I can't believe the of contempt that has formed for KG over the past couple seasons. Make fun of his intensity and talking all you want, but just realize it ain't no act. That's who Kevin Garnett is; since he was 18 ing years old... on the court, in practice, on the team plane, in the locker room and probably at home too. You think all the stories about him barely sleeping for days, or screaming at dudes during practice while busting their asses as hard as he can, or going to the gym at 3 AM to shoot after a bad game, or cheerleading from the sidelines are just manufactured stories made-up to make KG look intense? that, those all examples of a dude doing things, above and beyond what 99% of other players do, that help his team win.
, just the other day I read some piece on Randy Foye where he was talking about how much of a step back his career has taken, directly because he no longer has KG's energy, encouragement or practice habits to feed off of. And I've read countless stories like that over the years.
So I really don't get all the hatred for a guy who is as genuinely hard-working, team-oriented and compe ive as they come. Especially since he was universally loved and revered for it until he got on a good team. y'all.
