If You’re Going To Kill Over Sporting Events, At Least Make It Short Track Skating Or Perhaps Even The 4X10 Kilometer Cross-Country Relay

The worst thing about this story is that no one — including the players! — actually gives a shit about the all-star game:

A Brooklyn teen stabbed his best friend to death — telling cops a “stupid argument” about the NBA All-Star Game triggered the bloody violence, authorities said yesterday.

Naquan Butts, 19, and Michael Bethune, 18, were watching the game with a couple of friends in Butts’ Crown Heights apartment Sunday night, when Butts and Bethune began arguing.

It started with each choosing a different team and claiming it was going to win, Butts told police.

Then, he said, the trash talk turned physical and they found themselves tussling right out the apartment door and into the 10th-floor hallway at about 11:45 p.m.

Butts drew a knife and stabbed his pal once in the chest, police said.

The mortally wounded Bethune stumbled into the elevator, but went nowhere before collapsing inside.

He was pronounced dead at Interfaith Hospital at 12:50 a.m. yesterday.
