his college and Team US success. He is celebrated as a 3 time Gold Medalist and broke quite a few FIBA records. And he got a lot of respect for adapting and becoming a role player in his finale years, which many critic did not see coming.
Some people will claim, that he somewhat wasted his prime, but those people also have a point. But even those critics will put him into the Hall of Fame...
Also got me to go to Safeway to check out what Lala tasted like
@@PassivesAbseits this, exactly this point, he was not underappreciated at all, but kinda overappreciated
@@PassivesAbseits yes he is underappreciated. watch any discussion about melo, and you'll very soon see it flooded with claims about bad defense, being a locker room cancer, a ballhog who doesnt pass and unwillingness to adapt - and while all those were true to some degree during the first half of his career, melo changed drastically - but nobody wants to appreciate that.
he played decent defense and a very patient supporting vet role on portland and the lakers, averaged 14ppg on good percentages and adapted much more to the 3 point line.
but whenever people talk about melo, they want to ride the "great scorer but not a winning player" narrative, and that sucks.
Dumb comment
What's the background song @ 9:20 name?
Beef history: we’re running out of beef, time to buy chicken.
Nice! This sounds so much better!
2 of my fav players
We need a Jimmy vs Timberwolves
Or a Kobe vs Shaq one
No joke, at the 6:30 mark when it’s revealed what KG said my CZcams gave me a skip the dishes ad😂😂
Anyone know what Song / Composer is playing in the background?
I was at this game at MSG. January 2013.
Yes
The timing of this video being made is crazy, LOL
Congrats to Melo on a great career. Definitely one of the greatest scorers in NBA history and a surefire first ballot Hall of Famer for sure. It's really a shame that he couldn't win a championship.
As for his beef with KG, Melo's then-wife Lala would confirm in her own book that there is no truth that KG called her "honey nut cheerios" and that KG and Melo are cool now.
Surefire first ballot hall of famer? For being an inefficient volume scorer who was an average shooter, poor passer, poor rebounder and horrid defender? His game aged like cheese and his absolute lack of playoff success as a supposed "superstar" and mediocre advanced stats shouldn't make him a hall of famer but unfortunately some people worship the iso 1 vs 5 mentality of some of these shot chuckers.
@@ren2871His NBA career combined with an NCAA championship puts him in in my opinion.
y'all musta been hyped that Melo retired right as you were finishing this video 😂😂
KG needs his own Beef playlist
My reaction to this beef is literally the same as the one towards Dirk Nowitzki and D-Wade's Beef. Like: "They have BEEF?!"
“The man was rocking a scarf and still wanted to scrap.” 😂😂 4:36
First off @ caption of video ‘Pauseeee!!”
Melos repeated reaction to the honey nut cheerios thing just tells me it didn't happen. It's been long enough that both of them would be cool admitting it if it did happen
how long has SB been sitting on this video lol
I’m a simple man, I see Secret Base uploaded, I stop watching my online class and I watch the video. Best sports channel on CZcams bar none
La La actually tastes like the entire Western Conference.
What really immortalized this beef is Wayne’s 3rd verse on his 2015 song “My Name Is”
Hey its the guy from uncut gems
This video was perfectly timed
Love that Tony Brothers cameo.
I wish we could branch out to other sports like F1 or do some long overdo re-entries into baseball or hockey with this series
Love the timing of this video. Mello retires and his first team makes the NBA finals for the first time ever then this video drops.
I need a video about the rockets clippers staples center scuffle next then
This was my first Knicks game I saw in the garden
you also didnt show that they started together on the ALl Star game that same season and Craig Segar interviewed them together and it was a funny moment
Can you do some more Timberwolves and Anaheim Ducks beef? I also like the Giants and Blue Jays.
I been waiting for this one lmfao
Damn you guys had this ready.
You guys should've done this waaaaaaaay earlier, exciting !!!
Lmao finding out BSO started that rumor is insane, used to follow them on twitter and it absolutely sounds like a wild ass headline they'd come up with
“The man was rocking a scarf and still wanted to scrap” 😂😂 if you’ve ever been in a fight you know that this is a NO NO lmao
Bittersweet the Nuggets reach the Finals for the first time in history on the day Carmelo announces his retirement. Shocked he never got to the Finals, even with Iverson on his team
A day after melo retirement nice 😊
Congrats to Carmelo on your retirement well deserved
The timing on this is insane
What did the doc sent?
So in other words the media does what the media does best, lie lol. The Honey Nut Cheerios saga walked so Mark Cuban begging thru texts for DeAndre Jordan's address saga could run. Also Raisin Bran is goated as is Honey Bunches of Oats.
Perfect timing
This was 10 years ago ?! I’m old AF 😕
I sure would’ve liked to find out what LaLa tasted like back then 😂
Great vid! We need more baseball beefs. Thinkin Amir Garret vs. Javy Baez?
KG: I never said anything about anyones family.
Also KG: TIM DUNCAN! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
I don’t believe a word of what Melo’s wife said KG definitely said she tasted like cheerios😂😂😂
This is the greatest title for a video in CZcams history.
Said he waited for KG by their team bus 🤣🤣🤣
Never change KG
The title lol
First Also Love be series
Man I was 11 watching melo play for the Knicks. Have had some very rough years, but with him atleast we had hope got a lot of good memories of that walking bucket. Hope he gets the respect he deserves now that he’s retired.
Plz do Sherman vs revis island 🏝️
I thought this was beef history, not cereal history!
Y'all need to do Luis Suarez VS Ghana next
This title is crazy
Big pause on the title 😭
I'm with KG, frosted flakes are 🔥
