Maurice Lucas had come from a time in the NBA when a man with the act and mouth of Kevin Garnett(notes) had to back it up with his fists. He was paid to take on the biggest, strongest player in the sport, protect the superstars. Lucas never walked onto the floor and eyed the most vulnerable and frightened foe. He picked out the biggest bleeping guy, started on him, and no one ever had reason to doubt his ferocity.

Here was a “cancer patient,” as apparently K.G. likes to call them. Lucas died this week. He was 58 and lost his life to bladder cancer. Apparently, Garnett honored that memory with the mocking of the Detroit Pistons’ bald forward, Charlie Villanueva(notes), on Tuesday night. Garnett’s always gone too far, but never like this. Never this cruel, this twisted.

With the way the NBA throws around fines and suspensions, the days when Villanueva could’ve handled the matter on the floor are long gone. This is a truth that’s never been lost on Garnett. Trash talk goes back forever in the NBA, gets deep, personal, and yet this was a different kind of affront. The Pistons are 0-4 and Villanueva has done little to earn the $35 million contract delivered him a year ago. To say Charlie V. should shut up, win a game and stop tweeting, well, that’s a different discussion.

For all the instances of Garnett’s bullying available on YouTube, those two words – “cancer patient” – will never go away. This is the one that people will remember, the stain that’ll be hardest to wash away. Garnett’s 34 years old, and shamefully a man too smart – too principled in a lot of ways – to act like this. Only, he’s done it for years, and it’s now a bigger part of his legacy than an old Boston Celtics champion will want to believe.

The NBA lost one of its true tough guys this week, a cancer patient named Maurice Lucas. He came out of a different time in the NBA, and never talked like Kevin Garnett. There was never a need. He had to back it up, the way K.G. never has and never will. The true tough guys never have to tell you about it.

Charlie Villanueva is apparently the most credible person on earth
 
I forgot you guys know these players personally. Michael Wilbon talked about knowing KG for 15 years, and he doubted it happened. But of course, you guys know better than him.

I don't give a shit about Michael Wilbon's opinion, since he wasn't on the court either, and Garnett, at the very least, looks like he had somebody else concoct some story in which admits to talking trash about cancer.

I have literally seen Garnett get down on all 4s and bark like a dog at a Blazer player, though, and I've seen him throw elbows at the heads of Travis Outlaw and LaMarcus Aldridge. I wouldn't put anything past that clown. He's a great basketball player, but a complete asshole who is now trying to wiggle his way out of the public shaming he deserves.

Give me a break. We saw him barking like a dog at Bayless, we saw him go at Calderon - one does not need to be a professional ass-kisser to the stars to get a pretty good idea about the way KG acts on the floor... and the hoity toity professorial act is a bunch of nonsense. Dude runs away from real confrontation as he always does.
 
Doc Rivers is risking his reputation on behalf of an obvious lying scumbag

Yeah, those things are exactly like calling somebody with that kind of disease a cancer patient.

KG's been a punk long before this incident. His reputation precedes him. Anthony Peeler was one of the few that didn't like his shit talking and caught him with a nice bow. Those guys were teammates for years in Minnesota. KG is playing in the league 20 years too late, his act would have straightened out with a couple knuckle sandwiches back when the NBA wasn't this watered down version of pussyball.

I worked security for 5 years at the RG. I've came across Garnett many times. The guy is a fuckin prick.

Doc Rivers is defending his player. Plus, was he running next to Garnett on the court the entire game to get the scoop on all of Garnett's trash talking?

What a fucking joke.

Come on. Tell me you would not love it if LA was punking Blake Griffin or Batum punking Durant.

If by "punking him" you mean outplaying him, then of course.

If by "punking him" you mean revealing your IQ is a lower number than the one on your uni, wll...not so much.

lol I don't care what you guys think. I would hate him too if I were you. I'm not dumb enough to think I can make him a beloved figure in Rip City

Three pages later, as you continue to argue, I'm having my doubts..

Rather than a public shaming, I suggest a public shamming of his mouth.

Where's that Sham Wow! guy?

Even Sheed had boundaries for his trash talking:

I'd love to be able to hear the stuff on your link, but the site has the most fucking annoying anime ad at the bottom of the page going on at a volume that drowns it out.

I hope/trust the mods/admins address this soon as it's over the top

STOMP
 
uhm, you are, though, by sticking up for him, just because of the uniform he wears.

So giving my opinion means I'm trying to change everybody else's. Makes sense.

Nah. I just see you as a blind homer defending an asshole that plays for your favorite team. You're certainly not going to change my view on Garnett, but I understand where you are coming from in this thread.
