The closet—hider of skeletons, shoes and secret lovers. We’re sure that’s what Glen Rice’s estranged wife Christina Fernandez collectively had in hers when the former NBA All Star came in to her house and decided he didn’t want to be estranged anymore. Unfortunately for him, one Mr. Alberto Perez was in there hiding from the 6’8 Rice because he was busted doin’ it with his wife. And if movies have taught us anything, he was probably in his shoes and covering his privates with his hat when the doors came flying open. Well, until he got the crap beat out of him.

Former Miami Heat star Glen Rice was arrested Friday on a felony battery charge after police say he beat a man he found hiding in his estranged wife’s closet.

Rice went to the home of estranged wife Christina Rice and punched Alberto Perez several times, police said. Perez fled the home and called police. He received a cut to his forehead that needed nine stitches.

We wonder how aware Alberto was that the lady he was bonkin’ had a 6’8 balla as an estranged husband. We don’t make any ill judgments for the nookie, but that other bit of information is as important as divulging diseases. Why? Because both apparently can kill your ass.
