"Even Orville Redenbacher never popped off this much.
In the Nuggets' locker room on April Fool's Day, Kenyon Martin screamed loudly about a prank played on him by J.R. Smith's personal driver, Laquan Johnson, who filled Martin's car, which has a cream-colored inside, with popcorn.
Asked Saturday if he accepted Johnson's apology, Martin said: "Not a chance. Not a chance."
After the win over Portland, Martin was in the locker room screaming: "That ain't no . . . joke. I'm going to find out who did it. . . . How 'bout if I don't play in the playoffs until somebody tells me who did it."
On Friday, when ESPN.com reported the story, Smith tweeted the link and wrote: "check it out! LMAO" - the latter acronym a reference for someone laughing hysterically.
At Saturday's game, a source said Martin had allegedly played a less-serious April Fool's joke on Smith earlier in the day."
