I remember I read in Beckett Basketball Monthly (back in '01) that KG has a serious attitude problem. The article was about players that you shouldn't approach for autographs and KG was #3 on the list.

They said that when they tried to get his autograph he snatched the pen and intentionally smeared the ink with his hand while he was writing... I'm really not that shocked that he would haul off and punch a rookie.

[RajonKGcelts]

For all you weak ass fans keep in mind he was playing in LA. Why give an LA fan ballboy his autograph? he doesn't like the lakers, thats how to act. your all *******

[The_Yearning]

Why would you ask KG for his autograph anyways?

[Myth]

For all you weak ass fans keep in mind he was playing in LA. Why give an LA fan ballboy his autograph? he doesn't like the lakers, thats how to act. your all *******

Right, and he didn't have a more respectful alternative to turn him down.

[Stuckey]

lol that's funny

[Bernie Nips]

:oldlol: that is absolutely brilliant. I tip my hat to you KG.

[SoCalMike]

yep, he's definitely a class act... :rolleyes:




:pimp:

[strifed169]

why do all the known a hole players treat ballboys like crap, see lbj vs ballboy

[jasonresno]

What a *****. Take his ability to hoop away and he's just a fan like the kid.

[AMISTILLILL]

I don't blame him. I'd expect a similar attitude from Lamar Odom in Boston.

[RaininThrees]

Right, and he didn't have a more respectful alternative to turn him down.

Agreed.

[DuMa]

Right, and he didn't have a more respectful alternative to turn him down.

some lessons are meant to be taught the hard way. the kid will now learn not to try to get signatures from boston players while working for the lakers.

KG is an asshole but he is a correct asshole :)

[ProfessorMurder]

So most believed that KG wasn't enough of a wordsmith to say that Villanueva was cancerous, but everyone believes he can pull out an Osama line like that off the top of his head?

Well, whatever works for disliking KG I guess.


KG is in the right to not give the kid an autograph, but he could've been nicer. Still, it's not a huge deal.

Pretty funny, but it doesn't beat PP slapping everyone's hand next to the bench except for the kid in the LeBron James jersey.

He doesn't have to sign shit for anyone, it's his time, his signature, his choice... It's even less likely to happen when the person asking works for the rival team.

Would you sign autographs for thousands of people each year? I doubt it.

If I was lucky enough to be making millions of dollars a year to play a game for a living I think I would give that much back to the people that support the sport.

But whatever. KG isn't a slave, he doesn't have to sign shit. That's his decision.

so a young person deserves to be treated like that. If I am stern I give him two weeks with no pay. I hold a press conference and make the sorry piece of shit sign the ball and a hundred more for charity and I make every person in the league know that kind of behavior is NOT acceptable. If it was my son he did that to I would break his ****ing jaw.

[ihatetimthomas]

It is his right to not sign anything. But when you make that much money, are adored by fans around the world, and have kids look up to you as role models, then just give the kid a break. Who do you think is paying for part of your salary? The fans. The least he could have done is be polite about it but it just shows you how little class KG has. I have no problem with not wanting to sign, but no need to be a douche

for what it's worth, if i saw a celtics ball boy hounding kobe for an autograph i'd say a whole lot worse than that. If you can't see how that's disrespectful to your franchise, you don't deserve to work for it.

Breaking his jaw for what exactly? not signing the autograph? its not like he told the kid to get the f*ck out of his face. He simply told him there's a better chance to catch Bin Laden which means there is no chance at all he gets the autograp. I think you overreact on that one a bit.

well, hes never obligated to sign any autograph (except for the ones the nba makes him sign), so he's well within his rights. in the right? meh,

Yeah it was his choice to not sign anything but the way he said it was just terrible.

And to a ballyboy nonetheless.

Who cares if the boy is working for the Lakers? Still a basketball fan if he's asking for your signature.


Easy to say when your not one.

Try thinking how you would feel if you were a 15 year old asking a superstar for their signature, only to have them give you a douchebag comment.



Regarding him punching someone in the face, KG is just a ****, that guy he punched grow up idolizing KG :facepalm

KG doesn't deserve props for shit, I sometimes wish I didn't enjoy watching him play basketball cause he's such a retard - frekaing head case. Whole attitude is a massive :facepalm

[KOBEMAMBA24]

He is, and always has been, an idiot. He could have at least said it a little more nicely. A lot of the great players are douchebags, but this guy takes it to another level on and off the court.

[Real Men Wear Green]

A truly awesome line. LOL @ the "he's such a meanie!" crybabies.

[GOBB]

It was funny but this is just more proof that KG is more likely to have called Charlie V a cancer patient as opposed to "you are just cancerous to your team bro".

Doc Rivers "Sorry GOBB I was present when the ballboy asked. At the time KG head was bleeding, and he was visibly upset. So he told the kid now is not the time. You have a better chance at a later date. I was standing right there when it was said."

Cool story bro

Doc Rivers "Honest!"

It's a few seconds for me but the kid who I sign autograph for will remember it for a lifetime.
So I really can't understand NBA stars being so arrogant (at least he should walk away and not making that stupid bin laden comment)

[GOBB]

Totally irrelevant

[OhNoTimNoSho]

If more players were like KG, then it would be a better league.

[Rockets(T-mac)]

It's funny how you guys are saying that he shouldn't sign for the rivals, and the ball boy deserves this because he is going against his franchise.... Really the ball boy? He's the ****ing ball boy, he has no loyalty to the team, he's a ****ing ball boy. If you think that some kind of stupid logic like that give players the right to be d!cks, I"m sorry that's just stupid logic.

as much I would like to disagree, thats actually true. The fans do however help them win games and make money but it can be looked at either way, good arguments could be made.

Oh i'm not gonna argue that the fans don't help keep them hyped and charged during the game but people need to stop acting like these guys are owned by the fans of their franchise. they are basketball players, not slaves

[824]

I don't know why you guys act like this is a KG thing, stupid people say really stupid things. KQ is one of the dumbest players out there, and that says a lot considering the average IQ is like 100 (Am I being generous). He is a shitstain, but hey society created it so society deals with it.

does not give them the right to treat children like shit. No one has that right in this country. Maybe different in some third world shit hole but here no one does.

[Nero Tulip]

Just a pathetic human being with a long body. I honestly wouldn't want to be him.

[VIP2000]

Man, I used to own 2 of his Upper Deck autographed jersey cards but sold them both around 2003. I wished I had kept them.

Nice. I tend to think that about 4 seconds of my time, for millions upon millions of dollars, is a pretty fair trade off.

How did he treat him like shit exactly? he didnt swear or told the kid to f*ck off. He has the choice to sign the autograph or not. He didnt break any law here. You're making a big deal out of nothing man.

[VIP2000]

Holy crap, he autographed them? Did he kick you in the nuts and spit on you before doing it?

Oh no. I got two of them from opening packs of Upper Deck cards (they had to be redeemed through the mail though).

I know you are trying to be witty, but KG happily signs for his team fans, just refuses to sign for the enemies, like Lakers :cheers:

[Kellogs4toniee]

KG might be a jerk, but I sure as hell want him on my team.

[ProfessorMurder]

You people claiming that you would sign autographs all the time are f*cking retarded. Try writing your name 100 times each day while eating meals, after exercising, while trying to be with your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/kids. You absolutely would not do it all the time.

For the person that said, 'how would you feel if that was you?' I wouldn't f*cking ask someone for an autograph. It imposes on their life and I consider it rude, unless it's a legitimate autograph session. I'd say 'hi' or something and let them be. Celebrities and athletes just want to be left alone once in a while.

[Nick Menai]

Why would a Boston player sign an autograph for someone wearing lakers clothes?


If more players were like KG, then it would be a better league.

Agreed to an extent. This was at the game tho. So I wouldnt lump this with personal/me time. Some NBA players too were once snubbed autographs from players they idolized. More specifically Shaq when he seeked Drob. Its cool to turn down signing an autograph but you dont have to be a d!ck about it. I think thats fair to ask. Atleast given the situation. Now if he is at dinner with his lady and gets harrassed? By all means give them the vintage KG lingo.

[XxSMSxX]

[XxSMSxX]

Nice. I tend to think that about 4 seconds of my time, for millions upon millions of dollars, is a pretty fair trade off.

Except that 4 seconds is multiplied hundreds upon hundreds of times for every signature he gives out and frankly signing shit repeatedly like that seems like it would get annoying as balls after a while.

You are really defending this?

For a few million dollars a year, the adoration of fans, and a chance to play a sport I'm passionate for that'd be enough. Add on to the fact that people like that kid, his family, and the rest of the fans are the reason that KGs ***** ass is even getting paid to begin with...
