um no pal. I play pick up games with kanniffmn and sutff happens. If anything, basketball can be more personal than anything. The games are intense and a lot of pride is on the line. Tempers rise and people dont want to lose. it happens.
It is just like being a senoir in college, the starting forward of the varsity team and a 9th grader shows up and challenges a one on one game. The kid is immature and is draining shots in ur eye in front of a bunch of your teamates. the kid is taunting u and ur teamates are laughing at you. You tell the kid to shutup, but he doesnt. So wat do u do? knock some freakin sense into him......Probably how kg felt.
Now i know wat kg did was wrong, but a kid who does this, never played on an nba team, a second round pick, he has no right to talk to kg that way. At the same time kg shouldnt of hit rickert because that doesnt solve anything. In the heat of the gam,e, people lose control.
Now for rickert, i think his stock has just rised in the nba. The wolves may pick him up if he can do wat he did to kg, and if he doesnt then another team will pick him up and try to get into kg's head.

From the Star Tribune today, adding something to the story:
The town is buzzing about a punch Kevin Garnett landed on the chin of former Gopher Rick Rickert during a scrimmage at Target Center. Rickert, who won't talk about what happened, needed some stitches to close the wound.
That is not like Garnett to do something like this. He doesn't even do it during the regular season. Rickert must have done something to aggravate Garnett.

Huh? I think I know what you mean, but this is different situation. The Wally situation is ancient. That's a completely different story where a person get involved with 2 different people in each story.

I've heard like 6 different versions of this, but from the sounds of it Rickert got a couple of nice buckets with KG on him, talked some smack, and KG knocked him. He's competitive as hell, but you can't lose control like that, especially towards a teammate. The media really is amazing though. Melo *****es about PT at the Olympics and he's vilified nationally, KG hits a rookie in the face during training camp and it makes the local papers.  The rookie shouldn't have opened his mouth so freely, KG shouldn't have hit him, and naturally he's gonna get the blame because he hit the kid in the face.

garnett should issue an apology. I dont care what Rick NBDL said. If you want to beat on him. Do it by winning on the court. Dunk on his head or something. Your KG. If you want to.. just embarrass his *** on the court. You got a new shoe doing all kinds of commericals. Why dont you just put Rick on your shoulders? Whyd you hit him?

he did embarrass him on the court. i'd be pretty embarrassed if i was talking all that head to the reigning mvp, and he told me to shut up, and in turn i refused...that i got lit up. that's why rickert hasn't said much about it. he's going to have a fake tooth for the rest of his life...a mark to show how truly dumb this event is.

dunking on someone's head and physical assult are two very different things. Both get the message across. One is legal. One isnt.

He probably did anyway, then punched Rickert to finally shut him up.

Rickert is getting way to much publicity just because of this. i know that the real story is not out, each story that is out is diffrent much each other in so many ways.wat im thinking is is that rickert blocked his shot, then drained a shot in kg's eye. rickert laughed and staarted talking crap, spree and cassell startd laughing at him. rickert then dunks on kg. taunts kg. kg tell him to shut up. Every one satarts laughing, rickert makes fun of kg some more. POP! there goes half of rickert's tooth flying towards center court and blood flying from his lip.
The thing is, we will never know wat actually happened because all the stories sound a lot diffrent.

I guess you're right. On the bright side, at least he's not a blazer.

And that makes it alright does it? Chipping somebodies tooth and causing them to receive 7 stitches just because you're getting your *** handed to you is actually quite stupid. I bet if you were on the receiving end of that punch you wo | |
