LYNN ZINSER's an idiot
The NYT is turning into a tabloid.
Lynn Zinser, a "reporter" for the NYT lumps KG with Moss. In article titled "Moss and Garnett Vie for the Wrong Kind of Attention" http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/05/sports/football/05leading.html?src=mv
She says "Over in the N.B.A. tent, Garnett did his best to draw all your eyes to his act. As Adrian Wojnarowski writes on Yahoo.com, Garnett has always been the league’s biggest bully, but got called on it when Detroit’s Charlie Villanueva announced via Twitter that Garnett had referred to him as a “cancer patient,” in reference to the alopecia that costs Villanueva his hair. Garnett issued a statement claiming his comment was actually that Villanueva was a “cancer to his team and the league,” although as Mitch Lawrence writes on Foxsports.com, almost no one believes him. Even if that’s what he said, writes J.A. Adande on ESPN.com, it’s time to ditch the cancer metaphor in sports once and for all and David Whitley writes on Fanhouse.com, in another era someone would have just decked Garnett. Conversely, Dan Shaughnessy writes in the Boston Globe that in sporting circles, Villanueva is actually the bad guy because he broke the code of keeping trash talk on the court."
First of all, Garnett did not trash talk to get people's attention, CV tweeted it. and Doc's not a liar...too much character for that...he would have said KG mispoke and shouldnt have said it, if it was true.
This kind of unaccountability in "reporting" ticks me off...you can't respond to her post...so I'm doing it here!
Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Yea KG didn't want attention your right, if CV never tweets this none of us ever knows about this
But To say Doc rivers isn’t a liar would be false, he’s a grown man, he’s no saint, everyone lies.
The thing that makes me tend to believe KG on this
is that ‘You are a cancer patient!" just doesn’t sound mean enough.
“You are a cancer to your team and the NBA!” sounds much more insulting and more likely something that KG would say.
Boy is this a stupid non-issue.
to be honest, calling him a cancer patient sounds more believable than cancer to the team.
poking fun of a guy’s appearance would be worse than metaphorically calling him a cancer to the team. Besides, why would he necessarily point that out? The only reason I can think of for KG coming up with a retort like that is if CV told him he was “overrated” or an “old has-been”. But neither of which are true and I can’t imagine a guy on an 0-5 team chiding the leader of the prevailing East Cost champions. Unless maybe this confrontation was initiated by CV ripping on another player, maybe Wafer?
Moisture is the essense of wetness, and wetness is the essense of beauty.
but I do think CV needs to man up and stop acting like a whiny little schoolgirl
Moisture is the essense of wetness, and wetness is the essense of beauty.
it's just her annoying style..
honestly look at her other articles, she covers sports
like it’s politics or celebrity news. nothing at all of substance
all about controversy and chatter.
just right for the worst paper in the world, the New York Times.
