Saw the tweet by JJ Adande, which didn't say it was a Lakers ball boy. Was about to be a little disappointed in KG, but now...not so much lol.

You know the media is going to make a huge deal out of this though. Especially after that PHX debacle.

@SpearsNBAYahoo When asked by a Lakers ballboy to sign a ball, KG said: "You got a better chance of catching Bin Laden


Sorry, but that's just about the funniest thing I've read/heard since... well, since a Bill Maher article.

Celtics fan for life.

I know you're one of the few people who sticks up for LeBron on this blog...like the time someone posted a video about him throwing his jersey while the the guy had his hand stretched out. If I'm not mistaken you didn't find anything wrong with it (not faulting you for having a different opinion)....so, why does this bother you?

I think you are mistaken - I have no recollection of what you're talking about.

Yeah, stiffing a ballboy is really a reflection of his "intensity".

it's a reflection of his pride for his team and how seriously he takes the rivalry and the game 7 loss last year. I would have been pretty disappointed in him if he was signing autographs for the lakers ball boys to be honest.

You are equating autographs with intensity? I don't even know what you are trying to say...anyway, hate on him if you have to...but find another tweet...this is not worthy of any hate.

I suggest Channing Frye's twitter, if he has one.

This is "Vintage KG"

If you didnt know this buy now, he does stuff like this, and has for his entire career.

Hes a bully. Get over it. And I love him for it.

For the people that have a problem with this is the problem with him denying an autograph? Or is it with what he said?

There are people who don't always just give out autographs.

I love KG.

yeah sure, he should have signed the ball for the kid, but his emotions got in the way, which is why i am so happy he is a Celtic now.

actually i think Kevin Garnett has always been a Celtic - he just didn't know it until he got here.

Since when do opponents at arenas have to sign autographs for opposing fans, let alone ball boys of your most hated rival? I know that Laker fans think it's a prick move but at least he wasn't in the same situation as Kobe was in Colorado...
