These comments would have more weight if the player in question wasn’t hiding behind the scenes. How do we even know it is a real player and not an ESPN Intern with a creative imagination?
Take a look at what he had to say about KG.
Garnett is a punk and a coward. I know, I know. Easy for me to say behind this column. Don’t worry, I’ll tell him to his face, too. And I’m not the only one who thinks that: If you’re not on his team, chances are you hate the guy. You can learn a lot about him by watching his eyes. If he’s talking to you — and he’s always talking — he avoids eye contact. My advice to other guys in the league: Stare him down, and he’ll retreat. From what I’ve seen, he’ll never mix it up with a player who’s bigger than he is. Personally, I think he’s scared to fight — like a playground bully who barks but doesn’t bite.
This isn’t new information. I have been calling KG a studio gangster for years. I am curious if they player really would say it to his face, because it is pretty weak blabbing to ESPN.
I will assume his team is out of the playoffs, since he has time to write op ed pieces.
