I don't give a rats ass if KG is a jerk on or off the court.

If he brings us #17, he can act however he wants.

bein a KG fan for so long, it never ceases to amaze me what people come up. even after his success of dragging crap teams in minny to the playoffs year after year, then when he finally has a good team, he makes the finals, yet, people STILL try to find anything to make him look like lesser of a person.

KG is NOT anythingl ike that. if anything, he's unapproachable before games b/c he's SOO zoned it & focused on the task at hand. thats professional.

KG is a true pro on & off the court.

He just seems like an intense and a little bit weird guy in interviews...

Well, I remember reading that Pierce and Ray and maybe Rivers and other teammates say that they leave Garnett alone prior to the game and allow him space to do his routine. That's fine. The only thing I dislike is when I see Garnett come into a game and he removes his warm ups and he just throws them on the floor knowing that the person who collects the cloths will soon pick it up. Personally, I think it's more respectful to the person and for their job that you politely hand your gear over to them as oppose to disregarding them or your stuff as if you're in your bedroom. You can be rude to yourself but is comes off tactless when done to someone else. I know he doesn't have to make anyone's job easier. He's a multimillionaire athletic. But, still... I wouldn't behave like that. I guess all players are different. Because I'll see other players actually do as I suggested: They'll hand their stuff to the person before they enter the game.
