The Sacramento Kings opened up the post All-Star period in fine fashion, easily topping the San Antonio Spurs for their 19th straight win at Arco Arena on Tuesday night.

Despite the easy win, at least one player was hot under the collar in the locker room afterward.

His name?

Chris Webber.

Webber unleashed a verbal tirade on the local media over an article written in Tuesday's Sacramento Bee linking him romantically with supermodel Tyra Banks.

"You can repeat this to the editor of the (expletive) Bee or whatever the (expletive) you want to do," Webber exclaimed. "Since the first (expletive) day I came here I gave you all interviews, I've done every (expletive) thing you've wanted...and you are going to violate me like that? And I know everybody didn't do it but everybody's got to pay for it...stay out of my (expletive) business. I play basketball for you all. I don't live for you all."

Webber indicated he would not speak to the local media the remainder of the season, but left the door open by the end of his session. But his displeasure with the whole situation was made abundantly clear.
