You’ve probably never heard the name Clarence Gaines Jr., and you’ve almost certainly never seen his face. That is not until he was captured on NBA TV laughing at one of Carmelo Anthony‘s workout videos.
Steve Mills, also pictured watching the video, declined to comment on the incident and Knicks PR announced he wouldn’t speak to the media at all during summer league. That’s normal behavior for an NBA team.
When Gaines was asked about the video, he responded angrily with an f-bomb to reporters.
The Knicks did full-on damage control.
Berman reports that Gaines wasn’t laughing at Melo.
