Dear KG,

I heard you had a rough first day of kindergarten. Don't let that Rick the Stick get to you, big guy. Hey, every dog has his day, and for that matter, every praying mantis has his day against the league's MVP and future hall of famer. Just keep your head up, bud...I packed you an extra twinkie in your lunch today to help you get through the day . You'll learn in time, trooper. Control that temper, chief, and remember I'm in your corner, fighter!

Please, KG needs to grow up. How old is he again? He gets schooled by a pasty skeleton and what's his response? Oh yeah, he punches the guy. Just grow up, KG. He puts on this thug act on the court, yet when Peeler threw bows, KG was quick to back down. But hey, all 110 lbs. of Rickert talks a little trash and KG wilds out. Thug life! Drop the thug act, KG. You're just a big kid. Grow up, act like a man, and win a championship. Oh, and stopped getting schooled by YMCA league bench riders that weigh half as much as you. Between this and grabbing Elson's sack, KG is making an *** of himself.

The Timberwolves say league MVP Kevin Garnett's recent physical confrontation with rookie Rick Rickert won't affect the former Gopher's chances of making the roster.

i guess you could take that comment two ways, one it wont hurt his chances or two it wont help his chances. what a real ballsy statement buy the t-wolves. they should have fined garnett and taken that c off his shirt.

^Really, why do you say that? Do you know exactly what happened? Or do you just know a little snipet from a unreliable writer in an unreliable paper and you dislike KG so you assume he did it for no good reason despite a writer who's actually respected for his opinions saying that there had to have been a good reason for him to do that. But I guess you know more than the respected writer right? And you also know more about the situation than the Wolves organization does right?

this story has even been in sports illustrated, lets get off this kick that we can just dismiss something like it never happened. i havent seen garnett and or the wolves organization come forward and deny it ever happened which tells me it did. if you want to back garnett's actions good for you, personally i think he's a loser.

I'm not backing up his actions because I have absolutely no clue what his actions were, and you don't either. KG hasn't denied it, and Rickert hasn't confirmed it. I'm not defending KG here saying he was OK to do what he did. I'm just saying that we don't know if it's ok or not. All the information came from that guys little snippet on it. I think somebody talekd to Rickert's mom too, but she just talked about the stitches and stuff. The fact is that we know nothign about this. Don't be so quick to say he was completely wrong here when we don't know that. I'm not saying he was ok to do it, because I don't know if he was. And you shouldn't say he was wrong to do it, because you don't know if he was.

Who's the real K.G.?

Trent Tucker confirmed what the Timberwolves haven't about Kevin Garnett punching recruit Rick Rickert. Tucker was on KFAN's "P.A. & Dubay Show" discussing how he works out with Rick to enhance his chance of making the team. When asked about the skirmish, Tucker said: It shouldn't have happened and both sides have moved on. Basketball insiders and outsiders agree that K.G. cannot have any more of these punching episodes if the team plans to continue burnishing his image as some kind of ambassador to the NBA. The Rickert punching, repairs for which reportedly required stitches, is officially the MVP's second attack on a teammate. K.G. has previously punched Wally Szczerbiak, reportedly while he was in a prone position. Those who buy into K.G.'s good-guy image have to wonder why he has a tendency to act like an insecure bully when there are no TV cameras around. The answer is obvious: K.G.'s image portrays something he's not. Some are dedicated into building him into someone who couldn't possibly need anger management. A Timberwolves spokesman has not responded to such questions.
