Carmelo Anthony vs Kevin Garnett
If you want trash talk, drama, and Hall-of-Fame basketball players facing off in the ring, then this rivalry would be a must-watch. KG’s infamous taunting of Carmelo one night in The Garden is a legendary tale in the NBA world, and getting to play this fight out would be pure comedy. We’ve learned that the rumored “Honey Nut Cheerios” taunt wasn’t actually real, but in the WWE, it definitely could be. There was also the confrontation at the team bus after the game, which is a classic WWE plot device, with many iconic wrestling moments going down in parking garages.
But just imagine the actual fight—the Knicks legend already in the ring, staring at the entrance, as The Big Ticket comes out to his hype song, with that huge grin on his face, just stuffing Honey Nut Cheerios in his mouth. The energy in the arena would be electric. And if you pull off the upset while playing as Melo, he’d have to add insult to injury and hit the crowd with KG’s own “Anything is Possibleeee” scream.
