Marbury yelled at Francis that he was the "real All-Star" the last time they played. A lot of people heard it in the stands.
A few days ago, it was Kevin Garnett who blocked Steve Francis at the very end of his victory and trashtalked. Well at the All Star Game, they seemed like great friends... WHAT THE HECK did ESPN do. They really make stuff up.
according to today's Rockets Summary in the Chronicle: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/bk/bkn/1773112 Posey was there Rockets forward James Posey confirmed Tuesday that he was involved in an incident at the NBA Players Association party Saturday in Atlanta, but said he was not in a fight and that Pacers forward Ron Artest was not involved. Posey said little about the incident other than he considered it blown out of proportion. Several players association sources said Posey and close friend and Mavericks guard Nick Van Exel were detained by police after an argument with security at the party. According to sources, a ballroom at the Georgia World Congress Center became overcrowded after former President Bill Clinton arrived and many of the guests moved from a concert room to the room downstairs. Security was allowing only small numbers of guests to enter at a time and would not allow all of Posey's and Van Exel's group to enter together, starting the argument. Posey and Van Exel were taken from the area in handcuffs, but released. There were no arrests or charges. "The sad thing about it is once it's out there, it can't be retracted," Posey said. "How many people will really pay attention to the ... truth? People might look at it negatively. "Everything was going all right. The police felt like they needed to have the power. They started making moves, stuff like that. They felt they had to do it with a couple players, and that was it. It's embarrassing. It made it like we were starting trouble. Everybody right there knew we didn't do anything. We were very innocent. If you weren't there and you hear the story, you ... form your opinions about the players and the people involved." Said Pacers president Donnie Walsh in a statement: "Ron Artest was reported to have been involved in an altercation at a party in Atlanta during All-Star weekend. Ron spent the weekend at Disney World with his family enjoying the break. He was not in Atlanta during the time of the incident. These reports are completely false. "We, as an organization, are looking into how Ron's name became affiliated with this story and the media's representation of the events that transpired." Poor Poor Posey
