Garnett is intense and can get penetrate a guy's head. He also has an extreme case of Tourette's syndrome, which I happen to find amusing. Chris Tucker, on the other hand, is just plain annoying.

Speaking of Bogut, I always laugh when I see this. It defines how incredibly idiotic it is when these days, everybody gives everybody else handslaps and pats on the ass when a guy is at the free throw line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc11PUnFgkQ&feature=related Come to think of it, Garnett was suspended a game this year for "punking" Andrew Bogut.

Nearly half of the season was gone, Minnesota was three games over .500 and still in the playoff hunt. They had absolutely nothing but Garnett. The guy is emotional, but he ain't stupid. If Garnett swings his fist instead of hitting McDyess with the ball, he's suspended for who knows how long instead of just one game, and the Timberwolves immediately flush their entire season down the toilet. That game was tied with five minutes left. That game also ended up being their fifth overtime game within a 17-day span. Without Garnett there would have been zero overtimes, because they would have lost before the game even reached the fourth quarter. terje, it makes more sense if you look at it within the context of that game and that season.

I never said it's healthy or wise to rev on the red line every minute of every moment of every day, you're going to either burn out or give yourself a heart attack by age 40. I just admire his competitive intensity. I admire the way he can get inside an opponent's head, I admire the way he can get inside a teammate's head. I hate the word, but it's organic, it's obviously not a guy pretending to be something that he's not. Sh*t, the guy made Glen Davis, HIS OWN TEAMMATE, literally weep tears on the bench just by using words. What, just because he's intense 100% of the time doesn't change my opinion of him.

That's what I admire most about the guy. terje, if the Bulls had a dude who was 20-feet-tall and weighed 3,000 pounds, and that guy also happened to be torching the Celtics in the playoffs like Gordon has been doing, Garnett wouldn't be doing anything differently than what you see in that photo.
