Some sports writer might take this and run with it. Imagine Bill Simmons or somebody going on after this. Skip Bayless is probably licking his chops.

Thanks
What happened to the thread about your reaction to KG and comparing the situation to an ex girlfriend and zombie (both great comparisons)?
I copied that from somebody else and meant to quote it but I realized who it was and he wasn't being serious. So I got rid of it.

A little bit of what KG did wouldn't have been so bad but he carried way to far making him look bad IMO, classless.
It was though the Celtics with the same amount of losses that the Wolves have wins were gloating because they beat the worst team in the league by one point. You would have thought he had won the NBA finals.

He's been doing the jersey thing in close games since the start of January, when he did it in a close game over the Rockets when he went nuts down the stretch. It wasn't anything new and/or particular to the Wolves.

Yea, if anything KG is consistent. He's arrogant and cocky to a point. You have to remember that he was passionate and often psyched himself up during games as a Twolve. He sometimes played the crowd like a pro wrestler-->i.e. the powdering of hands in front of the color analysts and camera, or jumping ontop the table when he hit that game winning jumper.
I wouldn't take it personally as a fan. He's a fan of the game and has been a respectable player in Minny.
Too bad the new Twolves aren't as emotionally driven.

I don't see why people are surprised or angry. KG's always been a heart on his sleeve type player, and he had good reason to be pumped. I also don't see why people are trying to throw the "It's just another game" comment in his face. It's obvious that it wasn't, and that's to be expected. People seem to be getting bent out of shape over what's really nothing.
"A while back,'' Cardinal said, "I took a picture of the standings and texted it to Love, just to bust his chops,'' Cardinal said. "He sent me a picture back of a snowdrift.''

As a Wolves fan first and a KG fan second, I don't have any problem with the whole jersey showcasing. He's emotional to begin with, he won the game, he's showing some Celtic pride, and just wanted to pump up the fans. KG just wanted to show everyone he's moved on in terms of his BASKETBALL linkage to the Wolves. In no way is he dissing MIN.
As for the cussing (at the Wolves supposedly), I'd really have to be there to get a real sense of what went on, but again could just be an emotional KG after a physical battle against his old team.
The biggest point to make is that this took place in BOSTON. If he was gloating like that in the Target Center, this'd be a whole other story.

+1. You guys need to relax. I was going to post this had i not read through this entire thread but we are getting a little carried away. He wasnt jumping up on the scorers table flipping Wolves fans off at the TC, he was at home, and gave his team the effort it needed to win.
I NEVER remember anyone having a problem with this type of stuff when he was in that #21 jersey. All of the sudden, he isnt supposed to have passion for the game??? You guys turn your backs very quickly on someone that once meant the world to some of us.
