    MIAMI -- Former Miami Heat star Glen Rice was arrested Friday on a felony battery charge after police say he beat a man he found hiding in his estranged wife's closet.

    Rice

    Rice went to the home of estranged wife Christina Rice and punched Alberto Perez several times, police said. Perez fled the home and called police. He received a cut to his forehead that needed nine stitches, police said.

    The 6-foot-8 Rice surrendered to police and was released after posting $5,000 bond. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney.

    Rice was selected by the Heat in the first round of the 1989 draft out of Michigan, where he won an NCAA championship and is the school's all-time leading scorer.

    The 40-year-old Rice played six seasons with the Heat and 15 overall, averaging 18.3 points. Along with the Heat, he played with the Charlotte Hornets, the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Clippers, retiring after the 2003-04 season.

    Rice won an NBA championship with the 2000 Lakers and was the MVP of the 1997 All-Star Game.

    Alberto could have saved himself a beating by pulling out his Beretta.

    If you just take Rice's resume' at face value he is HOF material.




    And props for kicking that dude's ass.

    The key word is estranged meaning his wife left his ass. The dude did not deserve to get his ass whooped for that.

    I'm wondering if this Alberto was there with Christina's consent or some random dude hiding in her closet. I probably would've done the same thing Rice did either way.

    estranged doesn't mean divorced or seperated. why was he hiding in a closet in the first place?

    more importantly, she's just another golddigger? :D

    "Rice went to the home of estranged wife Christina Rice."

    She has her own home, how can they be more separated.

    So... which of the current Rockets have the highest probability of "pulling a Glen Rice" years down the road?
