So KG doesn't care about winning?
Your mic is off dude. Have a nice life in Wonderland, cause that's obviously where you live.
Maybe he cares about winning. But not nearly as much as he does about getting to play his way.
And you've made no attempt to refute this idea, instead only telling me I'm crazy.
Because a view isn't widely held that makes the person that holds it crazy? Why does KG get a free pass on his selfishness when so many other players don't?

I just hate when people use G35's logic and say "Team X played so bad, but they're only down _ points"..it doesn't work that way..you can't just assume that the team is going to play better..a good example is that the 3 times I noticed G35 said it(involving my teams) he was wrong..
I feel bad for Kobe's wife..she has to sit there and act like Kobe didn't hurt her like he did..

Doc could easily run a play to get KG on the block, and when he does, he goes to work.... so why doesn't he?

KG is selfish?
I'm not going to try to refute something that is obviously not true. Not aggressive? Probably. Soft? Possibly. Selfish?

Watters- where would you rank KG in top big men in the NBA and players in general? curious..
Hard to say, because the league is so situational.
I think a true MVP candidate, a true top 5 player in the league, HAS to be able to carry the load offensively and hit a big shot.
However, the rest of his resume stacks up against anybody else out there incapable of being an offensive leader.
IMO, KG probably played most of his career between #5 and #10 in the league, with most of his seasons closer to #10 than #5.

Really? I thought the knock on KG has always been that he's always trying to defer to his teammates instead of taking the game over when his team needs him.

Of course, you want to limit selfishness to "ballhogging" only.
There are other types of selfishness, you know.
Like Rodman and his antics on the Bulls.
Like staying out late the night before a game.
Like Garnett putting getting to play his preferred style of play over his team's chances of winning.
So please, explain to me how Garnett deliberately doing much less for his teams chances than he very easily could ISN'T selfish...
