You are just figuring this out about KG?
The guy wants to win so badly that he bounces around the court like a chicken with its head cut off pretty much the entire game. His eyes are wide, he's talking crap the whole game - to opponents, to officials, to his own teammates half the time. I mean, that's intensity, and the will to win, right?
I mean, KG wants to win more than anything - right?
And actually, most of this is true. He plays defense, runs the floor, and is a good locker room leader.
But whatever you do, don't ask him to move within 5 feet of the basket on the offensive end. Sure, he'll do the crap talk, hyperactive routine you want him to do. But driving the ball to the basket or shooting a hook shot is obviously way too much...
And this is why Kevin Garnett, for as good as he is, will always be a fraud.

Because when your down you look for anythng to help out. That means double teams. Never hush the double team it sometimes well always takes Gasol out his game.

Haven't you heard? KG is the only player in history that isn't allowed bad games.

Obviously being known as a 7-foot version of Michael Jordan is more important to him than winning a championship. He displays this on practically every offensive play that he fails to use his size to his team's advantage (pretty much every single one of them).
And at the same time, he tries to fool everybody by putting on his little intensity show, tries to convince people that getting to play his way isn't more important to him than winning.
If this isn't fraud, I don't know what is...
