Kevin Garnett Sucks Meatballs

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.
