That fueled speculation that the player in question was actually *gasp* him.
“I know who it was about,” Starks said, “but I’m not gonna say.”
On Monday, Fat Joe appeared on Highly Questionable, and before the show even aired, the HQ Twitter account sent out a tweet about how Le Batard and Jones had finally gotten someone to go on the record and talk about which Knicks player Biggie was referring to.
