The Detroit Pistons' Charlie Villanueva and Boston Celtics' Kevin Garnett were whistled for technical fouls at the same point in the third quarter of Tuesday night's game. Early Wednesday, Villanueva apparently took his dispute with Garnett to Twitter. Michigan Live
Villanueva: “KG talks a lot of crap. He's probably never been in a fight. I would love to get in a ring with him, I will expose him.” Michigan Live
Then, about 20 minutes later: “KG called me a cancer patient. I'm pissed because you know how many people died from cancer, and he's tossing it like it's a joke.” Michigan Live

I gotta say.....look at CV, I could crack jokes on the guy for 24 hours straight without going Cancer on him. KG must not have the mental capacity to know what is over the line. What.....if somebody's mom dies is the idiot going to crack jokes on that too. I wish this was the old NBA, KG would get his Azz kicked....CV would have lit him up!!!!! I'd pay money to see that!!!!
I think there's probably a lot of players in the league who are upset with Charlie. I'm not condoning what KG said but I think most players probably look at something like that and think it should have been handled without the use of media. Like DKLaker said, it could have been a confrontation on the court. Or he could have simply made a phone call after the game. Nonetheless, we know trash talking goes on a lot in the NBA. Even back in the day with Jordan, Bird, Reggie, Payton, etc, etc.

well, there was a confrontation on the court and they both got Ts. I have no problem with CV calling him out semi-publicly, as KG and others are obviously embarrassed by it. Draws attention to it in a way that calling him or waiting outside the locker room would not.
Charlie Villanueva furious with Kevin Garnett
