Kevin Garnett, the highest paid third option on a team you will ever meet, is still an enormous jackass. Here's a wonder story about what a huge prick Garnett was to rookies AJ Price and Tyler Hansbrough:

"Garnett wasn’t exactly welcoming to Pacers rookies A.J. Price and Tyler Hansbrough when he visited Indianapolis this summer to film a Wheaties commercial. As Garnett exited Conseco Fieldhouse, Indiana assistant coach Lester Conner asked him to walk over and meet Price and Hansbrough, who were working out. Garnett wasn’t exactly friendly. According to Conner, Garnett continued to walk out and remarked, '[Expletive] your rookies.' Said Price, laughing, 'That pretty much let me know where I was at on the totem pole. I thought I was going to have a chance to talk to him for a second so I can say, ‘What’s up?' and introduce myself. But I guess he shot that down real quick.'"

You stay classy, KG. I hope you enjoy going down in history as the most overpaid role player in the history of sports.

1	I gotta be honest... this makes me love KG even more. I'd say the same thing, if someone tried to get me to go talk to Tyler Hansbrough.

0	Talk about an attitude problem. Something tells me, KG has no respect for rookies, on other teams........What a cottonpickin' moron!

1	So Hansbrough's summer consisted of starring in a commercial but getting no lines, and getting punked by KG?

1	Garnett's behavior makes me happy that the NBA superstars of tomorrow are Wade, Paul, Howard and Lebron and that we are soon to see the end of KG, Kobe, Pierce and McGrady. KG's era will never be considered a golden age for the NBA and I believe this was more a result of attitude and work ethic than talent or athletic ability...

2	KG will go to bed tonight with his $126 million and his ring and laugh his way to sleep. And trust me, he won't miss a single wink.

WTF are you talking about man??? Kobe and KG have brought so much excitement to the NBA since MJ's career ended. Attitude and Work ETHIC??? Do you even watch the NBA? KG is one of the hardest working players of this era and he has a passion for winning like no other but maybe Kobe.

KG has talent, athletic ability, passion, and great work ethic....He's marketable...Are you kidding me????

KG has averaged 20pts and 11rebs and 5assts for his ENTIRE CAREER!!!!

KG is an NBA Champion, NBA Most Valuable Player, 12 X NBA All-Star, NBA All-Star MVP, 4X All NBA 1st-Team, 8X All-NBA Defensive Team, and a 5th Overall Draft Pick who entered the NBA straight from High School!!!!! KG has led the NBA in rebounds per game 4 times, has like 20 triple-doubles, and an Olympic Gold Medal.

(COPY and PASTED from WIKI)
KG is also the only player in NBA history to:

average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists per game for 6 consecutive seasons. (1999–2005)
average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists per game for 9 consecutive seasons. (1998–2007)
reach at least 20,000 points, 11,000 rebounds, 4,000 assists, 1,200 steals, and 1,500 blocks in his playing career.

GOLDEN AGE??? The past 15 years have been the age of "New Legends"...Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, KG, NASH...Who am I forgetting. Those 5 are all Hall of Fame!!! Golden AGE??? WTF???
