this is the same guy who got bowed in the face by peeler and stood there right???>
KG is a great player.. one of the best big's ive ever seen, but hes not a fighter, one of those guys who gets in your face and pushes you to act tough.
This is one of the reasons I have much respect for GARNETT'S GAME, and don't consider him a punk at all, because he's never about FIGHTING when on the court.
It's not that Garnett is backing down (because he obviously isn't scared) it's that KG is SMART!!!1
I mean how gullible do you have to be to not realize that KG is worth alot more to his team then anthony peeler.
KG loves to talk trash, and get the other players riled up but though he's fired up, he's under control and knows exactly what he's doing unlike other hothead punks like k-mart.
KG knows how stupid it would be to get in a fight and suspended multiple games, he's not into that, Trash Talking is part of the Mental Game involved in playing Basketball, and he's excellent at it.
The fact that guys have actually got so angry at KG that they want to hit him is a testament to his excellence in getting into the opponents head and making them lose focus, while he stays in total control.
Obviously he's not backing down cos he's a punk, because the whole scenario is planned in his head, push their buttons, make them lose focus while staying under control.
The other night was just a little lovetap, although he got suspended he was far from out of control, and i would argue stern was just being a hardliner with that one, he never liked the celtics, stern said on national tv on the worst damn sports show period that (in reference to the Celtics) "the Irish are overrated" (David Stern)...this was the year before they Won.
KG is tough, tough but SMART...on the court is not the time to
oh and lmao @ the guy who got upset, I Love Mainiacs relax man.
