Celtics fans are a funny bunch. Kevin Garnett gets away with much worse on a daily basis. ie: His elbows, illegal screens, cheap shots. Why does he do this? To get inside a players head.
Wade hasn't broken any rules.
To me, this was a smart move and Wade is trying to get inside Bibby's (and the Knicks) heads.
Just throw it out the way and buy yourself some time.
People on this forum are very one eyed, which is understandable, but if KG did this no one here would blink an eye.
Wade is one of the smartest players in the NBA. If Bibby's shoe is on the court in front of him, he'll make Bibby go get it.
I would hope Pierce would do the same to Wade or Lebron if the situation arose. Get em' nice and angry. There are much worse things than this.
Lol.. You my friend.... are overreacting. Seems like you took this thread as an opportunity to bash Celticsbloggers... you could go to another site you know.
As for the Wade incident, I'm all for competitive advantages.. Bibby shoulda tied his shoe better, like c'mon that's kindergarten stuff..
And I love everything KG does. From the elbows, to the cheap shots, to the swearing.. It's all in the name of competition. And it's not like KG is the only one doing these kind of things..
It's been going on since professional basketball started so.. theres that. Where do u think KG learned it from? The veterans that he used to play against when he was younger.....
I feel this is more an issue of human nature than anything else.. In competition, humans will always try to get an advantage.. If you want to win, thats what its going to take.
