Lol so true. That's one of the reasons why i luv TD (as a player obviously) . He is always so calm and his lack of expression is also kinda funny. :D:D

I wonder if he tried trash talking to Shaq... that would be funny... although Garnett will be in trouble... look what happened to the Rockets several weeks ago when the fight started between the Suns and the Rockets... Shaq just push everyone that is wearing red and thats an entire team...

Hahah I saw that game that was hilarious man. Shaq went over to help break up the fight and he was like push push and all the rockets players ended up on the floor. Yao ended up on the floor also lol and he's a huge man :eek:

Noah: Garnett Is a Dirty Player - April 18, 2010, by TOM WITHERS, AP Sports Writer

Already despised and cast as a villain in Cleveland, Bulls center Joakim Noah(notes) may now be Public Enemy No. 1 in Boston.

With a day off to recuperate after guarding Cavaliers behemoth big man Shaquille O’Neal(notes), Noah decided to take a shot at Kevin Garnett(notes), calling the Celtics forward “a dirty player” for throwing an elbow at Miami’s Quentin Richardson(notes) in their NBA playoff opener.

Garnett connected with an elbow to Richardson’s face during a sideline skirmish in the final minute of Boston’s Game 1 win on Saturday night. Garnett, who was called for two technicals and ejected, was suspended for Tuesday’s Game 2 without pay.

Before the suspension was announced, Noah said Garnett deserves whatever punishment is coming.

“I’m going to say it: He’s a dirty player,” Noah said Sunday after he and his Chicago teammates practiced at Quicken Loans Arena in preparation for Monday’s Game 2 against the Cavaliers. “He’s always swinging elbows, man. I’m hurting right now because of an elbow he threw. It’s unbelievable. He’s a dirty player. It’s one thing to be competitive and compete and all that.

“But don’t be a dirty player, man. He’s a dirty player.”

Richardson was walking over toward fallen Celtics forward Paul Pierce(notes), who had gone down near Miami’s bench, when he got bumped by Garnett. The two exchanged words before others joined in and TV replays showed Garnett landing an elbow to Richardson’s chin as players from both teams pushed and shoved.

Noah’s opinion was that Garnett intended to strike Richardson.

“He knows what he’s doing,” Noah said. “It’s messed up. It’s wrong. It’s not right. I shouldn’t even be talking about this stuff. It’s crazy.” .....

I am sure everyone here can read?

What do you think about his actions?

Is trash talking always alright?, is there a line that cannot be crossed?, or is it fine in any case.

Thanks for pulling up this thread.

So, Villanueva says that Garnett called him a "cancer patient."

Garnett says that he said "you are cancerous to your team and our league."

Please, KG. You did not say "you are cancerous to your team and our league." Nobody believes you said that.

This is pretty pathetic on KG's part. It's pathetic. I don't think it "crosses a line" or anything, it's just sad that KG's builds his game on finding younger, less experienced players to pick fights with. He has a long history of going after players who are smaller and thinner. There's a reason he's never talked trash to Dwight Howard.
 
Now that Shaqasaurus Rex on his side.. I got a feeling KG will be nastier bully than he ever was...
 
The guy was owned by Calderon lol.
BTW has he ever actually picked a fight on court or is he what we call in Greece a "pseudo-bully"(english term?)?

I think Paper Tiger might be an appropriate translation. "His bark is worse than his bite," as we say. :D

I think he's been suspended for throwing elbows at guards like Quintin Richardson, but I don't recall him being in an actual fight where he threw punches. Anybody know?

Off course other than the elbow to Richardson I remember this mini-slap on Duncan :D

I don't think anyone would talk shit to Dwight Howard...Ever.
 
Garnett is a jerk, but he comes from a dying breed of NBA players that quite frankly, I'm gonna miss. Trash talking, and getting into the opponents head is all apart of the game.

The NBA would a million times more interesting if players were more open like he was.
 
Wow, getting owned by Flopperon AND sneaking up to Duncan for a lame slap?
This guy is a legend.
To think that he's been playing for my favourite NBA team all this time and i had no idea he's such a character..... :D

as someone who lost one of my parent to cancer when I was little I'm just really shock any human being with functioning brain and a heart instead of a piece of ice in their chess would even dare to say something like that to anybody, whether it was trash talking or not.

wow this time he definitely crossed the line. there is no excuse here, talking about threatening family members and illnesses (that btw are out of one's control) are big "no no's" in any sport where trash-talking take place, and not just any illness but "cancer" for god's sake CANCER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what the f@ck is wrong with you man !!!!
you're not talking about the common cold here you're talking about something that kills millions of people every year.


one think I do have to say:
Kevin Garnett is ten times a better player than Villnueva will ever be, but Villanueva is twenty times a better human being that Garnett will ever be !!!!!!

that basically like saying:
"hey you Aids guy you wanna have sex with that hotty rght there....oh wait, that right you can't!!!"

I mean common now, talkin' 'bout "cancer," seriously cancer!!!!
have some self respect, man.

and on top of that, he doesn't even have the BALLS to admit it now.
hey if you don't have the f@cking balls to admit what you say and suck it up like a real man, then don't f@ucking say it !!!!!!!!!

Garnett is a worthless piece of flesh whose only purpose in life is to occupy some space in Earth and eat the food that could go to a real human being who does need it.

I hope you burn in hell!!!!!!!!!
 
Garnett in a nutshell:
Keeping a lid on trash talk - November 8, 2010, Boston Globe, by Gary Washburn

A night after Kevin Garnett’s Twitter-fueled controversy with Charlie Villanueva, the Celtics forward was involved in an exchange with Milwaukee’s Andrew Bogut after dunking on him for a key fourth-quarter basket in Boston’s 105-102 win.

Garnett screamed after the dunk, became entangled with Bogut, flipped an elbow, and Bogut responded by shoving him back. Both were assessed technicals.

Bogut, one of the league’s most brutally honest players, was asked later if he has to prepare to hear over-the-top trash talk from Garnett.

“Nah, he doesn’t test me,’’ Bogut said. “It’s not a big deal to me. I have no problem with him. Every player brings something different. He’s energetic. It doesn’t affect me and my play at all.’’

“He has an issue with [altercations]; I don’t, so just read between the lines with what happened in the last 48 hours, not just this game,’’ he said. “You read between what happened last game, too. He’s got a lot on his plate as far as that goes.’’

What is the banter like with Garnett?

“He doesn’t say nothing to me,’’ said Bogut. “We’ve got a little history as well. He doesn’t talk smack to me. He talks more to guys he knows he can that won’t do anything about it. He tried to do it my rookie year, but since then he hasn’t done much to me.’’

I also lost someone close (uncle) to cancer 2 years ago. However I think this "incident" has been blown out of proportions. I'm no KG fan by any means but trash talking is part of the game. It's called trash talking for a reason, it's meant to be hurtful. You can't always be politically correct on everything, it depends on the situation.
 
I agree with sinoball.

Do we get mad at C. Ronaldo for diving...okay well we do but hes an annoying prick.

This is the man's job and anyway he can beat you he will try 2. You gotta be mentally tough

OK.. First of all, I'm really sorry for your lost. But I don't really agree with what you're saying here.

Sure trash talking is a fundamental part of the game of basketball, and sure you don't expect those who use trash talking as a means to take their opponent out of sync to be politically correct.

BUT THERE ARE LINES YOU CAN NEVER CROSS

I mean, you are basically saying that if a player tells other player from the opposing team that "he is going to rape his little 7 year old daughter right in front of him just so he can watch it all and then eat his mother's pussy right after hitting her in the face with his dick" is OK to say just because trash talking is a part of the game, I mean sure it's part of the game but Everything in life have boundaries, and what KG did, just like this comment above about the little 7 year old daughter, just cross it way too far for my taste

He said "you look like some cancer patient". It's not like he said "Cancer patients deserve to be tortured and die painfully". It's kind of like the insults "you gay" "yo mama's so fat", they are also somewhat disrespecting gay people and fat people but you know, no need for such a reaction.
