    I figure there's a bunch of other power forwards that have similar dislike/hatred for KG. (And a bunch of white/euro guards as well)
    Dirk comes to mind just like TD but you know Dirk won't say anything, that's why it's so surprising that one of the only players more reticent than Dirk(T.Duncan) would let out about his dislike for KG.
    Great stuff.

    Yes, God forbid you piss him off and he laughs at you from the sidelines.

    lol...doesn't KG do this to everyone.

    Why so mad Timmah?

    You don't hear Jordan talking about how he hated Vernon Maxwell for baiting him and whispering really weird smack into his ear. Or how about Rodman and anyone? Some dudes just do that to everyone.

    TD is the most ridiculously consistent player. Which is why I still don't get why everyone talks about how his really declined. As far as I see it, I think it's basically all in his decreased minutes. On a per 36 minute basis, TD is basically unchanged:

    2011-2: 19.7 pts / 11.5rbs / 49.2%FG / 1.9blks / 2.9ast
    Career : 20.6 pts / 11.5rbs / 50.7%FG / 2.3blks / 3.1ast

    Now that it's the playoffs, they'll need to up his minutes more. So as his minutes go up to their normal amount, he will basically have the same numbers he's had his entire career. And his defense is still great.

    Maybe because Maxwell was just a decent role player for a few years who only went up against Jordan a couple of times a year in meaningless games. Why would Jordan care about him at all?

    It also could be because nobody ever asked Michael what he thought about Vernon, on a personal basis.

    Well, Garnett is an insanely good defender.

    So, KG acts like KG with Duncan. Duncan reacts like most human beings would to KG.

    kg will always live in TIM DUNCAN's shadow

    Tim Duncan is the Great Power Foward of all time hands down and kg is somewhere in the top 5, personally I would put him at 4 but i dislike him so my opinion is bias. lol

    Both TD and KG are playing like they are 28 again. I love it.
