EDIT: A lot of people calling kg soft in this thread for how he use to act.Maybe Kevin Garnett just got tougher fellas.People change man just look @ kobe he went from getting his shit pushed in by a 6'1 pg,to being flung around like a little bitch by reggie miller,and being body slammed by raja bell.Look At him now 10 years later when dwight elbowed him in the face he...wait maybe people dont change

[Cocaine80s]

post a vid or vine you asshole

[Uncle Drew]

And KG headbutted Dwight.

[rezznor]

:biggums:
you forgot the part where garnett threw the ball at dwight and then head butted him first :coleman:

[Springsteen]

old man KG still doin' work :lol

[rezznor]

garnett ejected. he lost his damn mind. dwight didnt really punch kg, was more of a push after the head butt

[Uncle Drew]

KG ejected.

[T_L_P]

First time KG hasn't just put in a cheapshot and run away, tbh.

[ronnymac]

Kg is a fake tough guy lol

[Godzuki]

LOL i was watching this game. KG threw the ball at Dwight and then headbutted him when Dwight got in his face, then Dwight slapped him. then KG went nuts trying to get at him.

i don't like Dwight, but KG's definitely the one who made it all happen. he just got ejected too, Dwight still in.

[navy]

Didnt Garnett just blow in David West face early this season?

This dude is a legit no ****s to give guy. Not sure why people keep doubting him.

[YouGotServed]

Kevin Garnett tried to get under Dwight's skin but instead got himself ejected :roll: :roll: :roll: Dwight owns that clown once again

[Cocaine80s]

Dont u have league pass you broke ******?Just turn to the game

EDIT:I apologize for this comment
come the **** at me bro

[niko]

KG headbutted him. Clearly should be tossed. HOWEVER Howard hit him. Wasn't a punch. More a push type thing but he did hit him. Surprised he didnt' get tossed.

KG got some mental issues, he was going nuts that he got tossed. Did he think he wasn't? It wasn't lower the head, it was a headbutt.

KG tight with Kobe? That seemed planned.

West retaliated and KG raised his hands and acted like he didn't do anything (same thing he did with McDyess and others.)

He's been a beta since day one. I remember when David tried fighting him and he quivered like a little bitch.

[niko]

He might of well have punched him, all that happened is he got tossed and Rockets are about to obliterate the Nets.

[Spaulding]

Any gif or YouTube yet?

meh, according to gif i just saw howard touches kg, kg throws ball at him then headbutts him and then howard hits him.

This is how veterans get under your skin and get you off your game or ejected. Now Garnett messed up here but if someone pokes you like that and YOU start swinging then you probably face ejection and a possible suspension. Congrats thug life, you've done hour team dirty

Thats not a punch to me. I dont remember the last real on court NBA punch that landed. I remember some...but they were in the 80s/90s. Im sure some have come since then but all that comes to mind....bunch of brushes...open handed taps...missed punches...

These dudes dont wanna fight.

yea it was more of an open handed push

I can't stand Howard but KG is way worse. Dude has been a bitch from day one.

[HomieWeMajor]

In 30 years time KG gonna be in a retirement home talking trash to his helpers.

[Done_And_Done]

KG looked genuinely disgusted that Dwight would step to him. When it comes to altercations, the hell with both of these guys.

:oldlol: KG really didn't want to let that go, 10 seconds afterwards he was still trying to wade through people to get to Dwight.

[ArbitraryWater]

I think you forgot the part about KG headbutting Dwight..

Dwight took the swing too late, KG already ran away (I mean, it wasn't a midget white rookie he went at this time), should have gave him a hard one immediately.

He got ejected, Dwight stayed in the game, and he looked silly and like a bitch, much like he always does with this stuff.

Funny how much shit Dwight gets talked about him on here, calling him a p*ssy and what not, when he could snap everyone's neck on here. I bet those calling him p*ssy and bitch would be the first to claim big time fans if he were in front of them. :oldlol:

Dude is a beast, and ultimately trolled Garnett. Not the other way around. Got under Garnett's skin with the hit across the stomach and dude ended up getting ejected. :oldlol:

KG is a historically underrated ATG who got killed by pisspoor management in his prime but even with that I'll always root against this chickenshit clown. LMAO at his hold me back guys routine. If Howard could have gotten near him to actually fight he would have ran faster than he did against McDyess a decade ago

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Howard didn't get tossed? I remember an incident between GS and LAC from a year or two ago where Blake got tossed for not throwing a punch, but an extended arm towards.. Green's face, I think? Or Bogut. Pretty much exactly what Howard did. They both got tossed in that game.

[Kblaze8855]

I remember the brawl of course...but didnt see that as an on court issue. That was a whole other thing...ill count it I guess...but I mean something like this. If I remember correctly it was just Ben shoving Artest...then a brawl with the fans.

And Melos tap is exactly the kind of non serious punch I was thinking of. NBA players used to brawl....break your jaw...just go to war.

Why throw a lovetap like Melo did? Get ejected for nothing......

If im getting ejected anyway id truck the dude. Whats the risk? 20 guards and players will break it up....you dont fight for real.

Willis Reed was going through whole lineups.

[sodapop]

Who cares. If I want to watch a boxing match, I would watch boxing. I don't want to glorify two grown up millionaires having a cat fight over a simple basketball game. Garnett & Howard are basketball players, not professional fighters.

Post some vids, then.

What did he do against Robinson? McDyess? Peeler? Duncan (this was in 02 after Garnett pushed Parker to the ground)?

He 'starts' things and then runs behind teammates. Call it 'getting into the opponents head' if you want. But I clearly remember him pushing Robinson, who pushed him back, and him chickening out like I've seen no NBA player do before.

But no one other than KG gets singled out like this. He came as close to fighting a guy that is one of the biggest and strongest in the league as anyone comes to fighting anyone these days, threw a ball and delivered a headbutt. But people still react this way. If anything Garnett is guilty of losing his cool and hurting his team. But we see people in this thread talking about how soft he is for getting into a short fight with Dwight Howard. A guy who would murder just about every person trashing KG in this thread.

With McDyess he stuck up for Mark Madsen who caught a cheap shot. Pachulia also weighed more than him. Nazr weighed more than him too. Bogut definitely did. Aldridge weighed more than him. Mozgov talked about avoiding him. Howard... Duncan... I didn't know about Robinson. At least six guys bigger than him. I doubt there is another player that's done it twice?

Nazr is an example of what I'm talking about (kind of, because Nazr actually went at KG).

KG didn't do anything. He pushed him away and held up his hands (waiting for his teammates to come and help him). He had no intent of going at it with a bigger guy.

I don't condone fighting in the NBA at all. But KG does things like that (remember him subtly elbowing Al Jefferson as he walked by him?) and then runs away.

He didn't expect Robinson to react, and when he did he quivered up. He let Peeler make him look like a girl. He let McDyess make him look like one too.

If you're scared of fighting (which he clearly is), don't pretend to be a tough guy. What happened last night is a rare, rare thing for KG, he didn't just throw a cheap shot and run away.

Why does he pull that shit anyway? If he throws cheap shots, initiates aggressive contact, and then puts up his hands and waits for his team to get involved, he just looks like an idiot.

[Wally450]

I've tried defending KG when he does stuff like this when he played for Boston. Saying he was just showing his intensity and getting in other players heads.

Now? Straight up throws the ball at Dwight's head and head butts him. Then when people come to get him off of them he rips their hands off him (which he's done in the past) then says he's good by putting his hands in the air. Then he tries to go back after Dwight. For what?

The dude is straight up crazy now. I feel bad actually seeing him like this. He needs to retire.

KG has always been a punk. Only difference now is he is more willing to go at people his size.

That's my boy KG. Toughest player ever to lace them up.

Howard and his pedophillic, back stabbing, quitting, Christian ass was in shock after that peanut head of his was rocked by Garnett. That punch was about as hard as Timmy when he goes to bed with his 'girlfriend'.

[niko]

By that logic no one is tough. IMO no one in the NBA really wants to fight, the punishments are generally too tough for it to be worth it. But no one other than KG gets singled out like this. He came as close to fighting a guy that is one of the biggest and strongest in the league as anyone comes to fighting anyone these days, threw a ball and delivered a headbutt.

The difference is KG agitates and tries to start fights, but never actually fights. So we know it's an act. He regularly gets credit for being this tough guy, he's a tough basketball player, but all this stuff where he pokes opponents trying to get a reaction is ridiculous. Celtic fans for some reason have married that stupidity to his on court leadership and play, it's not all intertwined, in Minnesota is actually hurt more than helped.

He's been a great on court leader for Nets, he helps the young players, he tries hard even though his body is done. But he's also in some ways kind of a prick, on a team where people hesitate to follow the coach, he takes liberties (he doesn't travel with the team when he's off even though it's a team rule to do so), he doesn't talk to the media after losses, he doesn't really set a good example and if you've seen the Nets, they don't back each other up like a team, they are very mercenary.

I'll never take any on court stuff winning away from Garnett (he's a freaking beast, i always would have taken him on the Knicks). But this insistence that poking someone and running off is the sign of his toughness is something i find stupid.

I find it stupid how you think anyone in the league is going to fight. What do you want him to do? Break a hand on someone's face and get suspended for a year? NOBODY IN THE LEAGUE IS GOING TO FIGHT other than a guy like maybe Artest.

Call every player soft and a p*ssy then, and I have no problem with it.

Tell me how he ran away when he literally escalated an altercation by throwing a ball, headbutting and pushing a guy. He literally put his face on Dwight's face, man he sure seemed scared!

[305Baller]

Honestly, Im so cheap Id rather get punched than pay a quarter mil to smack a player. So I understand the hesitation.

He didn't expect Robinson to react, and when he did he quivered up. He let Peeler make him look like a girl. He let McDyess make him look like one too.

If you're scared of fighting (which he clearly is), don't pretend to be a tough guy. What happened last night is a rare, rare thing for KG, he didn't just throw a cheap shot and run away.

Nobody wants to fight. KG is just looking for a psychological edge. He's intense - if he wants to fight, it happens, but its never turned into anything real. He wants people to be sidetracked. Because his edge is his concentration. He rarely gets ejected, after these incidents KG goes back to playing hyper ball, and the other guy is unfocused and off their game. KG is very relaxed in interviews and has fun. He just goes into obsessed mode. If you ever been around a football team you see the mode a lot - the non steroid intensity is a bit different than the steroid intensity tho.

There is nothing pretentious about KG at all. That is biggest misread you can make in the sport. He does what he wants to do and isn't answering to an image. KG told Noah (a guy you can tell KG respects), "we're not friends." - he's not trying to be a tough guy. KG could have went the tough route when he went to some of the High Schools where they went at him hard. And he wouldn't be going at seven different guys who are bigger than him if he is the type to be scared, that's common sense. He just doesn't give a fluck and never did.

James Johnson would murder both.

[Pointguard]

Why does he pull that shit anyway? If he throws cheap shots, initiates aggressive contact, and then puts up his hands and waits for his team to get involved, he just looks like an idiot.
I think you take it too personal. He knows these players a lot better than you would ever know them. And he's just more hyped than you will ever understand. He's constantly moving, doing things, seeing what works and what doesn't. He's not like and isn't going to try to be regular. He's different.

Fake tough guy as his best.

[boozehound]

The difference is KG agitates and tries to start fights, but never actually fights. So we know it's an act. He regularly gets credit for being this tough guy, he's a tough basketball player, but all this stuff where he pokes opponents trying to get a reaction is ridiculous. Celtic fans for some reason have married that stupidity to his on court leadership and play, it's not all intertwined, in Minnesota is actually hurt more than helped.

He's been a great on court leader for Nets, he helps the young players, he tries hard even though his body is done. But he's also in some ways kind of a prick, on a team where people hesitate to follow the coach, he takes liberties (he doesn't travel with the team when he's off even though it's a team rule to do so), he doesn't talk to the media after losses, he doesn't really set a good example and if you've seen the Nets, they don't back each other up like a team, they are very mercenary.

I'll never take any on court stuff winning away from Garnett (he's a freaking beast, i always would have taken him on the Knicks). But this insistence that poking someone and running off is the sign of his toughness is something i find stupid.
I heard (on the starters) that this is only his 4th suspended game in his career. It's what he does. he agitates (barks at people, fake bites, dry humps the hardwood, down on all fours), but he's always hands up mans up once it starts.


that is ridiculous that this asshole has only ever been suspended for 4 games.

Tattoos don't win fights.

NBA players are not fighters.

Not enough female genitalia for Johnson to fight.

peanut head of his was rocked by Garnett

Tattoos indeed don't win fights. But being a trained fighter since a young man and having actually fought people as willing to fight as he is....

Johnson comes from a clan of warriors. His parents are black belts. He has eight siblings, and they are also all black belts of varying degrees. His youngest sister, about 10 years his junior, is working toward her third degree. He’s a second-degree black belt himself. His first MMA bout came at the age of 18. Johnson was declared the winner after 97 seconds. He’s fought a total of seven MMA matches and is undefeated. He’s 20-0 in all his kickboxing matches.


James Johnson is very much a fighter. If he was allowed to fight, he would probably wreck any NBA player if they didn't have any martial arts training or weren't trained enough.

Take it from someone with a tattoo;

We never win fights. Just look at Duncan.

I'll always remember KG more for being a total scumbag, not a great player.

Picks on small players
Makes fun of people with cancer
Talks about people's wives and then is scared on the confrontation after the game
Said jappy Mother's Day to Tim Duncan when his mother is dead
And he's throwing headbutts when he's 40 years old.

Get this old asshole out of the league already. He's a huge piece of shit.
