If I were AJ Price I would've clocked his weak ass for being such a *********.

Kobe would have given Price tips and Hansbrough some post moves :applause:

Don't kill me im kidding lol

Kobe at least is a real man, he wouldn't be friendly to the rookies or really cared about meeting them but he'd at least shake their hand and may say something to Tyler Hansbrough.

KG is just an ignorant punk.

"I remember one time Kevin Garnett was mushing him, and shoving him in the face; and Tim Duncan didn't do anything, he didn't react. He just kicked Kevin Garnett's ass, and won the damn championship. You know what I'm sayin'? That's gangsta. Everybody can show emotion, dunk on somebody, scream and be real cocky; but Tim Duncan is a ... he's a pimp."

-Ron Artest

As someone who played fairly high-level AAU basketball in high school, I really don't like how people try to excuse borderline sociopathic behavior by basketball players as necessary for greatness. I think Duncan proves you can be an all-time great without being a dick to everyone around you.

I always thought the guys who would try to talk trash and psych out the other team were suspect. Good players aren't going to be intimidated by you; they're going to think you're a clown.

Artest is right -- someone who kicks your ass like it was no big deal -- those were the dudes that de-moralized you.

[GOBB]

You made more crybaby replies than AJ Price and Tyler Hansborough combined. Neither are upset nor butt hurt about it. You on the other hand? Continue your moronic whines. Thats funny that a bball player can get under the skin of a fan who wasnt in attendance of what took place. And that the players themselves dont respond like the fan that wasnt even there.

And you wouldnt have did anything if you were AJ Price besides continue to shoot your FTs and wait for downtown to post on ISH. Thus supplying us with another stupid thread. Heck if you were AJ Price maybe KG would have spoken on behalf of all of us and say "F*ck your threads".

[Mateo]

garnett's always been a dick. he put a minny rookie in the hospital one time during training camp because the rookie was outplaying him.

KG is ignorant and acts like a child. You dont know hoe AJ or Hansborough truly reacted. For all you know they lost all respect for KG. I know I couldnt respect someone who ran around like a kid all day and refused to grow up and conduct himself like a man.

And KG has won a ring in Boston being the major reason for it. And Boston is one of the favorites to win it all this season. KG again being the reason. You can also go to past champions and find "suspect" behavior. yu can also go and find past shortcomers who were modest in thier approach.

Basically your point is I prefer the guy who doesnt talk than the guy who does. Thats it. You and others may frown on Kgs antics but atleast he is consistent with who he is and not fake. I find this kind of stuff funny. Reminds me of stories from older players in team sports.

It's more just like c'mon man, you can just be polite and say hi to a younger player who probably grew up idolizing you. You're right that it's not really a big deal, but there's never any harm in being respectful to another man whose done nothing to wrong you.

GOBB doesn't like to be polite online, he has to say hi to everybody on his mail route when hes stuffing their mailboxes.

[DuMa]

how is that disrespecting when you are unofficially supposed to haze rookies in this league. you haze them on your own team so im supposed to guess u do worst or become ignorant of other teams' rookies as well. they havent done anything in this league to be honest so i dont see why garnett has to acknowledge them. maybe the way he did was kind of a prick move but its not really required of him to do it anyway.

[Magic Vinsanity]

KG was D12's favourite player and when they finally met when Howard joined the league, KG treated him like sh*t and said he had no game or something.

KG is just a b*tch.

Yea exactly. You can win by acting like a dick, and you can win by being polite; it doesn't really matter. I don't think Tim Duncan is any less competitive than KG. So why have all that negative energy?

[HylianNightmare]

if it's true it doeasn't really matter, since everyone knows kg's a douche like that

[Sanity]

Does anyone really consider KG a tough guy?

Their is a difference between being intense and being an ignorant moron. It's like when he got drafted straight out of high school it made his brain stop working right then and there.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you mother ****in *** white boi ***** made ****er

people actually think championships mean something in life? the fact that KG is a champion means **** to me...As a man it makes me thing nothing more or less of him. His behavior is what I judge him on and he can barely speak and acts like a child. I dont care if its fake or not, its not the behavior of a man.

There are always gonna be the people who say well "KG makes more money than you"...and I wouldnt trade my IQ and ability to percieve the world for KG's IQ/talent combo ever. The world isnt about just money/fame

[ElGuapo702]

If I was on the downside of my career, and Rasheed Wallace was getting all the praise like I once did, and I was at best the third best player on my team but felt I was an All-Star no questions asked... I'd be bitter, too. KG's never been a nice guy though. If he's not on the court talking smack, he's on the sidelines cussing everyone one out when the Celtics can barely get by the 8-seed Bulls.

KG is the juice that drives the hype machine

does that explain why he gets on all 4s and barks like a dog at rookies in the middle of games?

[Kblaze8855]

Charles Oakley used to ***** Scottie Pippen as a rookie on his own team. Anyone remember the stories on Bird first meeting rookie Jordan?

Fans getting too soft. Why should I give a damn that a guy disrespects a rookie...on another team?


What a disgusting ignorant piece of ****.

I hope he blows out his knee and never recovers.

You must be very very easily disgusted. Saying "**** your rookies" wouldnt be among the 20 worst things I said in 09.

Got grown ass men online crying wishing injury on another person....

Wanting someone you dont know to get hurt is way more immoral to me than not going out of your way to be friendly with some people you are gonna be competing with for the next few years.

He went straight to the NBA, in part, because he couldn't get into any colleges because his test scores were so bad. KG is pretty much the definition of a genetic lottery winner.

to annoy you apparently :oldlol:

[GOBB]

GOBB doesn't like to be polite online, he has to say hi to everybody on his mail route when hes stuffing their mailboxes.

And you actually have kids. I feel sorry for how they will be raised by you. Your kids will treat you like the embarrassing family member who they keep secret from thier friends/peers.

your kids friend "Is that your dad waving to you?"
your kid "No, its just my uncle."
your friend "Where is your dad?"
your kid "Uhhh he travels alot."

How many times have your kids told you "I hate you I hate you!"? I mean the board pretty much does that here so its not a reach to assume your own kids do it. :confusedshrug:

yes this is it. people are tough on each other in the league to make them tough. no one is gonna give you anything. KG is not gonna give you a welcome. you have to earn it. survival of the fittest in the NBA, like in real life.

.

Why should I care that a grown ass man curses at another person for no reason...

Honestly I dont care it doesnt effect me, but it is just another instanse of KG acting like a ignorant. Why use profanity in public towards another person especially someone he doesnt know. Lucky that wasnt Anthony Peeler Jr. Its just distasteful and in conjunction with everything else just comes off as ignorant. I love competition and love trash talking but with KG, I dont even take it serious because he like a caracature. He is a joke, its like listening to black sterotype and to me that is sickening.

it doesnt annoy me, it just makes me embarrassed to be of a race where that type of behavior is tolerated and seemingly embraced by a decent portion.

I'm all about that, that's the league I grew up on and love. Could you see Oakley putting up with Garnett's ****? He would nail his ass and knock him down to size

[ProfessorMurder]

yes this is it. people are tough on each other in the league to make them tough. no one is gonna give you anything. KG is not gonna give you a welcome. you have to earn it. survival of the fittest in the NBA, like in real life.

I don't know why people are such b*tches about this stuff.

If you f*ck up a report or something in a job, you're getting screamed at. If you show up in a new place and act like the sh*t, you're going to get a lot of crap. People being ***** and hazing each other is everywhere. Deal with it, prove you're good enough, and they'll stop. Sack up.

Life's a b*tch, other people just make it worse.

I don't necessarily like KG or anyone acting like that, but it's the way it is... Crying about it won't help.

[DuMa]

life is a b1tch. sack up, pu$$y

[ElGuapo702]

He was probably jealous Price and Hansbrough went to college. Life can be cruel sometimes.

[ProfessorMurder]

Hahaha I literally said the same thing. :cheers:

[Younggrease]

life is a b1tch. sack up, pu$$y

that literally does not apply to my post at all.

I just dont associate with people like KG...that how I deal with it.

its not even about that its a pattern of immature behavior. If you can condone that type of behavior maybe it says something about you. Hazing someone is fine. The distinction you not making is that he isnt making them look bad, he is making himself look ignorant for cursing at people public. When did "**** you" become acceptable language for a grown man? If KG wanted to haze there are a million ways to do it while not making himself look ignorant but he choose one of the few that make himself look like a child.

[CJ Mustard]

Bit too dramatic to me. People online always act like any minor infraction is the worst thing that ever happened. Disgusting? sickening?

I just dont buy it. you are a grown man sitting at a computer probably also watching the NFL like I am....I dont believe you really give a damn. Fake outrage annoys me a bit and I dont think you have so little going on in your life that you really give a damn about this.

People get on the internet and start acting like fake ass politicians pretending irrelevant **** just offends them to their very core. I just dont buy it.

This **** just isnt that major.

If he smacked the dude....fine. He said "**** your rookies". Ive said worse to people I love. Why should I be upset because of this?

Why should anyone? Ive done too many things myself to be hating on another man for not being friendly to some rookies.

This isnt Karl Malone ****ing a 12 year old here....

[Younggrease]

thats fine. just dont whine about it.

how the hell is that whining...someone made a thread on the topic and I responded. how about making sense? I couldnt care less about KGs existance. If he won 200 mill lottery tommorrow or died tommorrow would not effect me one bit...

pls point to the outrage...b/c there is none in my post.(I simply stated that he was a caracture, which I can make a very valid argument to prove)

I dont watch the NFL...Im in front of my cpu doing this and work.

Again I dont care about this particular incident or anything KG does. But it is what it is. He is ignorant and childish and there is a pattern of behavior to back that up.

Im not upset, I dont give a damn about KG. Its just sad that this stuff is condoned. It doesnt bother but that doesnt mean that I cant offer commentary based on my thought upon the event and what I know about the person committing it. The fact that I typed up a 1 minute response does not mean that I give a damn about it. I type responses to **** I dont care about everyday and this is no different.

They love me lots.

Im pretty sure your mom & dad are embarassed knowing their son is the neighborhood mailman who serves the public by day with those god forsaken advertisements & bills, yet comes home to their basement and becomes an online basketball expert by night.

How many times has your mother asked you when you would finally get a girlfriend? Its a good thing you're in your 30's and can say you're just waiting for "the one".

I dont think its so much condoned as it is seen for what it is. Irrelevant. 6 months ago KG said something to someone. And here we sit with adults apparently disgusted wishing injury on him.

**** is just weak to me. Such a non issue for people to be upset about. There are real issues in the world. I nthe world of sports even. Here we sit 6 months after a man disrespected some rookies discussing what it means about his personality with other people wishing injury on him over it?

You would think the guy ended a speech to some pre schoolers iwth "Bust a n*gga head, smack a b*tch, shoot the club up!".

Dude was talking to some grown men he is expected to compete against and humble in the days to come. Ive had worse said to me pickup games with friends and with people I didnt know.

Took no offense. These guys probably forgot it 11 seconds later but after 6 months we have grown ass men online complaining?

Fans have gone tastycake lately.

+1.

Either way, I dislike KG mainly because he goes about being an arrogant ******* when he has accomplished nothing in his life other than in the game of basketball. Rookie hazing happens, but most of that hazing is in an encouraging joking way. KG is just a *********, and the NBA has been trying to seperate itself from the "public" image that the league is full of thugs & selfish *******s.

Why do you think they force so many of their non-thugs and non-selfish *******s into a classroom or community center to help underpriviliged children, and then cut the cameras on to film a NBA Cares commercial?

Nobody should be forced to put up with the immaturity of a 33 year old man in the public spotlight.

So what do you suggest should be done.. Send him off to the ethics committee and have them train him about common courtesy? Personally i'm a basketball fan, and therefore anything any NBA player does off the court is irrelevant to me. Especially whether he meets and greets people with a friendly smile and handshake. Who cares?:violin:

I didn't say I approve of his behavior. Read my post before saying, 'maybe it says something about you'.

I didn't say I approve of hazing, I think hazing is the gayest thing ever. But people still do it. You can't change sh*t like that.

Have you ever been to a New York? People say f*ck you all the time.

It's not ignorant to say 'f*ck you' hahahaha. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[White Chocolate]

Is KG a d!ck? Yes

Is he ignorant? Yes

Is he annoying? Yes

Is he going to mess with the wrong person one day and pay for it? Probably

Is this story an issue? Hardly


We all know what KG is like these days. It's nothing new and he probably is going to piss off the wrong person. Let's just hope that happens and when it does, then it will be a story.

[Kblaze8855]

Either way, I dislike KG mainly because he goes about being an arrogant ******* when he has accomplished nothing in his life other than in the game of basketball.

How often does someone accomplish major things in something other than what they devoted their life to? Hes been playing basketball for a living for 15 years and spent several before that playing with the hopes of getting that living. After about 18 years devoting your life to one thing what are the odds you have accomplished much in several other areas?



Nobody should be forced to put up with the immaturity of a 33 year old man in the public spotlight.

You are being forced to read about 6 month old comments?

How have you ever been forced to put up with anything KG or any other athlete has ever done that wasnt in your face?

I go to NY a lot. I also dont here people in personal situations yelling F you to people. There is a time and place element. Maybe it will be said in the street with passing cars or over an argument. But no one is gonna be a Macys and just go up to someone and say F you. Thats ignorant and more akin to what KG did.

Also imo screaming F you to people is ignorant. Just b/c you seem to run into a lot of ignorant people in NY doesnt make it any less ignorant. Just because a lot of people do something doesnt make it less ignorant.

You're full of bull****.

That is the main reason why pick-up games often end in violence with fights and sometimes even worse. Pulling up and hitting a jumper in somebody's face and yelling "Take that **** broseph, How my ass taste? woop woop" is not compared to pulling up and hitting a jumper in somebody's face and yelling "**** you insert slur here".

I hate overly aggressive basketball players who try to physical & verbally attack you in hopes of throwing you off your game, and in the process provoking a fight. I simply hate overly aggressive people in general that go about life provoking people due to their own insecurities, nobody who hasn't done anything to you deserves to be physically or verbally abused.

In this case it was an assistant coach asking KG to just head down the hall and say something to their rookies because "they're new to the NBA blah,blah,blah". Maybe give some advice or whatever he wants to say to them. He could've easily have said No and claimed he was busy. Instead the ghetto mentality of him comes out and he just clearly disrespects them by saying "**** your rookies" for no reason.

AJ Price obviously didn't take it to heart because hes been through a lot in his life as well, but I gurantee you anybody else who is equally as aggressive as KG would've followed his ass and down the hall and blackened his eye.

[SilkyJohnson]

Kobe would have given Price tips...

Yeah, like..

"Always book hotel rooms under an alias..."

[Younggrease]

You're full of bull****.

That is the main reason why pick-up games often end in violence with fights and sometimes even worse. Pulling up and hitting a jumper in somebody's face and yelling "Take that **** broseph, How my ass taste? woop woop" is not compared to pulling up and hitting a jumper in somebody's face and yelling "**** you insert slur here".

I differ from you here because Im arrogant as hell when I ball and if provoked will talk back. I dont usually curse but sometimes the things that piss people off the most are slurs. Thats just a part of bball, you cant take that away.

[ProfessorMurder]

I go to NY a lot. I also dont here people in personal situations yelling F you to people. There is a time and place element. Maybe it will be said in the street with passing cars or over an argument. But no one is gonna be a Macys and just go up to someone and say F you. Thats ignorant and more akin to what KG did.

Also imo screaming F you to people is ignorant. Just b/c you seem to run into a lot of ignorant people in NY doesnt make it any less ignorant. Just because a lot of people do something doesnt make it less ignorant.

Saying f*ck you is not ignorant. It's two freaking words. Yelling two words at someone doesn't make you ignorant.

You've never once in your life, said that to anyone? If you say you've never said f*ck you, you're lying.

[pete's montreux]

Gotta agree with KBlaze. Buncha ******* in here. Can't admit the fact that they just don't like KG. Doesn't matter what he does. Doesn't matter that KBlaze had a long post a while ago in regards to KG only picking on smaller white guards and he outlined a number of incidents involving players who were equal in size or bigger. But of course, it was completely ignored in that thread and everyone went on with their lives hating.

But it's funny, you know, ISH spends all their time complaining about the good old days, when the players were tough and that was *real* basketball. Bird telling Xavier McDaniels he's gonna drop a thrice in his face to win a game and to go f*ck himself. You guys laugh about it and say how badass Bird was and all those defensive bigmen of the 80's/90's.

Then comes playoff basketball when the refs swallow their whistles and the REAL men are made and REAL basketball is played, and you're all ready for it. "Here comes playoff basketball guys!" Hard fouls, technicals, flagrants, suspensions, fights, brawls, and that's playoff basketball.

But when KG says "F*ck your rookies" you guys are complaining?

Uhhh, what? :rolleyes:

Lamar Odom or any other big man does something like that and all the LO/LA homers are like "yeah dawg, punk that b*tch!" But when KG does it, he's an a*shole and a prick.

And I'm not saying this because I'm a Boston fan, if this were someone else I'd be saying the same exact thing, but you guys don't complain about anyone else. You've all got UKGMad? syndrome

These days, saying those two words can get your head blown off. Just about everyone has said it jokingly. If you say that and are serious about it, then you're just asking for trouble. KG will get his one day.

We have some real twinkie filling people on here....

Yes ive seen fights at a game. Not often. But they have happened. What of it?

You hate aggression. People who use it to throw you off your game. Fine. That mean it isnt standard practice? And KG is not all that aggressive. He grew up like 2 minutes from where I sit. Ive known him(not all that well) since like 1992. Hes loud. hes not aggressive. There is a difference.

[ProfessorMurder]

These days, saying those two words can get your head blown off. Just about everyone has said it jokingly. If you say that and are serious about it, then you're just asking for trouble. KG will get his one day.

2 words could get you killed in any time in history... That's not my point though. Saying those two words doesn't make someone ignorant.

Are you implying that KG will be murdered for telling 2 people to f*ck themselves?

[GOBB]

They love me lots.

Im pretty sure your mom & dad are embarassed knowing their son is the neighborhood mailman who serves the public by day with those god forsaken advertisements & bills, yet comes home to their basement and becomes an online basketball expert by night.

How many times has your mother asked you when you would finally get a girlfriend? Its a good thing you're in your 30's and can say you're just waiting for "the one".

Yes I live at home with my mom in the #1 location most internet posters say...the basement. Wow that was viscious. how do I recover? Perhaps i'll just pull a KG and say "F*ck your reply" in which you and others will get butt hurt that a grown man is acting like an immature kid. Thus I'm disgusting, sickening and just just omg just really wuuuude. :rolleyes:

And your kids dont love you...thats why you spend most of your time here with us, the people of ISH than them. Did you make them, breakfast this morning Interminator? No. Did you even say Good Morning to them Interminator? No. Wait did you tuck them in bed last night Interminator? No.

Why not? Oh you were here spamming moronic threads. You're basically the live in boyfriend right now. Your kids call you by your first name. Make a thread about how disgusting, sickening and rude that is. How many times did you attempt to tell them do stop, do this/that, no and they ignore you? I mean mommy wears the pants. mommy is mom and dad wrapped in 1. You're just *insert first name* the live in boyfriend who hogs the internet and gets into heated TMZ discussions with your lady about things only a Hair Salon would be interested in. I mean you're more b!tch than the female you knocked up not once, not twice but 3 times. What kind of poor decision maker is she? :oldlol:

Are you kids involved in anything outside the home? Sports? Girl Scots/Boy Scouts? What activities? Wait you dont know. Mommy takes care of all that. You just sit online and create senseless threads time and time again. Did it sting when your kids gave your lady "Happy Fathers day" cards? :confusedshrug:

I feel bad your kids have some of your genes. Not sure there is medication they could take to supress the stupidity that will inevitably come out of them as they grow up. Ah well.

[Interminator]

Saying f*ck you is not ignorant. It's two freaking words. Yelling two words at someone doesn't make you ignorant.

The **** is wrong with you white people.

I've never walked up to a random person who wasn't deserving of being disrespected and yelled "**** You" to them.

Maybe its my upbringing, but walking up to someone random and yelling "**** You" gives you a choice of going to jail, the hospital, or to the morgue.

[pete's montreux]

I don't know what basketball is like outside of Boston, but if someone throws down because someone hit a jumper in their face and says "f*ck you b*tch" it's because they're not there for basketball, they're there to fight. Those are guys that would throw a punch at the drop of a hat, those guys aren't ballers.

I've had that happen to me tons of times, I just get back on offense and go back at the dude. Simple as that. I'm not gonna catch feelings 'cause some random guy says f*ck me as he drains a J in my face, I'm gonna do the same and not say sh*t or stuff his ass next trip down.

If KG did this on the streets, there's a good chance it would cost him his life. I'm not against trash talking, but most people know when to stop and focus on the game. KG doesn't know when to stop. He's going to piss off the wrong person one day and when it happens, you're not going to find too many people that will sympathize with him.

[Kblaze8855]

Exactly.

There is nothing about him to be arrogant about, his only feeling of self worth is his bank account and the fact he has scored a lot of points playing a game.

Thats about it.

So athletes with hundreds of millions of dollars shouldnt be arrogant?

Most everyone is arrogant to some degree....and people who are among the best to ever do something...who made hundreds of millions off of it...shouldnt be?


Do something for charity, Impact someone's life positively, etc. Do something good for society and actually impact it other than just being a famous face apart of it, before you talk **** and overvalue yourself.

Kevin Garnetts sister runs a number of things he does around here of a positive nature. I dont know how directly hes involved but they have done some good.


Bill Gates can talk **** about everyone. Why? Because hes actually done **** worth **** talking about. Does Bill Gates talk **** publicly? No, because hes not a ghetto fool like KG who doesn't realize he will be an irrelevant tall ****** with no education once his career is over.

Wow.....


Im not being forced to read it however that doesn't change the fact that it existed, and it was printed in a recent article that I came across.

So you were mad that you were forced to put up with...and upon seeing that you were in no way forced to put up with it...now youre upset it existed and someone gave you access to it? And you decided to expose yourself to it when given the chance?

You follow a league of 400 millionaires you dont know and are upset some of them are arrogant and stories of their minor infractions are put online for you to find?

Do you melt in the rain?

[pete's montreux]

Why would KG do it on the streets in the first place? KG in the NBA is a job, It's business, in the streets, that's just for fun. He's probably playing at a 1/16th of his usual intensity. And you're telling me that if he does say something like that, dudes are just gonna murder him right there? Bat to his head, couple shots to his chest?

[ProfessorMurder]

What the hell are you talking about? Where did I say that I run around, go up to strangers, scream f*ck you to their face, slap them, and skip away with glee? Please tell me where I said that.

What does race have anything to do with it? This was started to complain about KG who's black, yet white people have the problems. Get your sh*t together man.

[Interminator]

2 words could get you killed in any time in history... That's not my point though. Saying those two words doesn't make someone ignorant.
Depending on the context of using it, yes, yes it makes you come across as ignorant.

Didn't your parents ever tell you to "watch your mouth" or "have manners"?

Someone going around saying "**** You" to people is definetly someone you can believe is ignorant. And people like that are happy with being ignorant until they get humbled.



Are you implying that KG will be murdered for telling 2 people to f*ck themselves?
No, but eventually he'll get his.

It doesn't mean getting murdered, it doesn't even mean he'll be harmed, but eventually KG will get his.

He oughta ask Paul Pierce about getting humbled after Paul Pierce got fish fileted up in a nightclub about 8 years ago.

[pete's montreux]

I have never yelled "f you" to a person that I dont know in a public place in front of colleagues...

[Interminator]

You must doubt a lot of things.

Didn't KG & crew beat some white boys up real bad down in South Carolina? Im not saying he was a gang member, but he has the mob mentality in his blood.

That was before he even played a game, back in late 1998-early 1999. I don't know for sure if Pierce started it, but running your mouth can have similar results. If you do your job and mind your business, odds are you won't get into any trouble.

[haterofhaters]

No, he was in his third season.

[Kblaze8855]

Mob mentality in his blood? how would you possibly know that? have you ever spoken a word to this person? Even the people who live here dont know what happened with that. It was half mentioned on a beyond the glory them flatly saying they dont know what happened either and people act like they do. I played basketball at the park in KGs neighborhood all the time. I have friends who went to the school with him. And ive never once heard a clear story of what happened. It was a non issue at the time.

[Interminator]

It has a lot to do with it.

White people find it funny to get in a car and roll down their windows and yell "**** You" to strangers and maybe even throw a soda at them while driving.

Non-ignorant Black people don't walk up to anybody and say "**** You" unless you deserve it for your previous disrespectful actions. The ignorant black people like KG continually do so despite the context.

[haterofhaters]

Disagree. By being a rich and famous athlete, there are gonna be people who hate you just for that reason. There are people who hate you just for the simple fact that you get paid millions of dollars to put a ball through a hoop while others do things that are far more complicated and get paid a fraction of that... I believe that KG is smart enough to know the time and the place for his comments seeing as he's been in the league for so many years and you never hear of him being involved with the law or in a bunch of off court altercations.

[Younggrease]

Two words, do not allow you to delve into someone's consciousness to determine if the person is ignorant or not. You can make a snap judgement, but that doesn't make it true.

I said say "f You" is ignorant as it is ignorant conduct. Whether one instance of ignorant conduct alone make you ignorant is another question that doesnt needed to be addressed due to its simplicity. But I called KG igorant based on prior acts and called this act ignorant. There is a distinction between the two.

I will leave you here b/c this is seeming just going to keep going in circles and unlike GOBB, I gotta life and things to do and obligations to meet.

[Kblaze8855]

People reminding me of Ned Flanders watching tapes of tv shows looking for **** to complain about:

Rod: Daddy, what are you doing?
Ned Flanders: Imploring people I never met to pressure a government with better things to do to punish a man who meant no harm for something nobody even saw, that's what I'm doing!
Todd: Daddy, I think we need a new mommy.
Ned: One problem at a time!

[Younggrease]

I didn't ask if you've yelled it in public to someone you didn't know. I asked if you ever said it.

This thread wouldn't exist if it were say...Shaq. If it were Shaq, it would just be tough love to young rookies, or rookie hazing, totally normal sh*t. KG? F*cking catastrophe. Alert the press.

No, he was in his third season.


I double checked and it was in September 2000. I thought it ws during his rookie season for some reason.

That's true, but if I'm that rich and famous, I wouldn't be at a club or put myself in a similar situation, but that's just me. I'm not against players going to clubs or having lives, but they need to be aware of those risks and make sure they're safe.

the acts that Bill did and the one's KG do are inherently different and lead to different conclusions about the man.

After reading through these replies, I must say I have lost respect for GOBB, and all the particular boston celtic homer fans trying to defend him.

The incident was clear. Garnett could've handled it better. He could've just said no, and there would be no discussion. But instead, he said it in a disrespectful manner. I have been a big fan of KG since his Minnesota days but have become tired of his unnecessary arrogance. That is all.

Going by his actions on the court, I'm not inclined to believe he'd be any different off the court. If you see someone on the news that was convicted of say... assault, would you think he'd be any different in person? Probably not. If you see someone that's a d!ck to others, why would you think they'd all of a sudden be this caring, sincere person when you meet them?

This is not a smart homo-sapien we are speaking of. Plus he got punked out by Anthony Peeler.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Allnet...


Why do I feel like you used to be a Pistons fan?

Am I thinking of someone else? and I mean like...03-05.

haha i thought the same thing...think they both just had net in their names.

[ProfessorMurder]

Anybody that says the words 'f*ck you', is a terrible human being. That pretty much sums up the thread.

Idiocy.

[Abd El-Krim]

What really happened - Anthony Peeler was working out in the Pacers gym too. KG pissed himself and had to bail.

[PistonsFan#21]

Going by his actions on the court, I'm not inclined to believe he'd be any different off the court. If you see someone on the news that was convicted of say... assault, would you think he'd be any different in person? Probably not. If you see someone that's a d!ck to others, why would you think they'd all of a sudden be this caring, sincere person when you meet them?

Fedor Emelianeko is a beast on the fighting ring and has no mercy for his opponent when he is not fighting...Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and Wade play each other tough on the court with physical defense and aggressive plays yet they are good friends when they are off the court. Same thing for Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. My point is that just because you act one way on the basketball court doesnt mean you act the same when you are not playing.

Do you think Kobe has his killer face on and never smiles or talk to anyone when he is at home or on the streets? :confusedshrug:

[ihatetimthomas]

Eh, rookies often get the shyt treatment, so its not a big deal to me. KG is just being KG. This is who he is. He can be a total jackass but he brings it on the court. Of course I wish he was such a total douchebag bc I really have liked the guys since he was drafted, but its just his personality.

This should just give AJ and Tyler more motivation to work on their games and show him what they are made of.

[33teeth]

You made more crybaby replies than AJ Price and Tyler Hansborough combined. Neither are upset nor butt hurt about it. You on the other hand? Continue your moronic whines. Thats funny that a bball player can get under the skin of a fan who wasnt in attendance of what took place. And that the players themselves dont respond like the fan that wasnt even there.

And you wouldnt have did anything if you were AJ Price besides continue to shoot your FTs and wait for downtown to post on ISH. Thus supplying us with another stupid thread. Heck if you were AJ Price maybe KG would have spoken on behalf of all of us and say "F*ck your threads".

...and now you're the one acting "butt hurt" by how "butt hurt" he is. Maybe you just like thinking about hurt butts?

"I remember one time Kevin Garnett was mushing him, and shoving him in the face; and Tim Duncan didn't do anything, he didn't react. He just kicked Kevin Garnett's ass, and won the damn championship. You know what I'm sayin'? That's gangsta. Everybody can show emotion, dunk on somebody, scream and be real cocky; but Tim Duncan is a ... he's a pimp."

-Ron Artest

As someone who played fairly high-level AAU basketball in high school, I really don't like how people try to excuse borderline sociopathic behavior by basketball players as necessary for greatness. I think Duncan proves you can be an all-time great without being a dick to everyone around you.

I always thought the guys who would try to talk trash and psych out the other team were suspect. Good players aren't going to be intimidated by you; they're going to think you're a clown.

Artest is right -- someone who kicks your ass like it was no big deal -- those were the dudes that de-moralized you.

:applause: No reason to act like an ass... just shut up and play.

[G-train]

I think we all realise even a semi-decent person would have gone and introduced himself to the 2 guys.
Did the rookies care? Nope. Would they think Garnett is an ass. Yep - but join the club, its a million strong.
Good player though.

[magnax1]

Haven't we already proven Garnett, Artest, and Rasheed Wallace are mentally insane?

What's your point? 2 more players that acted regrettably at times.

[wang4three]

I love KG, but it's kinda sad that he isn't aging gracefully. Well into his 30s he's still acting like the child he came into the league as.

Actually I can't remember a time on the T'Wolves where he acted like he has in Boston. He actually seemed pretty humble and nice in Minnesota.

KG is a punkassbeyotch, but as long as he doesn't play for the Fakers, he's ok.

[wang4three]

Well, he's always had a foul mouth. I used to love it when he was screaming mother****er or any other expletive so loud it could be heard over the rim mic...but now as I got older it just seems immature and stupid especially considering he's not a young adult anymore.

[Killbot]

OMG. He said the F-word to the rookies. This is such a major issue.

SAT test has no relevance on professional basketball career. And the truth of the matter which you nor others wont agree with? You envy the guy because he does something he loves and gets paid alot to do so. But hey you scored higher on the SAT than KG. You >>>>> KG. :ohwell:

Now, now, those two guys never acted like a retard. Unlike KG.

[MiseryCityTexas]

If I were AJ Price I would've clocked his weak ass for being such a *********.

he prolly would have kicked garnett's ass. everyone knows kevin garnett fights like a girl, if you watched him play in the t wolves era.

[Harison]

KG said "FU"? Its unthinkable! Call care police! :rolleyes:

Yes he is an ass, anything new and worthy of yet another 10+ pages thread? Cant wait till he taunts someone, threads will multiply in geometric progression :oldlol:

At least he is good at what he does and earned like quarter of a billion, do tell about your life's success story.

[Floppy]

Grow a pair you whiny *****es.

KG haters are hilarious. You don't even know the context yet you get your panties in a bunch.

**** you ****ing ******y ****s.

Don't hate me I'd cry.

[haji_d_robertas]

Larry Bird would have done the same thing. Some people are competitive that way...

[Big#50]

And KG has won a ring in Boston being the major reason for it. And Boston is one of the favorites to win it all this season. KG again being the reason. You can also go to past champions and find "suspect" behavior. yu can also go and find past shortcomers who were modest in thier approach.

Basically your point is I prefer the guy who doesnt talk than the guy who does. Thats it. You and others may frown on Kgs antics but atleast he is consistent with who he is and not fake. I find this kind of stuff funny. Reminds me of stories from older players in team sports.
**** KG. It was a team effort. KG is a 7ft *****.

[Younggrease]

that fact that you assume people arent good at what they do makes you sound like a failure...

[RajonKGcelts]

:oldlol:

Kobe at least is a real man, he wouldn't be friendly to the rookies or really cared about meeting them but he'd at least shake their hand and may say something to Tyler Hansbrough.

KG is just an ignorant punk.


Raping a women is the definition of being a real man

[33teeth]

Where sounding dumb happens. :rolleyes:


Ohhh!! Hurtful. Go put some ointment on that sh* $ :sleeping

Garnett is a good ball player but a jackass. Deal with it. You like to use the phrase "butt hurt" way too often for it to be anything other than a sign of a fetish. Deal with that too.

[KelticForce1349]

people actually think championships mean something in life? the fact that KG is a champion means **** to me...As a man it makes me thing nothing more or less of him. His behavior is what I judge him on and he can barely speak and acts like a child. I dont care if its fake or not, its not the behavior of a man.

There are always gonna be the people who say well "KG makes more money than you"...and I wouldnt trade my IQ and ability to percieve the world for KG's IQ/talent combo ever. The world isnt about just money/fame


This guy gets it. I admire the skill and talent of KG as a Basketball player, but my opinion of him as a person continues to decline. A little bit of rookie hazing can be amusing and can knockdown the ego of a kid that thinks he is too good too soon. Anyone think AJ or Tyler are sitting around thinking they are too good for most NBA players already?

Most of these young men coming into the league have looked up to guys like KG for years and years. They have worked their asses off to be part of the very same league that KG is in. Nobody is suggesting that KG needs to give these kids tips on how to beat the Celtic's in the playoffs, just say a few encouraging words. Even the most trite "work hard, and watch out for the injuries" drivel would suffice and mean so much to most of these guys.

If you have the chance to pull somebody up or push them down, why would you want to be the negative person?

You sad stupid moron

I have already stated I'm still a big fan of the Pistons but I have since moved to L.A where I am part of a company that gets deals with the Lakers and am now a season ticket holder. It was the same in Detroit, I become a season ticket holder when my job was there....and it has happened in L.A. I have moved and don't plan on moving ever again.

I didn't get owned at all, there is nothing to get owned about

You are one sad person who would search for past topics about me....I lived in Detroit then and went to the games. Hense why I become a fan. Same here in L.A.

deal with it.

Wow! I cant believe this thread went to 11 pages over KG disrespecting some rookies, something everyone has known for years now.

I bet if this wasnt KG, nobody would be talking about it. All of the people on here making a big deal are Lakers fans which isnt suprising. I am a Laker fan myself, and as a Laker fan, you should know that Kobe is the biggest sh*t talker in the NBA, but it does not get reported because he doesnt have a reputation for it like KG.

If you ever go to a game, and actually sit close, you can hear how much sh*t talking goes on between players, but somehow KG is the only one that is always targetted. I cant believe people still get butt hurt over something like this. Infact I think our league today has become a bunch of pu**ies in general, where everything is a foul. What happened to hard hits, and actually earning a foul?

Some of you need to get a reality check, and take light of this situation. KG is just trying to prove to the rookies who is the boss, and if anything that should give them motivation to become better and prove these superstars wrong that all look at them as scrubs.

You think when a rookie is guarding Kobe, Lebron, Wade that they are not thinking the same thing KG is, they probably are and sometimes they let it be known, but nobody talks about that. Its part of the game, and if these rookies can accept it, then why cant we?

[Juges8932]

Why should I care that a grown ass man curses at another person for no reason...

Honestly I dont care it doesnt effect me, but it is just another instanse of KG acting like a ignorant. Why use profanity in public towards another person especially someone he doesnt know. Lucky that wasnt Anthony Peeler Jr. Its just distasteful and in conjunction with everything else just comes off as ignorant. I love competition and love trash talking but with KG, I dont even take it serious because he like a caracature. He is a joke, its like listening to black sterotype and to me that is sickening.

Not to say you're ignorant or stupid, but if you are going to call KG ignorant or state that he has a low IQ, you might want to spell and type correctly yourself.

In a game? Yes
In a playoff game? Definitely
But in a friendly environment where you're shooting a commercial and a couple of kids, who have been idolizing you and the NBA life for so long, that just got drafted wants to meet you and you say F them? Something wrong that
