Kevin Garnett

He's the 6th grader who can only pick on 4th graders and below.

Does anyone think rondo acts tough due to kgs influence?

Wasn't he drafted by the suns?

yeah rondo's taken the "jack yourself off after every win" route to establishing a persona too i believe. full of arrogance and a false sense of invincibility. respect his game, but not a fan of him in any other way.

Yep. Played too much D so Mikey D said GTFO.

Yep, reverse the roles and Garnett cops heat for trash talking an injured player.

But you're never going to win this argument, and it's probably fair enough. KG has given too many reasons to hate him over his career, and no matter how good he is or was on the court (and completely incident free off it), he will always be called a punk, jackass, and what ever else. Because I guess he is, but I don't think he's a 'dirty' player. He doesn't angle to injure opponents during play, like sticking his leg under a guy coming down from a rebound, or stuff like that (same with Rondo, I wouldn't call him a 'dirty' player, he's just a bit of a punk with a mean streak).

Maybe I just never noticed it, but I don't remember any "dirty player" criticisms of Garnett being bandied about when he played for Minnesota.

Wasn't Rondo traded on draft night? He probably barely got the chance to put a Phoenix Suns cap on his head, let alone meet Mike D'Antoni

that's the whole point i think: how much he's changed since being at Boston

Yea but there's posts in this thread saying things like "KG has given too many reasons to hate him over his career" (Vegas 15), as though it's been a career-long pattern with Garnett.

Someone re-post the menacing bounce video for Damon, please.

Well there has only been one 'dirty player' comment at Boston, and IMO it's unjustifed.

He has however been a 'jackass' all of his career, with just as many incidents occurring in Sota as Boston. The Peeler shit, hitting team mates, etc.

Yeah I was going to but it's been taken down from YouTube.

Long term jack ass, but since finding himself on a good team, he's found the ability to be more of a jackass more regularly.

I was being jocular brother.
