Kevin Garnett: The Big Ticket Becomes The Big Bully 

Post#1 » by Swish14 » Sun Dec 28, 2008 1:34 am

Prior to joining the Boston Celtics, Kevin Garnett's passion and intensity made him one of the NBA's most likable players. During his twelve year tenure with the Minnesota Timberwolves, his competitive snarl and primal screams displayed the ferocity that Garnett displayed in each of his games, playing each and every one as if it were his last.

Minnesota was never a true contender as the team's management could never assemble much talent around their superstar forward. Garnett was the league's lovable loser and everyone wanted to see him win a ring because they felt as if he deserved it.

And he did just that when the Celtics acquired him last season. But with winning, came a side of Garnett that we had not previously seen.

An unlikable, obnoxious side that has been rearing it's ugly head for much of this season.

I think KG has lost it.. Last year all these things went under the radar.. This year the microscope is on the Celtics

Bad boys get away sometime.. but often get punished..

When the entire league is complaining.. Action will be taken and KG will be on the receiving end of one of his illegal screens

To OP - go spam elsewhere, in Gen board this nonsence was locked.
Who would win one-on-one in HORSE?

Bird: Nobody beats me in H-O-R-S-E. Besides, Magic cant shoot.

Magic: Larry, you'd have no chance against me one-on-one. I've got too many ways to beat you. Plus, as slow as I am, I'm still faster than you.

That says it all for me. Accepted when he was losing, despised when he's winning. Get over it.

Everybody hates the champ; it's about jealously and envy. This is a complete non-story. There will always be haters.
The leaks are real...the news is fake.

I'm just here for the memes.
