This "story" is simply hilarious.

I'm not surprised that a guy who was raised with every advantage (like Noah) wants others to "be sweet", not "mean" - but why bring it to the media in an interview? And, as others have pointed out, playing the "ugly" card is completely lame, even if you're Rick Fox (or Brian Scalabrine)...

Noah's mouth is almost as big as KG's - and we'll see who gets the last laugh...

Noah shouldn't call anybody ugly. Quasimodo thinks Noah is ugly.

the hate is a form of flattery :)

back in the day, you hated your opponents and they hated you right back....i like this

I think its either Flattery or Jealousy.  the one thing i dont get is Noah calling somebody else ugly.

All I can think of is I'd love to see KG and Noah on the front line together.  It'd be ridiculous on the court, and we'd lead the league in jersey sales just from people buying them to burn in effigy.

i got from his remarks that he referred to kg's character as ugly, not physical appearance
You are probably right.  I don't have a problem with what Noah said.  The guy speaks his mind and doesn't try to be politically correct.  It's like someone complaining about the jerk they work with. 

Noah has shown animosity toward the great Lebron, KG, etc... I actually like it on his part.  No picking the easy targets for Noah.

Well that's if you consider LJ and KG in same stratosphere.  I can understand ragging on LJ what has ever done (except promote himself) but, Noah's career consists of never winning a playoff series.  It's similar CharlieV ragging on KG...

Newsflash. Nobody likes KG. I don't even think KG likes KG.
Naw I dont know about that.  I really do think KG is the man. 

Me and my friends have a way of judging whether we like the personality of an athlete/celeb:  Would you go to six flags with that person?

The winner is obviously Shaq (with Will Ferrell coming a close second). 

But the answer to KG is YES.  I would TOTALLY go to 6 flags with KG.

I honestly do think KG is a kind, friendly, charming person.  When he steps onto the bball court he turns his swag on and becomes a certified G and genuinely doesn't know any other way to be.


I wouldn't go to 6 flags with Shaq because I doubt they let him on the majority of the rides, with his huge frame and all

Another job well done by KG he got in another guy's head for the season.You didn't hear C.Bosh complaining when Shaq called him the Rue Paul of the league last season. :)

Noah bugs me, but he has become a very good NBA player.  I thought he would struggle in the NBA, and Ty Thomas would be the stud. Got it backwards.

I will say that Chicago-Boston is turning into quite the bloodfeud (not necessarily a rivalry, yet).  I like it.  The Bulls absolutely hate the Celtics.

I respect Noah's view of KG since KG is a bad person on the court, but it is important to separate his lack of class on the court with his character off the court. KG seems like a great guy off the court.

Has KG ever talked trash about anyone in an interview? He leaves all the nonsense in the game.

As long as he's not trying to deliberately undercut or the sort of thing that injures players (Bowen) I don't mind that.
