Sixers Fans chanted "Honey Nut Cheerios" during Carmelo's freethrows.

Last Thursday, in the New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics rematch at the TD Garden, any Cheerios-related items brought in by the fans were confiscated by security. For those of you, who are out of the loop on the whole Cheerios fiasco between Kevin Garnett and Melo, I will summarize it for you in a sentence. Basically, a few weeks ago, during the first Celtics vs, Knicks game of the season, Kevin Garnett reportedly said Melo's wife, Lala tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios and Melo didn't take it too well. Since then, the internet has kept relevant, making a non issue into a thing that will forever haunt Carmelo for the rest of his NBA career. Taking advantage of this known fact, Philadelphia 76ers fans decided to chant the popular General Mills cereal on Saturday in an attempt to get the Knick to miss his free throws. It didn't work, but Melo did get a little chuckle from it.

Keep it classy Philly fans, you are not making any friends in this league by chanting a possible misquote reported on Twitter or cheering for injuries to other players.

The Boston TD Garden confiscated Cheerios boxes and signs in the Knicks vs. Celtics rematch.

Eighteen days ago, the Boston Celtics defeated the New York Knicks at the Madison Square Garden 102-96 and created the one of the greatest, possibly fictional controversy in NBA history. The focus was not on the actual game itself, but rather on what was said during it. According to unknown sources, it was reported that notorious trash talker, Kevin Garnett said to the face of Carmelo Anthony that Lala (Melo's wife) tasted like honey nut cheerios. Whether this actually happened or not, nobody knows except for the two, however something was said by KG that did cause Melo to not only go into the Boston locker room post game to confront Garnett and also made him wait outside of the Celtics team bus to "talk." Nothing really happened, Carmelo did get suspended for a game and as part of the process, the internet exploded with terrible cereal jokes.

When something gets on the internet, it stays forever. So of course when the Knicks visited the TD Garden yesterday to play the Celtics, the fans of the green decided to get creative and make Cheerios signs in an attempt to throw off Melo. Unfortunately their hard work would go to waste, as the security confiscated any Cheerios-related displays to ruin the fun.

They didn't stop this bro though, he apparently was able to sneak it in.
