    I am growing tired of guys like Garnett acting like idiots trying to intimidate the smallest guys on the court. Tonight it was Calderon.

    Dude is a champion. You gotta respect that. He plays to win.

    ...he's been an "asshole" ever since he entered the league [at least by your definition]

    If they get intimidated, they are stupid pussies. This isn't like football where KG could clock em when they're coming over the middle. KG wouldn't do anything stupid to get a flagrant or ejected. He barks, but he can't bite. When are they gonna realize that it's all an act?

    He's always been a prick! When he was on losing team's he had "a warriors mentality, heart" Now he just comes across as a poor sport. Remember last year when they had the game wrapped us against us in Boston, he started talking shit to LA!

    I've never been a big KG fan. He's very much about the attention and drama within the game. I wish he would shut his mouth, clutch up more often, and learn how to play in the paint.

    He's a champ. You gotta respect that. He took a team from the cellar to the title in ONE SEASON.

    Really? Then how come when he played for Minnesota, they were in the cellar and he couldn't do a thing to help them to the top?

    You don't think the fact he was playing with Ray Allen and PP34 had anything to do with the Celtics winning the title? IMO Kg was 1/5 of the reason the Celtics one the title

    Ummmm... you're wrong about his time in Minny. The cellar??? He won MVP and took them to the conference finals in 2004. They would've won if Cassell hadn't gotten hurt.

    If you think KG was just one fifth of the reason, then you don't know the game of basketball. Paul Pierce was on the Celtics the year before and they only won 24 games. And Ray Allen sucked for most of the playoffs.

    So what? You over hype players to the moon and back (from what i'm reading). I wasn't trying to take a personal shot at you, so why take one at me? KG didn't do too many amazing things in Minn. and to say that he is the sole reason Bos. won the chip is absurd

    Right. He didn't do many amazing things in Minny. He just won MVP. That's all.
    I'm sorry, but you must learn the game, the post.

    Shhhh. I'm sorry, i am very sophisticated NBA fan. I do infact know the game.
    MVP = Championship ring?

    what would you rather have? Brandon Roy win 10 MVPs? Or have the Blazer win the championship once? If you pick the former of the two statements, you are a lousy fan that dwindles too much on idividual acomplishment. Basketball (Which is the "B" in "NBA") is a game involving 5 players. Who cares if KG one the MVP? He brought in the wrong hardware.

    KG HAS A RING. But you said he didn't do ANY "amazing thing" in Minny and that's ridiculous. Winning MVP is SOMETHING. It's not a ring, which must be won by a TEAM and which he DID in Boston.

    Learn the game, then post.

    You said earlier that he is the reason the Celtics one the title.... but now you say it takes a team to win? hmm... team: 5 players. KG is one of the five: 1/5. Making him 1/5 of the reason they won!

    Pick your stance on the argument, "then post"

    So many things wrong in your post. You can't even spell "won."
