Kevin Garnett Sucks Meatballs

May 5, 2008

Until now, people who know me only through this blog wouldn’t know that National Basketball Association (NBA) is high on my interests. I follow the NBA very closely, watch plenty of games, and am updated with its news.

And anyone who’s been at proximity to me for the past 2 days knows how much I wanted Atlanta Hawks to defeat Boston Celtics. I like Atlanta for being a team where the players are young, athletic and hardworking. It doesn’t matter that, of all teams that are in the playoff, they’re the ones with the least impressive winning record.

The Hawks came mighty close to upsetting Boston Celtics - the team with the greatest winning record - before they suffered a devastating loss in Game 7, but as far as I’m concerned their performance had been more than impressive. It’s too bad that they’re out of the playoff race now, but I can deal with that.

But I can’t stand this player from Celtics. I’m referring to Kevin Garnett (KG). I am so sick and tired of his obnoxious yelling, chest-beating, angsting and frontin, and I am so sick and tired of the press falling over themselves to praise this guy.

You want an example of the stupidity that happens whenever KG does something foul? Go watch this video. Just listen to how the commentators looked for excuses to say that KG was "right".

So I don’t get it. Surely the commentators saw KG just standing there and waiting to shoulder ram Zaza Pachulia, and they were still saying that this was not a dirty play? And KG still think he’s right, going back to the bench and giving high fives to other players and acting smug. And what did the authority do to Garnett’s misbehaviour? Nothing. Meanwhile, two days ago, a player who finger poked Lebron James got suspended.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is presented to you by NBA, where double-standards happen. Where you only have to be KG to be called "passionate" when you do something foul, whereas, if you’re Iverson and you do the same thing, you’re called "ghetto". You only have to be KG to escape suspension when you shove the referee. You only have to be KG to be called "keeping his cool" when you don’t retaliate to an angry player, while if you’re Dirk and you back down from an altercation, you’re called "soft". You only have to be KG to be called "unsupported" when clutch moves aren’t made in 4th quarter while if you’re T-mac you get roasted to oblivion by the press and by bloggers. You only have to be KG to sucker punch two teammates of T-Wolves without earning suspension. All his shouting and raging and fury-ing are just "intensity", but all of Rasheed’s similar behaviors are "shenanigans".

Yeah, because what NBA needs is the media sucking KG’s balls for not playing like a center, for not having post moves, for his suburban jump-shooting. Never mind, that media never criticize him for his shouting like a moron, for his throwing ignorant "There’s a saying in China. Sayonara" or "Lemme bring the AK and the grenades" comments when he’s trash talking, for his slapping the floor like a retard during 2000 Olympics. Because, ladies and gentleman, KG is that player America is proud of.

The Boston Celtics , as a professional team of NBA, is one of the major teams that has fans all around the world. It is quite normal if Boston Celtics tickets are so pricy or hard to find because such great teams tickets worth any price. It doesn’t matter if we pay a respected price for Celtics tickets because we satisfy our eagerness to watch good games and more than that when we go to watch a game it’s because we love this team and we shouldn’t be mean.

What does that have anything to do with what I’ve written? I said “mean” things about KG and you’re responding with “We shouldn’t be mean to Boston Celtics”. Let me ask you this then: suppose if KG wasn’t a Celtics player, and he acted to a Celtics player the way he did to Zaza Pachulia. And then he went around shoving a referee. How would you react?

I mean, when Kobe Bryant go around screaming - and that doesn’t happen very often - the media are always saying “wow what an arrogant prick that Kobe is”, but somehow it’s okay for Garnett to be screaming like a loon? Why? Because he has this good-guy-face that suburban-denizens so like to eat up? And with all his yelling and swearing and angst-ing, can you imagine how America would react had Garnett been the same guy he always is, but plays on a Middle Eastern team?

Garnett is a choker

“But that’s his teammate’s fault! They’re not contributing!” is always their defense. So I wonder why Tracy McGrady gets crucified when he doesn’t get past first round then.

For some reason, despite being terribly ugly and almost-retarded, Kevin Garnett still is a likable loser unlike McGrady. KG has been portrayed as a “victim” for almost his entire stay with the Minnesota franchise instead of a superstar with a chip on his shoulder.

Yeah, I really hate what they’re doing to Dirk. They’re just calling him soft because he’s not the stereotypical bigman that the NBA is used to.

I find the post season incredibly boring. I wonder if the Mavs early exit has something to do with that observation. hehe

@benj I have a theory. KG can commit all kinds of foul like shove the referee, punch his own teammates and say something very nasty, and the NBA lets him go away with it. Why? Because he has this “competitive and fierce-looking” front that seems to fool undiscerning viewers (which no doubt consists all lonely middle-aged housewives). It’s just like what happens when people criticize Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. All she has to do is to show publicity pictures of her praying, and suddenly the public will forgive her, despite all her scandals.

I really hate what they’re doing to T-mac and Dirk. People are so harsh about them when they don’t go far in the playoff, but I’ve yet to hear the press condemn KG the same way, even if he’s only gone past first round the second time his entire career.

But I still like this post season though. New Orleans, FTW!

ScrewNawlins. Leche!

You have a point!

Ben Wallace? Check!

Anderson Varejao? Check!

Damn… I hope the Mavs trade Howard. I HATE HIM. Let him smoke weed somewhere else.

I still can’t get over Dallas’s shipping out of Devin Harris, and I never wanted them to have Jason Kidd the coach breaker.

Coach Avery Johnson, talking after theirplayoff series, said “Byron Scott and Chris Paul have good chemistry, and Chris Paul seems very coachable”. Nagpaparinig yata

Let’s give KG some slack. The press just feeds off his passion; he has been in a team that was lackluster for many years. He has a fresh start now, and let’s not deny it - he is playing his best basketball with a team that accepts him as its heart.

Posted by Pity at May 17, 2008, 2:45 pm

Yeah, I’m sure the NBA cuts him slacks a lot. Actually, he is partly responsible for the lackluster-ness of his former team, and even his present team. Seen today’s game? Yeah, not too inspiring now, is it?

Actually, I’d rather cut slack to players who don’t talk trash and act like a retard all the time. Why sympathize people whose heads are stuck so far up their asses?

Kevin Garnot sucks. I admit, I’m a Celtics hater but if they “accept Garnett as their heart and soul” they have bigger problems than even I imagined.

Garnots position should be renamed to soft forward. Celtics wouldnt be where they are without the real players on their team; Paul Peirce, PJ Brown, Sam Cassell and Leon Powe.
