More With KG
By Patrick Cassidy

Kevin Garnett’s competitive nature is the stuff of legend - it’s something that’s brought up in almost every single KG story ever written. It’s definitely not an act. I’ve seen the competitive nature first-hand multiple times, from when he put his own sister “in the chamber” on the Target Center’s court after our photo shoot for his Dime cover story last season to this past summer in LA on the adidas “Brotherhood” commercial set when he was beasting high school kids in a pickup game.

When I interviewed him out in LA though, I was surprised when Kevin admitted to me that he goes at his friends differently than he does strangers and that, for a long time, he wasn’t cool at all with Tim Duncan …

Good video. That's how I viewed the relationship between KG and Tim. I think KG definitely is jealous of Tim, but also respects the hell out of him. And, for a long time it was his competitive nature that wouldn't allow him to be friends with him for a long time.

I like hearing it from the player. It's still easy to interpret what he says different ways but at least it's a solid start.

THey definately are cooler with eachother now. Like i said before i have seen those behind the scenes clips of the commercials they shot and they were cool with eachother. I also remember at the All star game some years back neither of them played in the 2nd half and they were next to eachother on the bench chatting for basically the whole 2nd half. They are not friends but a good healthy respect is there and i think they get along fine.

Well, I don't blame Garnett for being unruly around Timmy. Must be downright irritating playing against another big guy, only with with four rings to your none (correct me if I'm wrong: Garnett has yet to take a team past the first round?).

That said, I won't think about it anymore... not until we get past the Hornets and whoever comes up next. And besides, at the moment the Celtics seem to have their hands full themselves... finding that it's a lot tougher beating on a team in the postseason than it is in the regular season.

That is correct. He's been to the WCF before, but Sprewell and Cassell took the team there.
