Take it easy. John was the one that started it with his immature comment about the Mavs being a bunch of losers. Garnett has never made it past WCF, and neither has Dirk. Garnett also lost in the first round a crap load of times in a row. So I don't see why you chose to comment on mavsman's post when John was the person that started it in the first place.

Thank you. My thoughts exactly.

From the information available in the article, this sounds like an issue to be addressed by the criminal justice system. I'm pretty sure that's assault and battery. Legally, it doesn't matter what Rickert said. Verbal provocation is no excuse for violence. If Rickert makes the team, he'll probably try to smooth it over, but if he doesn't a civil suit would seem possible as well. Medical expenses and pain/suffering and punitive damages. Not that Garnett would notice the hit to his $100 million+ pocketbook. Garnett clearly handled this situation wrong. If he just didn't like the guy, I'm sure he has sufficient clout within the organization to ask management not to keep him on the team and have that be respected. That would have been low, but not as bad as this.

Rickert should have stayed in school. He let a man punch him in the face and just took it. Hot damn, what a wimp.

Johnny Mac

All of you who are defending Garnett hold the opinion that theres something more to what happened. That is true, even though theres not a lot of scenarios that justify Garnett knocking a guy out. If something happened that did justify it happening, then thats that, no big deal.

However, if this is true as it reads, then Garnett is a punk. Like bballlife pointed, this type of thing wouldnt exactly surprise me from Garnett.

Nobody can deny that if this happened as the article says or close to it, that its a punk act straight up. I dont know how anyone can deny that.

Baron Davis

Did you know that Garnett was involved in a lynching incident with three of his friends and a white person? That's why his mom and him went to Chicago.

it seemed like a few years ago whenever you watched a t-wolves game he had a thing going with some white guy on the other team. i know he never liked wally but i thought maybe the big ticket was maturing a bit, obviously i was wrong.

futuristxen

Wow. I really had no idea there were so many people who felt this way about KG. I thought you all were KG fans a few months ago.

Maybe now is the time for a lil' Duncan vs. KG poll, no?

Again. I'm astounded this is a 7 page thread. I can't believe this is such a big story for so many of you. You guys can't really be that desperate for basketball news?

Does Wayne Brady have to choke a *****?

its july 31st, do you want to talk about the pistons maybe letting elden campbell go? i'm not a t-wolves fan and like i've said i hope there is more to this and cooler heads prevail here. rickert should have just swung back and had it out with k.g., not a good situation for your franchise player to be in. you would think if nothing else your leader would want a guy out there that might be able to improve the ballclub.

The league's biggest star physically assaults a teammate and it's not big news?

Please.

Johnny Mac

I cant believe people actually defend someone who knocks a rookie out for scoring on him, thats ridiculous.

RP McMurphy

Do you know him personally to be able to say he's one of the nicest guys in the league?

For the posters who were ripping on people who criticized Kevin Garnett "before they knew all the facts," why aren't you ripping on Pan for praising Garnett "before he knows all the facts."
