Kevin Garnett's Antics - Jalen Rose discusses on ESPN

[vexed334]

If Garnett played in the 80s or even 90s we wouldn't be having these conversations. Fact of the matter is Garnett is a Hall of Famer and plays the game his way and play hard EVERY single night EVERY single game ALL the time.

[crazywolf175]

Calderon take out KG what the fuck.

[GTR24]

All these new NBA fans butt hurt over some trash talking. It shows who really has mental toughness and who is sensitive and mentally weak

[Xcoming2]

at least garrnet can back it up

[FuckUtube4Life2010]

what the hell is getting his knees and slapping the floor supposed to indicate? unless i'm missing something, i can think of a lot more clever ways to insult a player.

[WorldOfSnakes]

@FuckUtube4Life2010 He wasn't insulting anyone. That's what some people don't get. What Garnett did and what he always does is just some mental warfare going on, he tries to get in the other players' heads and it works. Trash talking or whatever he does, it's part of basketball and it's mental warfare, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's american basketball culture.

[ispeakthetruthalways]

rain rain go away make these haters go away

[gsxrboi1000]

i will say garnett will try his best to get in your head.. lol

[pakiunit89]

Selective or picks on pg and sgs? Hes a bitch!

[Trapordie27272727]

Celtics all the way

[MARIN503]

All i got to say is if theres a guy trash talking and refs arent doing anything. im not saying to hurt him or nothing but have one of the bigs play physical. but now a days in the NBA your not really allowed to get that physical with anybody who is a star in the league cuz they will be shooting foul shots all night long

[orensampemati]

cmon, MJ and barkley trash talk all the time. today's ballers are pussies who cant handle trash talking, which is part of the game. KG and tim duncan used to trash talk to each other big time, but it stays on the court. when they meet at all-star weekend, its all good. same goes to MJ and chuck. cmon, man up.

[Cull23skicougar]

Plain and simple, If everyone's complaining about his "mind games" and "taunting tactics", then they must be working.

[R18SEDAN]

As KG said "If they cant handle it they should get off the court".. What a bunch of CRYBABIES!!!

[jayswivlezz]

K.G is a mind game player. get over it already. bunch of little girls whining about someone taunting.

[hitmancoolio]

NBA- No Boys Allowed.

Man up.

[Cuff31015]

@hitmancoolio Is a lil fairness too hard/much to ask for doe? if Ron Artest or Iverson or basically ANYBODY else dd the BS that KG gets away with...They'd be Ejected/Hit wit Technicals/Fined/Suspended...A­ll Of the Above...dats all

And if they come down court and take his ass out....they gettin wit Flagrants....why he can get away with it and nobody else can?

And he damn show aint the "Man"....when somebody responds to his lil "Antics" and CHECKS his ass....he quick to back down and look stupid

[retrotw]

...Garnett <or= to Duncan....BUT both of them are way better than Pau Gasol...dont compare Pau to them.....please guys...dont embarrass yourselves....

[FOR3FOWTY]

Garnett is selectively a BITCH..<Duncan-Gasol

[2IAN4]

Garnett is very selective. lol

a subtle way of saying this Retard picks his fight safel!

Trying doing that to kobe and he'll hit you a three pointer in your face without even taking a single dribble nigga..

[HPhenomenal]

where's kg now? think he's playing golf somewhere.

[hefalumpkin]

KG is the dirtiest player in the NBA since Bowen left.

[businessbmw]

if by dirty you mean awesome than i agree! Go Celtics.

[blackezi3]

@businessbmw Exactly, its a man's game. Thats why i LOVE Garnett

[businessbmw]

KG was my favorite player when he was playing for Minny, than i heard we traded for him and that was surreal! Great trade value trade.

[FOR3FOWTY]

@hefalumpkin PETITION FOR KG NOT TO BE AN ALLSTAR!

SPREAD THE WORD!!!

[DUNKDAEXCESS]

He's just trying to syke out his opponents.

[slashergnr482]

...because Micheal Jordan didnt taunt at all right? he didnt go to the free throw line, tell the opposing teams center that he,s gonna shoot this foul with his eyes clows to make him look like a bitch, or anything like that right? fuck off kids, Larry Bird was notorious for doing shit like this as well, and its all just to piss you off and throw your game off. its part of the game.

[TimTehrawr]

Jalen Rose is just butthurt that KG is way better than he ever was.

[Manbeast222]

Kevin Garnett tends to pick on players weaker and smaller than himself...Can I get a PUSSY anyone?

[wegotmorrison]

@Manbeast222

No, but you can get a CHAMPION and NBA Hall of famer.

[Manbeast222]

@wegotmorrison How does that have anything to do with what I said? It doesn't change the fact that he's a wuss. I'd like to see him do the same thing with Shaq, Yao, Jermaine, Amare, or even Kenyon. You know what? KG IS smart, because he realizes that most of the NBA would kick his skinny ass.

[Jsuch85]

@Manbeast222 Cmon man...really? He has respect for Shaq and probably Amare too, but you mean to tell me YAO and Jermaine are gonna do something? Get really. They SOFT! Real Soft. Jermaine would probably just hurt himself anyway...and Yao is too damn nice for his own good.

[Antimatter050]

I always liked Kevin Garnett, and he was always kind of agressive to other players, like that video when he slapped Tim Duncan on the head. HA Ha lol! And I don't think he is being overboard, he just likes the competition and most of those games where their has being agressive play and jawin have been entertaining and competitive.

[Junior517]

garnett is a pussy.

[PoppinNeS]

KG is passionate and he's cerebral, he gets in people heads, and at 6"11 dude is already imposing, once he's in their head and he snaps on the post D it's game, he's smart, people hate him cause he's not girly, he mans up

[andreselloco100]

@PoppinNeS

I Hear that im tired of KG haterz

[zigzagzig40]

Piotrasdabadman what you just said is racist...you lead an Estern European like your father to water but you can't stop him polluting it how does that feel????

[Tylertbon]

Ya man I'm so sick of those god damn polluting eastern european bastards.. way to go man you showed him. Polluting is so 2009 those eastern europeans are like the only ones still doing it. What morons.

[kingkarson]

jalen rose one of the key members of the Fab Five at Michigan that started chest pounding collar popping and showing up the opponent is gonna tell KG hes doing wrong...the definition of hypocracy

[weaverb1227]

he was in college but kg is a man

[kingkarson]

doesnt make a difference cant call someone out for something you do to college or not i dont mind Jalen for being critical of KG its his job on TV...but he should hav said i looked like a jerk 4 doin this and i dont think KG should do it... not just rip him 4 20 secs

[slickcrack]

allen iverson fined $25,000!!!!

[Piotrasdabadman91]

u can take KG out of the jungle but u cant take the jungle out of him. disgrace

[Mobal22]

show me someone who has more passion for the game...argument over. KG FOREVER, MVP, ALLSTAR, HALL OF FAME here we come baby!

[RSB0171717]

kevin garnett is the softest big man in the league he fuckin was picking on jerryd bayless and joes calderon lol

[nopp0x00]

Yeah, I'm sure you're a fan of the game, and not just another knuckle-dragging racist inbred trolling moron.

[bigredswims]

Garnett's a faggot, and his antics are his way of dealing with his deep-rooted insecurities.

[TheseOpenRoads]

your an ignorant ass hole.

[CPR123parker]

bottom line is that kg deserves respect and when he feels like he's not getting that respect he's going to let you know and mess your phyche up

[jespacey]

Anybody who don't show respect to others don't deserve any amount of respect back.

[iJuice08]

Getting in the head(s) of your opponent(s) is one of the key ways to win a basketball game, or any game for that matter. You don't win games by being nice and friendly, you have to be aggressive.

[Antimatter050]

@iJuice08 Yeah and it got him a championship....He is more agressive than before, wihch players like Anthony peeler or Rasheed Wallace got to him, but he is letting people know now that nothing is getting in his way of getting what he wants( also @FreshPrinceof973)

[BianZeE]

KG is the greatest player that ever lived.... kobe is a great player but comparing the two garnett wins in every category....

KG taunts players that he knows cant take it... its all mind games... he knows kobe wont freak out if he taunts him, thats why kg does not do that to the lakers.... so stop complaining and man up...

Zaza and Calderon combined cant take on KG..

[sleepdog06]

what are you smoking?

[Paniro123]

This is the type of thing that you only like on your team. EVERYONE thats complaining would love to have KG on their team. And he doesnt only talk trash to certain players, its these situations that get the spotlight because theyre not his size but trust me no one is spared. And people do need to stop bitching these are MEN playing they dont have to act like friends. Thats worse because its fake and frankly it just isnt entertaining.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

the frustration only reflects how easy they're allowing kg to get in their head. ignore it and play harder or simply give a cheap shot, away from the ball.

[suliman310]

hey fresh prince it is a mans sport but KG is a bitch he only talks shiit to people smaller than him and that are not black...he never talks shiit against the lakers cuz he knows what will happen, never against the cavs or magic. i wanna see him start some shiit with people like ron artest, stephen jackson, jr smith, nate robinson,, he cant only to people smaller than him and thats what makes him a bitch

if he was doin it to people the same size of him it would be watever

[yetanothersign]

"he never talks shit against the lakers cuz he knows what will happen"

You mean 131-92?

[suliman310]

no i think i mean being the best player on ur team. hes not even that with the c's if he was he would of got that finals mvp trophy ya knoow the one that kobe has or he would of got 4 rings u know how many kobe has i think thats excatly what i mean ron artest will whipp on kgs ass he's been doing it to paul pierce for a while now boston buncha bitchess fuck sheed allen pierce and garnnet we got kobe odom gasol artest bynum tell me which one would u rather have we'll see wassup this year

[yellowcarbb]

no, it will be 2 wins and one without andrew bynum.

and in the lakers' game vs the celtics last season at boston, Odom taunted KG and Kg got in his face. What did he do after that? He just walked away, and no other laker was there.

I agree with suliman310. KG threatens small white guys. But never black guys, especially his size. Last time he tried that, Anthony Peeler elbowed him in the chin.

[jespacey]

Right on the money! haha!

[ayill04]

And he never taunted Anthony Peeler again after that... That's how CHICKEN he is...

[otyarzotm]

the celtics are a bunch of punkass bitches

was hoping zaza would knock kg the fuck out a year ago, we the only team that can outpunk the celtics, see u in the playoffs boston, zaza will punk kgs bitchass again and do him all dirty

[Gman1818]

the Celtics intimidate their opponents and that gets em victories.. so stop fuckin crying.. fans get so butt hurt over players not being best friends on the court

[greatballer23]

this is the first video by jalen where i actually agree with him

[Shlumpledink]

Uncalled for, i dont know how anyone can argue how this is warranted somehow. If someone did this to anyone on your team you'd be calling for their head. Someone does this to you on the court and a fight is more than likely to break out, which is why it doesn't happen more. kg is not the first guy to play with his emotions so dont give me that, and hes not the last guy or only guy in the nba that plays on emotion. Yet he's the only guy to disrespect someone like this.

[et32]

nickflit,

i love to argue that kevin garnett is better

than duncan, but dont come with ur little shyt jokes, just a simple conversation, spit straight facts and shyt, seen

[et32]

u guys dont play ball so dont just go online and watch videos and if u dont like what u see, u bash the ball player and shyt. that aint cool. if u play ball, there are always dirty plays and barking and shyt,

dats ball, if u cant handle the pressure dont play. simple

[et32]

first of all sierra668, emotions had nothing to do with him almost being in prison at his home town of mauldin,

so u got no facts on him, and he is not the most hated in the nba,

he does play with his emeotions cuz he loves the game and he leaves it on the floor,

he won awards in his past years for charity work, every hates to be gaurded and be against him, but no one hates him. get ur facts staright, and i dont want so silly retaliation of u coming and just insulting me.

[ralx225b]

@et32 lol most hated in the NBA? lol that is funny. et32 you don't have to respond to him. We all know Kobe has been the most hated player for several years and Lebron recently joined Kobe when he disrespected Cleveland. But Kg is hated, by the teams he embarrasses but at least the league as a whole loves him and the players for the majority do as well.

[Sierra688]

KG has just never been able to control his emotions. It nearly got him thrown in prison in South Carolina, and it has made him an enemy of just about everyone in the NBA. There's no reason for him trying to show people up. Be a competitor. Play hard, play aggressively, but don't be a punk.

[hiltz202]

wait...

garnett is the man..

so.. youre all basically wrong .

[Tecun85]

Ahh, so Tim Legler wants to talk about emotions, is cursing at the Bulls bench (players and coaches included) an emotional method of pumping up your team? KG is a cancer to the league, rather than greeting players at tipoff and then slapping hands at the end of the game, this douchebag goes to the opposite side of the court, what an emotional guy. Jalen was a great player, and is a great analyst, he hit it right on the money. Trash talking is one thing, insulting an entire team is another.

[Brendenks]

Kevin Garnett biggest punk ever game 1 with the bulls where was he??? in the locker room crying.. game 3 the bulls lost by a lucky ass 3 and kevin garnett was at the bulls bench cussin them out

[BlackaDenBlack]

If I was on KG's team, I'd love him. If I was playing against him, I'd probably hate him lls

[JerseySuave4]

Kevin Garnett showed more class tonight. Even though he's not playing, Allen hits the game winning shot and KG is saying F-U to the Bulls and talking trash. I used to love him when he was in Minnesota but now i wish someone would pop him in the face big time.

[iMagineThis1]

i agree. whenever anyone says that the bulls need to trade for garnett (has been going on for years), i want to just hit them.

he needs to learn how to just shut his mouth

[andreboy1]

Karma is a bitch KG

[sanjayduttrulez]

i u sed to like kg in minnesota, but he thinks he owns the league ever since he been to boston

[nickflit]

K-Fraud is a gigantic tool and coward that only bullies the smallest players on the court. He doesn't grab offensive rebounds, doesn't block shots, and doesn't take the ball to the paint.

He is the most overrated FRAUD in the history OF ANY SPORT.

GET WITH IT!

[kgiscool]

this is the most bullshit comment about kg you could have...if your gunna bash him use something that is true...he doesn't grab off reb.? doesn't block shots? doesn't take the ball to the paint?...watch the fuckin game dude...if anything kg is an underraated player!!...fuck you nickflit

[angustheblind]

What the fuck Nickflit!!

Who the fuck do you think you are.

Do you even Wach the fucken NBA cunt? Do you do you?!!

If you ever KG play you see him take it to the paint youd see him Block, With the Offensive Rebounds. Not his job. Thats Big Baby Davies or Perks job cunt. KGs is to get back on D

Wasnt he like best D playa of the year?

Ummm ye i think so mother fucker!

Who you go for? Lakers Cavs? Your just pissed Boston Kicked the shit outa yall ass in Playoffs

KG MOTHER FUCKER!

[nickflit]

What's that ANUStheblind?

Boy are you an illiterate monkey!

You have the vocabulary of a half retarded 3 year old and the potty mouth of a child who is deprived of his ice cream..

How many years of school did you complete stupid, 3 or 4?

Some of you fanboys are so delusional and pathetic that you are actually willing to commit murder for your favorite sports persona.

It is because you have ZERO self worth, probably have never had a job in your life, and have no clue what work is.

[nickflit]

As for K.G.....

He is the most overrated piece of tissue paper to ever step foot on a basketball court.

I watched the tin man in Minnesota for 10 years hang around the 3 point line on offense and never take it to the hole, never take a shot in the fourth quarter, and never block shots or challenge the nest opposing players. All this fraud does is talk trash to short white point guards and rookies, because he is such a coward he would never pick a fight with someone who would defend themself

[nickflit]

You say K.G. is great, but have you ever really formed your own opinion in you entire life? Answer is no, your a puppet fanboy who just agrees with the populace. You obviously don't know dick about basketball. Last year in the finals K-Fraud, besides fading away against the lowly Hawks and almost losing to the 8th seed, had a horrific finals but nobody seemed to mention that.

40% shooting? Terrible..choke artist!

Besides that awful shooting percentage for a big man, the softy stank.

[dxiao12]

kevin garnett is the best power foward in the game n one of the best in history u fucking mentally retarded shithead ohk?

do u watch nba? do u even play basketball or are u just another fucking cunt that want some attention from the public u fucking loser!!!

to end u dnt know what ur on about u dumb fuck so next u make a comment make sure u wont get fucked over by other ppl like me n kgiscool or angustheblind so how bou u shut the fuck up

ast thing what the fuck is the name NICKFLIT u fuck

[nickflit]

dxiao:

Seriously; listen to how you talk..another illiterate monkey with 3 brain cells to his credit.

How can you write in that prehistoric ebonics style and expect to be taken seriously?

yo dah, u dnt soo hoow bou u ast da duh duh duh duh

God damn you are one stupid, STUPID, son of a bitch.

Until you can at least read, "See Spot Go" without stuttering and uttering profanities from your monkey mouth, then don't try and debate with me son.

[nickflit]

Just one sentence where it doesn't look like a monkey with a brain injury wrote it and I might take you seriously..

Paul Pierce defends, shuts down Kobe, makes all the big shots, and K-Fraud sits around the 3 point line watching it all, and you no nothing jocksniffing fan boys think he is the greatest thing since sliced cornbread.

Your tools who either sucked at sports or have never played them, but if you think K-Fraud is as fgood as you say, you know nothing but stupidity.

[hiltz202]

didnt the celtics start losing without kg in the playoffs?

i guess hes good for something. i donno though, its not like theres evidence to back it up

[nickflit]

Yeah the Celts sure did stink without k-fraud huh "hiltz"? What is "hiltz"? Some new gang where a bunch of losers get together and scrawl chicken scratch into each other in a quasi homo erotic fashion and find strength in large numbers because they can't fend for them-yourself? Thought so..

[nickflit]

The Celtics made it to game 7 of the second round this year dip-shit,-you call that evidence? This is where an education may have helped you. That way you would understand logic and not emotion is the best answer to most any problem.

[nickflit]

Maybe you don't recall them getting taken to the seventh game of the FIRST ROUND of the playoffs last year against the lowly Hawks, largely due to K-Fraud getting outmuscled by Zach Pachulia and of coursee K-Frauds usual inability to step up in the 4th quarter, (Pierce learned no amount of goading could change what a cowardly lion K-Fraud is). And they missed Leon Powe this playoff year a lot more than K-Fraud the illiterate stupid thug, that you adore because you two have so much in common.

[hiltz202]

actually, hiltz is my last name.

interesting analysis. but k-fraud (which by the way, is not clever in the least) is the man. nuff said

[Segovia06]

dxiao12 let me correct you on the first sentence...Duncan is the best power forward in the league and the best pf EVER. And your personal insult and constan cursing makes you look like a dumbass.

[nickflit]

Holy smokes, I am blind! It really is true as they say-even the sun shines on a dogs ass sometimes. In this particular use of the metaphor I will use youtube as the dogs keister and segovia06 as the light that for a brief comment shined upon this dunderhead ridden ebonic laden forum. Yes fine sir, Tim Duncan IS the best PF of all time I do agree as I know the game of basketball as do you it appears. Duncan actually won a championship by LEADING the way and not FOLLOWING like say,

[nickflit]

a K-Fraud might do. Who was the MVP again in the final last year?

Oh yeah, Paul Pierce, and the goat who shot 40% and faded away like his patented shot that is designed to minimize contact FOLLOWED like he always has and always will. This joke had all the talent around him in MN but he was too much of a pussy to take it to the hole and use his great athleticism-what a gigantic waste of talent.

[nickflit]

Put Earl Boykins heart in K-Fraud's body and you would have the greatest player of all time. Put K-Frauds heart in Earl Boykin's body and you may have a black Verne Troyer..

[lbchs22]

I totally agree. I love his emotion but sometimes he just goes a lil overboard with the antics.
