KG with one of the more entertaining pressers ever.

[nickagneta]

KG slammed the owner of the Atlanta Hawks.

KG slammed the reporters in the room, their age and lack of hair.

KG slammed the misinformation reported regarding his age and told them to look up his age.

KG completely avoided answering a question regarding Ryan Hollins.

KG slams Gary Washburn for his comment about playing well just the last 35 games of the year.

I don't think the Celtics like Gary Washburn since his op-ed like piece on Ray Allen, his unhappiness, his causing problems in the locker room and other garbage. When they announced who would be asking the next question Rondo and KG looked at each other and gave each other a knowing smile. Before Washburn could finish the question KG went off about how insulted he was about Washburn's question and asked Rondo to tap him isf he was out of line. Rondo just shock his head no and smiled.

When I or anyone can post a video do so. Its highly entertaining.

Also: KG for the first time ever admits that he doesn't know if this is his last year playing or not.

WOW!!

CSNNE.

You have to watch the whole presser. Watch KGs eyes during certain times.

He jokes with Jackie MacMullen but just unloads on Gary Washburn.

Comments after Washburn asks about the last 35 games goes something like:

" I don't mean to sound out of line and maybe you(looks at Rondo) can tap me if I am(Rondo shakes his head no and smiles) but I put a lot into my craft. I put a lot of time and dedication into what I do and i find it a bit disrespectful to be questioning me regarding my play for just the last 35 games...."

And on he went.

Although it's not the whole thing

It was great–in order to watch, you can just look after the game on the NBA website live feed.

The really entertaining part that says a lot is the looks Rondo and KG give each other after they announce Gary Washburn. Its not on this video.

Here's a youtube clip:

Unfortunately the streams are only available live, and the NBA only shows recaps. This is as close as you'll get.

Sorry didn't realize someone posted the youtube clip earlier. I am looking over the internet for KG's insults–hysterical.

what was the Hollins question that he avoided?

[nickagneta]

what was the Hollins question that he avoided?

Can you say a little something about the other players that don't play that much that contributed to this game? Discuss what Ryan Hollins contributed to this win. Something like that.

After talking for 5 straight minutes he looked away down and to his right away from Rondo and just said nothing. After an uncomfortable pause with no one answering Rondo fielded the question and said some stuff but very little specifically about Hollins.

[Senninsage]

If more players had KG's kind of passion and dedication, it would be beyond scary. Just beyond scary.

Just saw it on NBA TV.

There were some looks exchanged between KG and Rondo when Washburn asked his question about the last 35 games. But, I didn't get the sense that KG's pointed response was directed specifically to Washburn himself, but to everyone who's writing that KG might be washed up or over the hill ("I don't read y'all's stuff, but it gets back to me.").

The question about Hollins and other bench players was directed to both KG and Rondo. KG looked to me like he wanted to give Rondo a chance to speak, and Rondo took the opportunity to confirm that Hollins, MP, and everyone stepped it up ("every possession matters"). Rondo specifically lauded the fact that it was Hollins who got the Celtics the "extra possession" that led to KG's big basket.

Maybe you are right about KG letting Rondo field a question but I don't know. It was pretty obvious Rondo didn't want to be there from his body language and its just as clear that the people wanted KG to say more once he went off on the hawks owner.

The question came up about Hollins and KG just looked in the other direction and shut up.

Rondo did say a couple good things about Hollins but deflected it to everyone on the bench.

Maybe I am reading more into the announcement of Washburn but pay attention to KG's eyes when he looks in that direction and it is announced it is Washburn. The before Washburn asks his question watch the exchange between Rondo and KG.

I thought the question rather innocuous but KG cuts him short and starts his thing. Maybe you are right but I have heard things that Washburn isn't sitting pretty in the eyes of the players just now from a Globe writer my son knows.
