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.

for me its hard to respect someone who shows little respect to others who love the game too.

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
 
"taunting fouls" are the lamest ever. the NBA isn't a bunch of sissies. let them play the game

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."

do you even think before you type? what was he before last season? was he an a-hole then, before he was a "champ"? just cause you win doesn't mean you get a free pass.

and i think, RayRay, Paul, and the rest of the celts would disagree that he took them from the cellar. he was one part of that championship.
 
Other people who've won championships that are of dubious character (some are just funny...some might be @$$holes)...

Mike Tyson
Nick Saban
Mark Madsen
Tony Stewart
Pete Rose
Roger Clemens
(I don't know enough about NHL...but I'm sure there've been @$$hole goons on each championship squad)
I could go on, but I'm getting bored. A championship does not a respectable person make. And you say KG won MVP and would've won a title if his helper was healthy, but that he didn't need help in Boston?

True.

Koby won multiple championships and people hate on him. KG does try to act the thug a lot and that turns me off but he is a great player. Koby too. Both facts are not exclusive.

I like how Calderon got an assist with Garnett gaurding him tightly. It amazes me that he still had the court vision to make that pass even with a big 7 footer on him
 
He got into the head of his opponent, and was probably the reason they won the game.
 
Clapping and yelling at players when they are shooting is lame. Taunting players like Garnett did... even worse. Talking smack I am fine with... getting pumped off... np, Shaq does the same type of stuff... most stars do... but Garnett clapping in his face, the league would have a hard time explaining how that wasn't a T. It DEFINITELY would be on the road.
 
Calderon is legit. He made KG lose his composure.

I agree, I mean to me that stuff isn't too serious cause you know in streetball you see people do it all the time, but with the NBA the way its been lately and how it doesnt take much to warrant a T these days, I was surprised the refs didn't call the T to settle him down or anything.

Bad grammar on my part lol

We have to respect him because he won a ring? Heck No! Guy is an ass, period.

If he were a serial rapist who walked, would you say "gotta respect his skills, and he got away with it too, awesome dude!"?

Of course not. Having skills, even other-worldly-like skills, does not make up for being a complete jerk.

It is silly to debate Garnett's importance to winning a championship, it is immaterial. He is not a good person.
That's what the original poster said, and he's right.
