Lol "chicklets" ... Lmao, between the comments on that KG video both in this forum and on the video itself, and the above post i'm dying this morning...
LOL, Blazers will come to Boston, get their ass handed to them and go home having 'learned something in defeat' or whatever And the Blazers bigs can go after KG all you want, he'll drink your milkshake while Perk sends your weaksauce shots back down the court
Yes, a Celtics win is overwhelmingly likely, but Blazers have been pretty good ball lately, so I could see them pulling this off.
oh yeah, they Blazers are looking real good this year and I hope they win tons of games.. .just not on Friday and this hate of KG.. LOL never heard hardly jack against the dude in Minny save for his inability to carry the team deep into the playoffs. All of the sudden he's overzealous and too intense and whatever else ppl are saying about him now that he's a winner... but KG is just being who he is and always has been IMO.
You must have never paid enough attention being an east coaster and all - but he was an ass there as well.
KG has been the same piece of shit his whole basketball career, dating back to Farragut HS, when Ronnie Fields was better than him. Always talks shit to people smaller than him and younger than him. Oden and LMA need to stay in his face if he gets up in it, don't shy away. Show him you aren't scared of his fake ass routine. My guess is he talks the most to Batum. Skinny, young foreign guy. Perfect target for KG's bitch routine.
Maybe Ronnie should have followed KG's lead: Fields also suited up as an import in the Philippine Basketball Association for the Tanduay Rhum Masters. He has also played in Venezuela, Turkey, Lebanon and Greece. In November of 2008 Ronnie returned to play basketball in the CBA for the Minot SkyRockets, signing as a backup point guard and making $5300 per month. He had previously spent four seasons with the Rockford Lightning as the team' starting guard. Ronnie Fields = Billy Ray Bates without an outside shot.
$5,300 a month is pretty good to play basketball. In the CBA, the team takes care of your travel and living expenses completely.
Fields was in a serious car wreck that ruined his playing career. Doesn't change the fact that he was better than Garnett in HS. What exactly was your point?
Nah, KG's always been a trash-talking punk b!tch. Think's he's Gary Payton, Jr. Don't get me wrong, it seems to work for him. But he's not an "enforcer" like Oakley or Salley or HoGrant. He's a smack-talker. And bringing up "hate him b/c he's a winner" is laughable. He's been like that for almost 10 years. Look at how he acted last year in the POR/BOS game...dude hadn't won anything yet. But there he was, barking and getting in people's faces. Lamar Odom does the same thing.
I agree he's always acted the same way, but this year and last there are more ppl (not just in the Blazers forums) talking about it and how much they hate it etc, etc when before it was more respected/ less criticized because he was a loser trying hard to win. It's all about perception. I see nothing wrong with what he does because it works at times and it's not like he's the only shit talker in the league either. He's also able to back up his shit talking as he's one of the top 10 players of this decade.
I think you see more complaints not out of jealousy, but primarily because he is on TV all the time, so the more casual fans are getting exposed to it as well, but most fans who have seen him throughout the years know he has always been this way, and have complained about it. Just gets more publicized as he gets better, so more people are exposed to it.
mmm possibly, all I ever saw the times he was on tv was an intense player who was a tad overly dramatic who couldn't or wouldn't deliver when the game was on the line. which works fine in Boston because Paul or Ray are more than willing to take that shot.
Then how come no one had a problem with him while he played in Minnesota? In 2004 when he won MVP nobody called him trash talking bitch, they called him a great player. But then KG goes to Boston, wins a championship, and now he's an instigator and a bully. Because people hate the winner.
KG was a great player than and he still is now - it does not change the fact that he is an instigator and a bully - the two are not mutually exclusive.
Well, in Boston they are always in the headlines, always on sportscenter, always on national TV including 4 series in the playoffs, etc... So its probably more apparent. He was still a trash talker in Minnesota, but he wasn't called out as much as he is now for sure.
