DETROIT – Detroit fans have not waited long before the Big3 delivers fireworks.
Less than a minute after the professional 3-in-3 basketball league of Ice Cube swept to Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Metta. World Peace, a member of the Killer 3s, was sent off after receiving two consecutive technical fouls and started kicking the stands.
"I told him that he was going to hit the upper deck at least," said Chauncey Billups, captain of Killer 3s. "It was a bit of a weak kick."
Detroit fans have showered the man formerly known as Ron Artest and many nicknames not suitable for publication.
Metta World Peace's complaints come after Alan Anderson returned to the basket, dirty, but no one was called.
"It was like a time bomb," said Billups. "The two missed calls at the start of the game. Ron l & # 39; lost, Stephen Jackson lost a bit, he resigned from us and knowing we did not have Ron, we really needed him and his desire was gone, so it was hard. "
Nate Robinson, the 5-9 lighting candle that received one of the loudest ovations of the night when it was announced, also were ejected in the Tri-State's two-point loss to the 3 Headed Monsters. But not before providing a reel highlight aid for the Detroit faithful.
