Bullshit Sick. Tim and AI can talk all they want...KG is the one that didn't show up in the Olympics. He has 0 room to talk.Quote:
Timmy didn't even garner a gold yet he's 95 % sure he's not coming back in '08. When Tim and AI win a gold and come back to play the next olympics then you can talk.
wtf does this have to do with tim and ai not winning a gold. We put together a crappy team. You keep beating a dead horse.Quote:

Look KG wanted to use the lame excuse that he was getting married this off season and thats why he wouldnt be able to play in the olympics.
If im not mistaken manu and hedo got married this offseason and obviously they were able to take time off of their busy schedule and play for their country.
STFU

Well, Timmy didn't even garner a gold, but his unwillingness to go apparently has very little to do with being unwilling to represent his country -- unlike KG who has now turned down that opportunity in each of the last two summers, when Timmy stepped up to represent the best of American basketball. Timmy lacks gold because he played on a team that was inferior to the 2000 team and against a pool of teams that was much better than those who qualified in 2000. KG's got little room to brag around Tim on that one -- and certainly no room to brag around Tim when it comes to NBA accomplishments.Quote:

Oh, and Tim's not a punk-ass bitch who punches teammates during pickup games.
It means more to Timmy and AI BECAUSE they havn't been there yet. Who else from the GOLD medal 2000 team was anxious to be there this year? You can bet KG and others would be there if 2000's team failed.
I like the way the incident was buried at the bottom of the article. It this happened on the Blazers it would be front-page news and would probably be leading off Sportscenter as well. We get no respect.
I had almost forgotten that Portland has an NBA team . . . . actually tlong, I'd think the respect thing will change a bit this season. Mostly good stuff in Portland these days.
Ah, the apologists have arrived.
Please stay on topic.
I'm trying to recall the last time TD coldcocked a teammate. Perhaps it is because he's never been scored on in practice. In any event, TD > KG you little KG apologist suck on my fatty.
I wish Duncan would have punched Rashopuss and Hedoqueer in the mouth.
That's just because TD is "soft" and plays without emotion.Quote:

That, or its because those championship rings of his would do some serious damage.
When this kid gets cut, we should sign him up, and start him every time vs. Minny this season.
KG would have a grand total of about 5 minutes of playing time after he got tossed every time.
Someone before made the comment about KG's approach with Rasho didn't work.
Looks to me like Tim's approach with meeker players like Rasho and Hedo didn't work either.
Bottom line is that you can talk the talk all you want how Tim is more patriotic because he went to the Olymics, how AI says he'll play in '08 if asked but Tim is ALREADY saying he won't play in '08. KG would be more inclined to be there if he hadn't won the gold in '00. You can say that Tim would have went to athens if he had won in '00 but then your speculating just as much than if you said 9/11 wouldn't have happaned under Gore, spurs in 99' would have won without a lockout, red sox would have won the world series if Pedro would have been yanked, etc...
Tim will never have the chance to make the choice that garnett did. Do I want to come into the season half beat, wore down to win a gold medal even though i've already have one?
Start a new topic if you aren't going to defend your punkass demigod here.
I agree with Sick that Duncan probably would have been less inclined to come to Athens if he had already won a Gold Medal.
But Garnett's still a punk. It's time for him to grow the **** up.
Well i know firsthand how heated games can get, i don't know anyone that hasn't played streetball that hasn't either been in or witnessed a fight because of that. But i've already said i'm dissapointed in him. What's the matter Chump, you mad at me because you've had all your "your mom" and troll comments ready to spew at me but i'm not taking that side?
Spurm, its easy to say its time for him to grow up but why? He's arguable one of the most popular players in the states and easily the most popular in the world. Players, refs and coaches respect him. Top tier players in the league want to play with him. Get my drift.
Not really, you're just pretty weak making excuses for him. Have your mom decide what you actually feel and run with it.Quote:

Players don't make an effort to continue playing with him for many seasons. He hasn't shown a lot of fortitude under pressure. And, less importantly but equally as annoying, he looks like a dope when he opens his mouth on the court. Have some dignity.Quote:

I think he's a very talented player, and he seems to be a decent person every once in a while. But then he goes off on one of his on-the-floor tirades or slugs a teammate and it makes me rethink my opinion of him.
Good comeback. That well-thought out blast was definately a whole level above "yeah well, you suck". Keep it up.
Hey, my take is consistent -- he's an idiot and a coward. You know he wouldn't punch Kevin Willis after getting a hard pick. Hell, Anthony Peeler punked this guy.
You say you're disappointed then make excuses for him.
Brilliant.
Mom must be proud that you can exist without a spine.
KG has no rings, so why is he a part of this forum?
Hey Sicko,
KG=punkass
'nough said
:next3
The only teamate that mattered that left was Steph and we all know how he's bounced around the league.
Chump, to sum it up i pretty much said that even though this is one side of the story and these things happaned i'm dissapointed in it regardless. Even if Rickert was running his mouth or prodding his finger in KG's face or whatever happaned, i'm dissapointed. You seem to expect me to either say i hate KG or show blind loyalty to him. You sound like a person who would get angry at a repub/dem for not blindly checking their party list or a laker fan who isn't on one end or the other on the "Kobe's Guilty!" spectrum.
I said kg had a better year then duncan last year
I still stand by that
however what kg did was unexcussable
it will be intersting if the wolves fine him or suspend him from nba games for such action
I would want spurs to suspend duncan had he done that to ANY rookie
And you sound like a jellyfish.Quote:

Squishy.

Rasho had a better year than he ever had in Minnesota if I remember right. So Shaq kicked his ass. BFD. I don't think there's anyone in the league you can't say that about when it comes to big men.
Hedo sucked, we gave it a shot and it didn't work out. Not Tim's fault. Some people just weren't made to play in pressure situations.
Your arguments are getting weaker by the day Wolves009, I wish Kori would have done us all a favor and just banned your ass. Nothing but a waste of bandwidth.
