That's hilarious. The Lakers suck. I want to wash KG's car.

Objectively, I don't think I'd care very much for KG as a human being, and I definitely don't think I'd like him if I was a fan of another team.

That said, I love the "KG is a bully" story line, because it's clear that he's getting into opponents' heads, without having it affect his game.   

I love that one of the first themes of the NBA Twitter era is a whole lot of people griping about what a jerk KG is.

I wouldn't want KG signing autographs even if it was a cancer patient who looks like a younger Charlie Villanueva serving as an honorary ball boy for the Lakers through the Make-a-Wish Foundation.  I would want KG to tell that hypothetical kid that he should have wished to be a Celtics ball boy.

I have mixed feelings. KG never gives autographs, so he better not give one to a Laker ball boy. But the answer was pretty mean.

In the end, the kid chose to work for the Lakers and KG currently hates the Lakers, so I am fine with the comment. It is good to see a Celtic hate the Lakers.

lol when I first heard about this I was laughing... I mean big who cares. That with the comment he made to the kid will make him a bigger enemy to those who hate him... Noah... Charlie V.  But oh well... KG is KG and he's awesome. I've been a fan of his since his Wolves days.

Watching last night's game I was thinking if there has been a team of "older" players playing this hard during the regular season...usually the NBA is all about the playoffs.

I don't know how this thing is going to end, but this regular season has been incredibly entertaining.

I love that KG would not sign that ball. It's just the right amount of edge that is making this thing happening here so engaging.

I really don't want to miss a single game.

Since I've gotten to know KG a little through these incidents that make the news, I have to say I really don't like him as a human being. He is a bully and I abhore bullies. To me the worst thing anyone can do is be cruel to a child.

With that said, I'm loving him on our team. We need his intensity. But I wouldn't let my child near him.

Don't really know how old the ball "boy" is but aren't they usually middle school kids? I don't think what KG said was really that bad. Is it because of what he said about Bin laden? If the kid asked him to sign something and KG just said No would it be as big a deal? If anything I think he is making a light of it.
