101 Ways To Say "KG is Intense"

by Jeff Clark on Nov 14, 2007 4:00 PM EST in Boston Celtics News & Links

Bill Simmons picks the Celtics to be first in the East. No surprise there. Also no surprise is that Simmons spent most of the paragraph on the C's talking about how intense KG is. I think we've officially ran out of ways of saying it.

Reason No. 12,366 why I love the NBA: You can't even imagine KG's crazed demeanor during these home games in Boston with a great crowd pumping him up. He looks like Jonathan Papelbon coming out of the bullpen with a one-run lead, only he stays like that for two and a half solid hours. It's incredible. His teammates are alternately enthralled and terrified by him, and honestly, so are the fans. He's a man on a mission. He's possessed. He's a borderline lunatic. Remember when Ronnie Lott had half of a broken pinky amputated so he wouldn't miss the '85 playoffs? You get the feeling that KG would do the same so he wouldn't miss a mid-January home game against the Hornets.

I don’t know about anybody else, but i thought KG had his worst game so far as a Celtic last night. And he still ends up with a double double and plays good d on O’Neal. This dude is better than advertised, and that’s saying a lot. I’d forgotten he was an MVP, but he is quickly reminding everyone that Kobe, Wade, Nowitzki, Bron, and the rest of the bunch should move over. There is a new king of the NBA and he’s wearing GREEN!!!!

Oh yeah, i’m just waiting for his head to explode on one of those patented Garnett screams. AWESOME!!!!!

Bill Simmons was my favorite sports writer for a while but the last few years he’s not been the same. As he became more and more famous he kind of lost touch with the Boston sports scene IMO. He’s almost a pink hat at this point, lol… Just my two cents. It’s kind of annoying to see everyone quoting him and referencing him like he has an important point of view, he doesn’t. The only thing he brought to the table was humor and now that is, for the most part, no longer part of the equation.
