MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Memphis guard Jason Williams took out his anger
over
how he was quoted in a newspaper column by grabbing a pen out of the
writer's hand Sunday night after the Grizzlies' playoff loss to the
Phoenix
Suns.
The Suns had just swept the Grizzlies out of the opening round by winning
123-115 in Game 4. Re****ters were in the Memphis locker room when Williams
twice took the pen out of the hand of Geoff Calkins, a columnist for The
Commercial Appeal.
Williams screamed in his ear as the re****ter tried talking to other
Grizzlies.
``You can talk to TNT, but don't answer this (re****ter's) questions,''
Williams said. ``I'm not letting him write anything. I didn't do anything.
I
just took his pen.''
Eventually, Williams had to be pulled away by Grizzlies guard Mike Miller.
But after getting in Calkins' face again, another Memphis official took
Williams out of the locker room.
The column that appeared in Sunday's newspaper was critical of the
Grizzlies' lackadaisical play and included a quote from Williams, ``I'm
happy. I go home and see my kids and my wife and I'm OK. All of this
(stuff)
is secondary to me.''
