Q: Are you overpaid?
KG: Hell no. If anything I'm underpaid, with everything I do. That's a ridiculous question. I have to do everything for this team.
Q: Are you tough enough to play in the Western Conference? Maybe Minnesota should move to the East.
KG: Man, I've been in the Western Conference for seven years. Holdin' it down. Nobody there scares me. Look at my numbers. You know my rap sheet.
Q: What are your numbers?
KG: Twenty, ten and five. Twenty, ten and five. Three years in a row. And I'm rounding down. Who else has done that?
Q: What does that get you?
KG: It gets you what it gets you.
Q: Does it get you out of the first round?
KG: We'll get out of the first round when everybody does their part. Players, coaches, management, everybody. I can't do everything by myself. It'll get us past the first round if m-----------s do their part.
Don't tell KG he's soft in the 4th.
Q: Word on the street is that you're soft in the fourth quarter.
KG: F--- you talkin' about? That's not what I hear.
Q: What do you hear?
KG: That KG is the m---------ing s---. ****** know. My peers in the league know what I'm about.
Q: What have you learned about the fourth quarter?
KG: To not pass the ball if we're losing.
Q: Did it hurt you when your idols criticized you? [During the playoffs, Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley were highly critical of Garnett for not "stepping up" in the fourth quarter.]
KG: That was just them being d---s. They were just looking for a camera. Besides, they're not my idols anyway.
Q: Has Kobe ever dunked on you?
KG: That's a stupid question. No. Kobe has never dunked on me in his life.
Q: Are you and Wally better than Kobe and Shaq?
KG: [Long pause] No … it hurts me to say it but we're not. I just … [sigh] ... we just aren't.
Q: Why did you skip college?
KG: At the time I felt like going pro was the only way I was going to make something of my life. Besides college ain't s---. It's like slavery, they're trying to f--- the kids. You gotta get your education but I made a decision for me.

He sure seems like a nice guy, don't you think? I think it's obvious why he didn't go to college too, and I don't mean because of the answer he gave.
