Denver Nuggets power forward Kenyon Martin was the target of an April Fools' Day joke gone horribly wrong, at least for him anyways.
During a game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, former Nuggets ball boy Laquan Johnson took Martin's car keys from the team locker room, which he had access to.
With the keys in hand, Johnson opened Martin's Range Rover and filled the car with popcorn. To make matters worse, the popcorn was buttered and the interior of the car was white.
When Kenyon Martin found out what happened, he was not too happy about someone taking his keys without his permission and damaging his Range Rover. He also threatened the team with claims that he would not play again this season or in the playoffs until he found out who did it.
Laquan Johnson apologized to Kenyon Martin and offered to pay for the damage caused.
I like the effort that went into this prank. As a Lakers fan, this is pretty funny. I can only imagine how much popcorn the ball boy put in his car, and thinking how it was buttered makes it even better. Think about all the jokes that Martin will have to put up for the rest of the season.
I do wish that the prank was played on Chris "Birdman" Andersen. That guy is a real tool.
