KG's postgame celebration was a big F.U. to the T-Wolves...

their fans, and to those in Minnesota who still care for him. Totally classless move by KG.

Besides, the T-pups (what, they are real young) are the worst team in the league. Boston was lucky enough to pull out that win. I dont see a reason to celebrate here....

It would have been a huge story to talk about if the Wolves beat the Celtics. Too bad.

What KG did was corny. Check my Avatar for a proper Post-Game Win Celebration.

Um, KG came back in the game after barely walking off the court injured and pleading with Doc Rivers to let him back in. He later made the game winning steal against the team that he spent his whole career playing for prior to this year. It's understandable for him to be emotional in that situation especially given that he is one of the most emotional players in the league.

I disagree. I don't think anything KG did was out of line. He missed the middle part of the 4th with an abdominal injury, they'd been done pretty much the whole second half, they came back in the last minute to win, and a KG steal sealed it. Of course he was excited. He seemed like the only one of the big three to show up, Allen especially seemed to phone it in, despite hitting the game winning lay up.

It's that kind of heart and fire that I fell in love with, and I think the Wolves fans who are pissed at him now are holding him to a double standard.

As a wolves fan, I was really pissed off that he did it. Him calling MFers to the wolves as they walked to the locker room is the topping on the Cake.

He was poping his Jersey and screaming with intensity and stuff. People are crying over it because KG was using profanity and was screaming and celebrating after getting the game winning steal rather then walk away with his head held down in shame for the game being so close.

KG basically did his normal fugazy yell, and then he started popping his Jersey like he was a gangster. He stopped doing all of that once Scalabrine gave him a mean stare though.

Really? I think I turned away from the computer swearing when Ray got all the penetration, I didn't even realize.

That's true regardless of the final play. Al's post defense looked bad today, but I think some of that was because those two are so familiar with each others game.

i gotta give it up to KG, what a con artist. spitting in the face of the franchise and the fans that supported him (and paid him $200,000,000) through one mediocre season after another...."please KG please can you spit in our face even more" was the chant heard throughout target center. what a joke, classy and humble my ass.

how anyone can like this clown is beyond my intelligence

He got injured in the 2nd half with the team down for what seemed like all-game comes back in the 4th qtr and gets the Game-Winning Stop.

His intensity just got the best of him. Dont Hate.

I like KG but I thought his celebration was a little too much. He's a HOF guy and plays with so much passion and energy- something that more NBA players should do. But he went out of line here. I didnt expect him to be all mad after the buzzer because they barely one....maybe he could of shook hands with some of his old teammates....the young guys that looked up to him.
