Kwame Brown: Cake Thrower?

According to a Hermosa Beach police report, Lakers big man Kwame Brown (he of the impossibly small hands, and annoying penchant for dropping passes with said hands) grabbed a man's birthday cake last week and hurled it at him before scurrying off in a white limo.

Following their tough 3-point win over the Orlando Magic last Friday, several Lakers headed to an LA bar to unwind. Nearby, Alexander Martinez was celebrating his 30th birthday at the Shore Restaurant. Just before 2 A.M., Kwame ran into the Martinez (cake in tow) on the street and allegedly grabbed the cake from his hands and threw it at him.

The pastry apparently cost $190 and measured 2 feet-by-2 feet. The Hermosa Beach city prosecutor has decided not to press charges.

OK, two thoughts:

1) Who gets a cake that big and expensive?

2) Anyone who does probably deserves to have it thrown at them.
