KG was as high profile as you can be in Minny. Which is remarkable when you consider his team’s lack of playoff success and the competition at PF (Brand, Dirk, Duncan, Amare, etc) in the Western Conference.

Now that’s he’s a Champ and in a huge Sports town with rabid media coverage, his every breath is considered. I put down all of this recent coverage as Media backlash. The ‘success’ thing is now tired for the press. They decided it’s time for a new angle.

I concur with the observations about Antoine Walker—must be a slow morning. I’m not sure this is worth one post, much less two in three days.

People just like to beat down a winner. KG is what he is. Let it be. I wonder how many Celtic fans are upset with the way KG plays and what he needs to do for himself to get him to play the way he does. Of course I hated it when he played for the T’Wolves, but only saw it twice a year. He had a verbal run in with Perk the year before he came to Boston. Perk probably didn’t like it then, but he sure loves it now. The chemistry between these two is incredible, similar to that between Dave Cowens and Paul Silas. I doubt Perk is holding a grudge. So let’s get on to something else.

A lot of folks here are too young. Cowens was at least as intense as KG and would have been suspended for months for something like the Mike Newlin incident nowadays.The “now THAT was a …foul!” incident. His fellow players said as Russ would cross the baseline that he turned into Dracula. Bird was probably the most intense guy on those 80’s teams other than Ainge and he wasn’t anything at all like KG so this is the first time a lot of our fans have seen us with a guy like this. I am not tired of KG’s “act” and never will be. I am SO grateful that we have had the chance to see it and I hope it lasts longer than it would seem is possible

kg is kg and one smart man. where would we be without him?
