... comes World Wrestling Entertainment to lay the proverbial smackdown on the NBA.
By now, most of you probably are aware that the WWE and NBA had a scheduling conflict with Denver's Pepsi Center. The WWE was to host its Monday Night Raw show there on the same night as Game 4 of the Western Conference finals between the Lakers and Nuggets.
WWE chairman Vince McMahon, never one to hide his emotions and frequently one to sensationalize things (especially in front of a camera) went so far as to say Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke, "should be arrested for impersonating a good businessman, because he's not a good businessman."
With neither side seeming willing to back down, the Staples Center in L.A. stepped up and offered its building to the WWE on that night, and McMahon accepted.
I'm not a businessman, but if I were, I wouldn't cross McMahon. The man gets things done in the world of business. Not only that, but he's also been known to step in the ring and inflict copious amounts of pain on anyone who faces him.
Considering that, Kroenke got off easy.
