IT’S ABOUT TO BE A GIRLFIGHT!
In the wake of the NBA’s decision to suspend Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, and Brandon Ingram for fighting during the Lakers match-up against the Houston Rockets in L.A. over the weekend, the New York Post reports that an investigation is underway to determine the validity of accounts that tell of an altercation that simultaneously broke out between Rondo’s girlfriend and Paul’s wife. Chris Paul told teammates and coaches in the locker room afterward that Rondo’s girlfriend had sparked a verbal confrontation with his wife in the stands, according to sources.”
Eyewitnesses in question confirms that the woman “shoved” Jada Paul — before security jumped in to quell the chance of any further violence.
Jada Paul was seated beside LeBron James’ wife, Savannah, when the alleged commotion broke out. Neither the Paul family nor the James family have spoken out to confirm, or deny, the reports. At the moment, LeBron — whose friendship with Chris Paul goes back to their days as amateurs in the AAU — is actually facing a bit of criticism for his reluctance to speak out on the ordeal.
Among those who’ve been most vocal in condemning the brawl has been Carmelo Anthony, who claims to have seen Rondo spit at Paul with his own two eyes. However, with LeBron having personal relationships on both sides — particularly with Chris Paul being the godfather to one of James’ sons — he has elected to remain neutral. This comes in spite of his allegiance to Rondo and to Ingram as his current teammates.
