Matt Barnes has never been shy about his feelings on his ex-wife Gloria Govan dating his former teammate, Derek Fisher.
Between domestic incidents and public verbal bashing, the new Kings small forward has a lot of things to say when it comes to the relationship between two people who were once close to him in different ways.
When discussing Fisher, Barnes said they no longer have any sort of relationship, while he maintains a courteous relationship with his ex-wife due to their children.
"Man to man, there is no relationship. He won't even look at me," Barnes told Real 92.3 radio in Los Angeles. "He and I don't have to get along. Gloria and I have to respect one another. We are parents."
Fisher was most recently the head coach of the Knicks, but he was fired midway through last season. The former NBA star also recently said he wanted to make a comeback to the league as a player, but it remains to be seen if any teams will take a chance on him.
Barnes admitted he's never shy about discussing the situation.
"You know me..I'll pretty much will say anything," he said.
Barnes and Fisher already got into a fight back in October at Govan's house. After hearing that his former teammate was attending a party hosted by his ex-wife and was romantically involved with her, an incensed Barnes drove over to Govan's house and got into a physical altercation with him.
Though Govan and Fisher were first keeping their relationship private, they came out in the public with it back in March.
Barnes, who recently posted a meme knocking Fisher after the D'Angelo Russell-Nick Young incident involving "Swaggy P's" fiancée Iggy Azalea, was very open about wanting to fight Fisher again in the past, but it seems he may be getting past it.
"I know I got to keep my mouth shut because then he'll run and tell," Barnes said about Fisher in January during the lead up to a Grizzlies-Knicks game via The New York Daily News prior to Fisher's firing. "So we're focused on playing that team [the Knicks]. And when I'm retired, him and I will cross paths again."
Barnes also recently commented on a UFC video game simulation fight that saw him take out Fisher in the Octagon.
"My kids showed me that," Barnes told TMZ Sports. "That's what would really happen if it came down to it. I'll do it to him anywhere, boss."
It's clear that Barnes won't be getting over this Govan-Fisher courtship anytime soon.
