Garnett: "I was afraid to play in LA"

[Koolaid_Man]

I still like KG...would pick him over Timmy in a heartbeat but he was being chicken shit at the time...Ohh well we got 2 titles + more upside to win more and he got his token 1...in a way though I'm glad he went to Boston because Kobe did something that MJ never did and that's beat 3 first ballot Hall of famers on the same team for the title...

Kevin Garnett was linked to the Lakers in the summer of 2007, but ultimately ended up being traded to the Celtics.
"I was pretty close to be honest," said Garnett. "What disturbed me about the whole Lakers situation was Kobe (Bryant) and Phil (Jackson) at the time. They were at each other pretty bad, and it was a new situation I didn't want to get into ... It was my choice, yeah. There was a lot going on and I didn't want to be a part of it."

"There really isn’t any diplomatic way to this: Tim Duncan’s playoff performances essentially run circles over Kobe Bryant’s."

"Not only has Tim Duncan been better than Kobe Bryant during his entire career, one can only wonder: were we wrong in selecting Kobe Bryant as the player of the decade? It would sure seem as such."

You can throw sugar on your pile of shit all you want but once spoon through it's still just a pile of shit. You and I both know that Kobe:5, Duncan:4 is just sugar.

[Spursfan092120]

Tom Heinsohn > Kobe Bryant
Jim Luscutoff > Kobe Bryant
Ron Harper = Kobe Bryant
Steve Kerr = Kobe Bryant

We can play this game all day.

Turned out for the best, yeah, even if the Lakers got 36'ed in May 2011.

Are you fucking dense? Did you even read the quote you posted? He said he didn't want to deal with the Kobe/Phil bullshit that was going on at the time. Where in that quote did Garnett say he was scared to play there?

[LnGrrrR]

What's crazy is that the 2004 Pistons beat a team with four First Ballot Hall of Famers.

[Killakobe81]

Yes KG is much better than Pau, but man if KG came to the Lakers and acted like the arrogant prick he wa son the Celtics ... do you know how much MORE the Lakers would be hated right now?

On second thought, that would of been awesome!!! Dont think the heat would be as hated as we would of been. too bad it didnt happen. PJ, kobe and KG on one team ...clssy fans like the Spurs would lose their minds ....

[Killakobe81]

The dagger. It's over.

LOL Warriors World, that world renowned, publication says it's so ... so it MUST be true.

LMAO acting like you cracked the da vinci code based off an article from a third rate website ...nice job, you really are "Da boss"!!!
