Did you guys see Garnett throw that elbow after Outlaw posterized him? It was in the last minute of the game. THEN he throws a 'bow on the other end of the court at LMA!!! PUNK BITCH! How long until we get that kind of freedom on the court?
Email the Blazers to send the videotape to the league office. One off these days, they'll deal with Garnett's bullshit.
This is one of the downsides to having a team of choir boys. One good elbow to the adam's apple, and KG won't pull that crap anymore. Where is Kermit Washington when we really need him?
Forget Kermit. For the next game against Boston, bring #20 down from the rafters and let Luke wear it one more game. KG will shut his trap after 30 seconds of dealing with The Enforcer.
KG. Punk. Bitch. KG. The Roach. KG. Overrated. Damn, I'm off on the haiku. KG's shit is as weak as my poetry. Very cheap and soft.
What I find even worse is that the refs appear to be afraid of him. I used to think KG was alright. Can't stand him now.
it's crazy how quick people turn on players as soon as they win something. Before he played for the Celtics KG was just known as being emotional and a great player being labeled as underrated....once someone reaches a certain height it's natural that poeple want to beat them back down. True he's pulling out the elbows...but when has he not? He's not the only one...I'm sure if you watched enough tape, even the "cleanest" players undercut rules sometimes. People rag on him for talking smack to small players...hell, he's been talking smack for the longest time....to all players...that's just part of the game...if you can get a mental edge just by calling names more power to ya. True you can just play physical right back....but it won't shut him up. He's vetran and he'll just get up and go right back at it again. I know I'm gonna get a collective target put on my back now from everyone on this thread since I seem to be the only one against the grain...lol. I just think it's pretty bad that KG is now so harshly labeled...on a dirtiness level MJ was as big a trash talker as it gets and he did plenty of pulling, pushing and elbows....does that make him a "scumbag"? I'm just saying...this is a sport...very competitive...and although I don't condone that stuff....it's part of the game...your in it to win it...everyone toes the line and gets away with what they can...it does seem wrong that vets seem to get away with more...but it's nothing new...and it will continue to go on long after KG is gone. All I'm saying is, sure you can dislike him for throwing elbows and the like, but to call him overrated and a scumbag player is rather harsh...contrary to what many on here might say...KG is a top 50 player and is a future Hall of Famer...
It's not the trash talking. KG started the game by getting a huge pile of talc/rosin on his hands, then going to the announcers table and blowing the powder all over the table. No reason for that crap. KG was throwing elbows all game. The guy is a POS, and the Blazers should send Joel out to clock him at the start of the game to loosen up a few of his teeth.
Because Jordan did it. Now others want to emulate him. He had a running thing going with Johnny Red Kerr back in the day, and would always clap the powder in his face as a joke. Complaining about KG doing that is just nitpicking. As for only complaining about him now that he has won, I dunno about others, I have hated the guy for about as long as he has been "good". Meaning, he was good his rookie year, but when he started to get recognized, it was obvious how much of a tread he was. I think you hear more about it now because he has been on so many commercials and televised games in the last year and a half that more and more of the casual fans are starting to notice as well.
Do you mean that before or after Maurice is carried out on a stretcher, because his body gave out on him?
I don't think he's overrated. He's a great forward. I don't think he's a scumbag either, he's a punk bitch. He fouled Outlaw and then tried to chicken wing him right after the dunk. That's not going for a board or trying to get post position. It's a cheap shot.
I've always really liked Garnett. Sure, he's an arrogant prick, but the great ones often are. The guy is an amazing defender, and good passer, a great rebounder, an emotional leader....I'd love to have him on my team. If KG can go on to win one or two more championships, the debate of who is the best PF of all time (Duncan or Malone) is going to get even more complicated. Funny that Aldridge is getting praise in both the article and this thread for being more like KG. Yet somehow KG is evil, and Aldridge isn't.
Wow...I'm glad I'm not the only one here defending him as a great player...lol...it gets awful hot here in hell...lol
