    So you're not intelligent enough to explain why supporting Kobe or not supporting Kobe has to do with me originally saying it's dumb to say LeBron would not have done this when he hasn't even put himself in the situation KG put himself.

    You know why you can't explain it? Because your response to what I said had nothing to do with what I said.

    Derailing from the thread..

    For elite athletes, who command seven-figure salaries, returning to college is an investment and a hedge against what can be an uncertain future. Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets resumed classes at Wake Forest, and Westbrook (UCLA) and teammate Kevin Durant continued working toward his degree at Texas.

    Now onto Lebron, aka 'it's all about me' ..
    "Players like him could have benefited some, by attending college before joining the NBA"

    Lulz. I'm sure you had to take the velcro off your helmet and take a break from chewing your collar to muster this up. I get it man. You love Lebron. Maverick will give you a fight ,but if you're lucky you will get to swallow once during his career.

    You're so lost I didn't even bother.

    Lebron isn't my hero. I wasn't even really a Lebron "fan" until after the decision, when I just found myself defending him because of the ridiculous attacks that made against him constantly, even when it's completely irrelevant (like in this very thread).

    I didn't mention Kobe in my response. I didn't take a jab at Kobe in my response. If you're referring to the rape comment, that was really more of a Ben Roethlisberger comment if anything. That's a guy I would call a scumbag. Being selfish and immature like Lebron likely is doesn't make you a scumbag IMO. Purposely hurting people for your own gain does.

    As for Kobe being a "much better" player than Lebron, that just shows how clueless you are. Even most diehard Kobe fanboys who think he's the best would at least admit that it's close enough to be debatable.

    Can we just end any further mention of Kobe or LeBron in this thread? There's tons of other threads for that, this is about KG.

    I don't think in the context of his original statement that there was no point to his bringing up LeBron's name. He just stated there's only one player he hates more than KG. The follow up questions then got him started on the LeBron thing and thats where it shouldnt have gone.

    And absolutely agree that you supporting Kobe or not was a silly question and not relevant at all.

    There can we drop it. Back to KG.


    D-bag!

    "I just went over and, I know there's some speculation [about what Garnett said], and I'm not going to get into it, you all know what I'm talking about," said Garnett. "I went up to him as a man and what I said is that I had nothing personal toward him nor any other cancer patient that is out there struggling and dealing with life situations. I wanted to say that to him, man to man. I was going to do it before the game, when the [shot] clocks and stuff was messed up [delaying the opening tipoff], but I wanted to get the game out of the way, and then approach him."[/rquoter]

    Its good to know that KG doesn't have a personal grudge against people with cancer. I'm glad he cleared that up.

    again, charlie V exaggerated what he said (KG did state he said charlie was "cancerous" to the team, not dissing him b/c he looked like a cancer pt)

    anyways, too many haters on this board. KG is a player i would want on this team 8 days a week.

    LeBron isn't even my favorite player. Like I said bringing up Kobe has nothing to do with what I said.

    But on your little scumbag comment and comparing Kobe to LeBron. People hated Kobe because he was accused of rape.

    Good job on comparing a guy accused of rape to a guy who disappointed a franchise. Great comparison

    Ferrari that's all I'm saying it was stupid and now he's trying to say I'm not intelligent because I said it wasn't relevant.

    As for his original statement on hating LeBron more than Kg.I didn't even respond to that. My comment on the LeBron thing was to the guy that said LeBron would not have wen to Karl to apologize. My original response was to asmith not King1 so I have no clue why he is even responding to my quote about how much he hates LeBron like I care.


    But like you said this is about KG not Bron which was my whole point anyway but an idiot got me into this pointless debate.

    It's like after saying black people are inferior and then go up to a black man and say, "I had nothing personal toward you nor any other black person."

    True but he is denying he said it.

    It would suck if Charlie V made it up and nobody belives KG because he's KG.

    Maybe he he didn't say it, and Villanueva didn't make it up. KG said something like, "You're a cancer" and Villanueva, in the heat of the moment and to some extent sensitive about his appearance, though he said "You're a cancer patient". Its entirely possible that there was just a misunderstanding and people, as usual, are blowing things out of proportion.

    Well the arena is loud that is possible. Since neither was mic'd up we will only know. All we have is speculation.
