    Alot of you are JEALOUS. Alot of folks are eatting crow, they said Garnett would never win a ring but now he has and all you have to say is he picks on lil guys.
    Saying "KG will never win a ring" and "KG will never lead a team to a le" are two separate things. Wake me when the latter is proven untrue.

    Universally loved my ass... you a fan of that makes you a punk too


    Spurs fans have seen that contempt grow for a decade.

    Him acting like a bad azz who puffs out his chest because he is the baddest MF on the court is certainly an act. Anytime anyone has ever stood up to him and challenged him on an NBA court, he finds a ref to hide behind.

    Besides KG talking trash about Duncan dead mom, he's also tried to pick fights with both Parker in Ginobili. Both times Parker and Ginobili stood up to him and when chest to chest, KG backpedaled to find a ref to hide behind.

    A lot of it had to be made up. If he were always that intense, how did he not implode in his final couple years in "Sota" when they were a lottery team? Eventually he had to simmer down and accept losing. , he even came down with a couple end of the year phantom injuries so he could get a head start on vacation.

    Apparently wasn't helping enough in his final three years in Sota when he couldn't lead his team to the playoffs.

    Foye's main problem is that he sucks.

    KG wasn't universally loved and revered. Exaggeration.

    All that said, I don't hate KG. In fact, if I got to pick one player to put next to Duncan on the Spurs, I'd probably pick KG because he's damn good at basketball and is one of the most intense players to ever play. I respect KG for playing hard and for his obvious love of the game. Plus he's been a very good ambassador for the NBA for a long while.

    But it wouldn't be fair to ignore how his fake tough guy image can rub fans of other teams the wrong way. That part of his image is hugely fabricated and has been proven time and again. What kind of fugazy 7-footer picks on Luke Ridnour and Jose Calderon? And now that he has a ring, instead of eliminating that fake part of his personality, it seems to have enhanced it . . .


    I used to like KG until I realized what type of character he has. But as a player, I think he is really good, although he isn't as good as he thinks he is.

    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.
    Uh, no. KG would be considered tough if every dude he ran smack on wasn't 6'0". He's a MAJOR poser, and Tim Duncan OWNS his ass.

    You know what I'd like to see? I'd love to see him start some with Ime Udoka. I'd ing PPV that . Udoka would use his ass like the round floor wipers that the ball boys use to clean the sweat drips off the floor after FTs. KG would have to retire in shame after that beat down.

    They should have suspended his sorry ass for pushing that ref during the Hawks series.Who knows maybe the Hawks could of pulled it off if Gay-G was out.

    Not many things have pissed me off as much as that. The suspension is supposed to be automatic, and the league ignored it because it was Garnett and the Celtics. And I don't think there is any way they get past Atlanta if Garnett was watching from home. Now he thinks he's bullet-proof.

    My vote for the player I'd like to see -slap Garnett is Dwight Howard.

    NBA most valuable player Kevin Garnett punched a former University of Minnesota player during a pickup game last week at Target Center, cutting the man's face and chipping his tooth.

    Garnett punched Rick Rickert, a second-round draft pick of the Timberwolves last season, according to several sources with knowledge of the event. Seven s ches were required to close the cut on Rickert's chin, said Susan Rickert, the player's mother, during a phone interview yesterday.

    Rickert, 21, scored several times with the 6-foot-11 Garnett guarding him. Several other players began to "tease" Garnett about being outplayed, according to a source. When Rickert scored again, Garnett struck him without warning.

    Garnett punched teammate Wally Szczerbiak in the head following an argument, in 2000.
    Asshole.

    It would have been just as good to see McDyess whoop his ass when they had that altercation a few years back. I remember Cagey running away like a little when he saw Dyess coming towards him.

    this is why i wasnt rooting for the Celtics over the Lakers in the finals. and i dislike the Lakers alot. i couldnt stand the Celtics roster last year. the only ones i respected were both of the Allens, Rondo, Powe, and Posey. everyone else had an ego problem. search up a video of BRIAN SCALABRINE on youtube talking smack after winning a ring he didn't work for. KG is the main reason why i cant stand the Celtics. As long as TD is around, KG will never be the best PF in the league.

    Are there 2? I don't keep track. I just looked at your registration date.

    but for the record, I hated KG way before he was on the Celtics.

    There has always been that TD vs KG rivalry, and so far TD has the upper hand.

    Even had Garnett been suspended for game 5 of that Atlanta series last spring, the Celtics would still have won that game in Boston.

    The difference is they would have won by 10 instead of 20 points.

    I think of the the Celtics the same way I think of the Cubs. I would consider myself a Cubs fan. I was born in Chicago and all my family is there. I maybe see them play 25 times a year. When the playoffs start or when the team is good, me and a lot of other Cub fans, with loose affiliation to Chicago, come out of the woodwork and increase our interest level in the team. I'm sure some self-righteous die hards would consider that to be bandwagonry, but frankly it isn't.

    Boston's the same way. There are a lot of people who have a loose affiliation and rooting interest in the Celtics. Maybe not enough to support the team with all their energy when the team is bad, but they are people who like and always have liked The Celtics. It only makes sense that they would increase their level of interest in the team, given the team's recent success.

    So, IMO, Boston does not have a bandwagon fanbase. At least not like Golden State and Atlanta.

    Actually, I think that's the epitome of bandwagoning.

    It's still hilarious to hear Laker fans talk about bandwagoning like they don't do it, when the simple fact is that any Laker fan who wasn't a Lakers fan before 1984 is absolutely a bandwagoner, and there's no way to deny it.

    It depends on how old you are. I didn't start following sports until I was 9 years old. That was 1987.

    True to an extent, because I didn't follow basketball until 1991 or so. Our family had moved to Dallas then so it made sense to root for the Mavs.

    But every Lakers fan who started rooting for the Lakers from 1984 or later had the choice of the Lakers or the Clippers. If they picked the Lakers, they obviously picked the more popular and successful team. Which means they jumped on the bandwagon.

    In other words, you're a resident of Southern California, correct? As long as you stuck with them in the Cedric Ceballos/Nick Van Exel/Del Harris and Kobe/Smush Parker partial-birth abortion eras, you're a true fan...unlike 21 Deuces, who only roots for them when they're good.

    You're only a true fan if you join a team when they suck, kinda like mono and the Pats last season.

    Don't shoot the messenger. You're a bandwagoner, and even worse, a mindless one who only roots for teams because his daddy tells him to.
