Most people will tell you off the court that Kevin Garnett is a nice individual.
Unfortunately his on the court actions and off the court comments to the media lately has more people seeing him as as real jerk. He is already known as the #1 studio gangster in the league and he continuously puts his foot in his mouth when to trying to express how he feels about certain situations.
He does it once again when a Lakers ballboy asked KG for an autograph, here is what he had to say:
Andrew Bogut of the Milwaukee Bucks says he treated their ballboy like trash as well.
Before addressing the Bin Laden statement, just remember that ballboys are kids. Kids who love basketball and love the NBA. The type of kids that help pay Garnett’s salary and have made him famous.
Doesn’t matter if they are a ballboy for the Lakers, Bucks, Heat or whoever, you don’t treat kids like that. Only punks feel the need to act like that.
To add on the Bin Laden reference is just disrespectful and in poor taste, but what we are learning that KG doesn’t have any taste or respect for his fellow players or fans for that matter.
They use to call Kevin Garnett “The Kid”, it is time for him to grow up.
