Deron Williams rips A.J. Price for saying, “I’m home. I’m home.”

Found October 16, 2012 on NYC Sports Nation:
PLAYERS: Deron Williams
TEAMS: Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets point guard Deron Williams ripped Washington Wizards point guard A.J. Price after the two got into a heated shoving match in the final minute of Brooklyn’s 98-88 preseason victory on Monday night at the Barclays Center.
Both players received a technical after coming together and exchanging some not so kind words.
Williams said Price, who was raised and played his high school basketball on Long Island, kept saying, “I’m home. I’m home.”
“I hate when people just start talking for no reason,” Williams said. “That’s pretty much what he did.
“Maybe he had some boys in the crowd he wanted to impress while he can with the little minutes he’s going to get this year.
“‘It’s my home now.’ I told him that.”
Price, 26, career averages of 6.0 points and 2.0 assists in 14.9 minutes during his three-year career and makes less than a million a season. While Williams makes a little over $17 million after signing his new deal this offseason.
I think Price should check the numbers before yapping away.
