Kevin Garnett Is Back (And Still Douchey)

douche bag indeed...kg is not only a douche bag pansy, but he probably is the most hated by nba players. you would think that all that losing in minny and finally winning a championship would result to humility...normally it would, but not when you're a celtic...the douchiest franchise in the nba...stay classy boston...nevermind. it's too late...

kellex is a Blazers fan and talking smack about the C's... Zoner, KG HAS been this way his whole career and his intensity is (a) what has made him as popular and prosperous as he has been since being taken straight out of high school (just now people notice because he is on a team people pay attention to) and (b) one of the main factors in the Celtics 2007 title run.

If KG's 'tude = douchey = NBA Title... I'll take it.

TD- I actually watched him here in Chicago in high school, probably before you were born. The KG in Minny was as intense as he is now, but didn't have that douchey side effect. You can go back to hugging his nuts now.

Uhh...I've seen KG bark at David West (6'10, 245), and Zaza Pachulia (7'1", 290).....they are Kinda Big.......

I watched KG for years in Minnesota and no he was never this big of a douche. Hes always played with intensity, but now that hes on a good team he has taken upon himself to become the biggest douche in the NBA. Noticed how he only picks on euro players and small guards. That makes him a pussy as well.

sooooo... obviously you started watching basketball around ehhhh the 2007-2008 season when kg was traded to the celtics? all this "what happened to you kg" stuff is ridiculous....all the things you hate on him for, he's been doing his whole career...yes WHOLE career...please do a little bit better as a "journalist" and RESEARCH before you post?

that is all,

concerned (for your credibility) reader.

ps - all teams in the nba have "back to backs" on their schedule, stop making excuses....clown.

awwww, poor bulls on a back-to-back :( yea, garnett should just relax, its not like hes being paid millions of dollars to play basketball. why does he take it so seriously?? and your boy joakim, he's a little intense too. ughhhh, what is up with these nba players and their "intensity." it's like, come on. stop playing the game with that intensity and heart and start goofing off a little. that's how MJ won his six titles, by not taking basketball seriously. ask any of the greats. silliness=rings. so stop being a douche KG and start losing. i'm sure we'd all rather watch every single NBA game being played like the crappy Allstar game.

James-

Garnett has a documented history of getting into it with smaller players and backing away from the bigs. Look into it.

I've never said he wssn't intense and I said he is a HOFer. But you can be intense and dominate without being a douche. Kobe, A.I., Olajuwon even LeBron play with intensity. They just don't act like douches.

I'm not crying. I'm pointing out the difference between intensity and being a douchebag.

Hilarious and totally true. I respect KG and his game but he is indeed a douche. Look no further than his "intensity" from last year, pathetically mean-mugging Chicago from the bench in his Carlton/Urkel gear. Annoying.

The "douchiness" you speak of, that's called intensity. I'm not a Celtics fan, never have been, nor ever will be. However, this little rant is so retarded it required being mocked.

Just because it's the first quarter of the third game you feel he needs to relax? You understand this is a competitive sport, correct? Oh, and poor Derrick Rose got leered at, but he's a nice guy! KG shouldn't do that to a nice guy! Could you please cry more.

The more I read over this, the worse it gets. Considering you're calling KG a douche for mouthing off, perhaps we should call this the Douche Blog, as it's exactly what you are doing to KG. By the way, it was only the third game of the season...relax!

I'm a Raps fan and I'd trade our entire front line for Garnett. Garnett does not quit. After you've suffered through Vince Carter, you realize that you'll put up with almost anything to have a player who actually cares about winning basketball games.

he's not saying he didn't have heart in minnesota but as a celts fan that watched them suck for 20 years it's easy to say he's the heart of the team look at how the celts played without him in the playoffs taken to 7 games by the bulls but with him they destroyed the bulls the other night now he's only a douche because he's not on your team it's the same with every player in sports if he's your guy he rocks if not he's a douche

I'm so sick of hearing that he has "heart" from Celtics fans. There is definitely a line and so you Celtics tools understand, he was NOT like this before Boston. Maybe winning drives people to full on douchness, but he actually did play with heart back in Minnesota.

No I wouldn't. Intensity and douchiness are not mutually exclusive.

Um, you do realize that Kevin Garnett has been this intense his WHOLE career, right? The only time you notice this is when he's in one of the greatest teams in the NBA.

His "douchiness" gives his team the adrenaline and intensity to kick the Chicago Bulls' asses last night.

If KG was in the Chicago Bulls and he was this intense with your team, you would respect him and say he has a lot of heart. But because he's part of the Celtics and the C's are whooping everyone's ass so far, you are jealous and decide to bash KG for his "douchy" ways.
