Nick Kyrgios fires back at 'jerk' charity match comments as he brands former pro 'potato'
Nick Kyrgios has fired back at an Australian basketball legend after being branded a "jerk" for his antics during a charity match. The world No 77 called Steve Carfino a "potato" in response to the American's criticism of his sportsmanship in a celebrity basketball game held in Sydney over the weekend. Kyrgios took part in the Sydney Kings' charity match on Sunday to raise money for sick children, but was labelled a "jerk" by Carfino, a former basketball pro who was coaching the rival team.
