^tough players from the 80's have chunks of guys like KG in their stool. & both sides of this are kind of arguing two different points- it's true he is a d.b. & "fake" tough guy (i.e. will start a fight & literally run away if no other players/refs get between them in time), but that does add to his value if it distracts his opponent without getting penalized himself.
He's a jerk. Remember when he was dunking on the end of our bench, after we'd pulled the starters, in the game that ended our 22 game winning streak?
well, kobe is a douchebag, but phil jackson, defends kobe, in the rockets series, when he hit battier's head, jackson never said he is dirty. when he throws his teammates under the bus, he is just being "a leader" leborn is a douchebag, but eric spolefstra doesnt say anything about it.
