Please name one thing that Bosh is better at than KG. KG is a better shooter, perimeter defender, low post defender, offensive rebounder, defensive rebounder, perimeter scorer, low post scorer, passer, and dribbler not to mention his bball iq is about ten times as high. And who has KG punched? Rick freakin Rickert, the punk left college way too early, and thought he was gonna be a big shot, so KG took him down a few pegs, no biggie.
Im pretty sure KG's bball IQ is higher because he's been in the NBA way longer, nt tho no need to get over protective over a simple comparison, bosh may not be better and may never be, u afraid of him or something?
The amount of time you spend in the NBA has nothing to do with your basketball IQ. That's why you see people like Tim Thomas, who's been in the league for what, a decade, and is a complete moron. Then you see people like Chris Paul and LeBron James with amazingly high IQs and have barely been in the league.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Moo2K4:</div><div class="quote_post">The amount of time you spend in the NBA has nothing to do with your basketball IQ. </div>I wouldnt say that it has nothing to do with your basketball IQ because it does. Its just that some players come into the league with higher IQs than others but they usually progress as the sesaons goes on and begin limiting those "rookie mistakes". But you are right in the sense that some players are and will always be stupid.

I'll list two things 1. Not punching teammates 2. Getting to the FT line (Bosh had 78 more attempts in fewer games than KG) He is also slightly ahead in ppg, slightly ahead in offensive boards per game. Can you not admit that Bosh might be better than KG at something? lol, how about Chess? Go Fish? Bowling? Ball-room dancing? KG punched Rick Rickert I think KG also punched Wally during a practice/workout. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Rickert punching, repairs for which reportedly required stitches, is officially the MVP's second attack on a teammate. K.G. has previously punched Wally Szczerbiak, reportedly while he was in a prone position. Those who buy into K.G.'s good-guy image have to wonder why he has a tendency to act like an insecure bully when there are no TV cameras around. The answer is obvious: K.G.'s image portrays something he's not. Some are dedicated into building him into someone who couldn't possibly need anger management.</div> http://blazers.blogs.oregonlive.com/defaul...nth=9&year=2004 <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In November 2000, Garnett punched teammate Wally Szczerbiak in the head following an argument.</div> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...-2004Aug31.html http://www.sportscurmudgeon.com/archives/sc865.html http://fanzone.msgnetwork.com/ubbthreads/s...044&Main=727203 I'm not going to argue this much further, it's not that important.

Nice research.
Sacramento Kings will perform much better this year than they did last year. If it wasn't for Ron Artest we wouldn't have even made the playoffs last year. Ever since he came on the team, hes helped the team so much on defense and smart plays.. hes got such a high basketball iq.. we were finally on a winning streak of the top 3 best teams in the nba when he came on the team.. But also, we'll see some more minutes on Kevin Martin.. and in my opinion i think he'll be really good.
Bobcats Magic <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">^alright, i was talking about important things directly involved with skill.</div> Sportsmanship is a skill.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Pakman:</div><div class="quote_post">Bobcats Magic Sportsmanship is a skill.</div> how is he unsportsmanlike? Punching a teammate has nothing to do with sportsmanship. Both of those cases were pretty understandable as well. Rickert was being cocky (from what i heard) and wally and him had been disgrunted for a while.
lol, punching a teammate has everything to do with sportsmanship. So what if Rickert was being cocky? If he played well enough, he has every right to taunt/be arrogant without being punched. Both times Garnett should have taken the higher road and been a leader, instead of stooping down to their level and making the situation worse. So, in terms of leadership and sportsmanship, I would give the edge to Bosh over KG. Obviously, that doesn't mean I think CB4's better than him, though.

I don't care if they're being a niusance to you, but when you're the leader of the team, punching a teammate isn't the best way to make an impression on someone, outside of a negative one. Who cares if he's being cocky, let him. And just cause you're angry and disgruntled about a teammate, you don't have to punch them. Talk it out, something non-violent. And punching, by all means, is completely unsportsmanlike, even if it is you're own teammate. It's very unprofessional to punch someone, unless of course you're in UFC, boxing, WWE, or something along those lines. But when it's basketball, punching pretty much crosses the line and becomes unsportsmanlike. I don't care how far you were pushed, punching is never something you should have to do.
Im not saying in any way that what he did was ok. I'm just saying that it's not like he just punched them for no reason whatsoever. When has KG ever been unsportsmanlike? I really dont see the relationship. When Artest went into the crowd, he wasnt being unsportsmanlike imo. Sportsmanship is related to the other team imo.
