I can't imagine paying someone $185,000,000, but for him to then say he has nothing good to say about you? That must cut like the sharpest knife there is. Glen Taylor showed a lot of class in not responding in kind to Garnett's comment.

The difference between Garnett and Love, is Love wants the ball at the end of the game, when it's on the line. Garnett couldn't stop shaking and hid at the end of games. They should have dumped him years earlier.

KG is one of the most overrated players in the history of the game. When you make 20+ million dollars a year, you should average more than 19 and 10.. As far as the 4th quarter no-shows throughout his career, there's a reason why Skip Bayless calls him "Gar-NOT."

Love makes Garnett look average. He is a far more talented and complete player than Garnett ever was. The big difference is Love demands the ball at the end of game and is capable of dominating and winning the game. That is something Garnett was never willing or able to do. SInce Garnett is now over the hill and Love is just getting into his prime, tonights game will not be a fair comparison. Love will dominate.

If Hutchinson didn't see the all the late hits on Favre it was because he laying on his back. Just watch the film and they kept coming after the whistle on every play and hit Favre every chance they had, especially on that critical last drive which resulted in the infamous interception. Favre was complaining bitterly to refs as well, and they just looked the other way. Of course when Schiancoe threw a legit hit on their receiver the hankies flew like snow. The refs in that NFC championship game deserve penalties as well.

Garnett - what a special guy, what a pro. The way he'd come out just before tip off, walk toward center court, pound himself on the chest and shout out "Let's GO, mother effer!" Yeah, that was real class. And then to say he has nothing good to say about Taylor, and the team that gave him his chance? Please. Typical of the Stereotype. Overpaid, arrogant, attitude.

KG is the Timberwolves greatest player of all time. He's what all NBA players should be, competitive and plays with passion 110%. KG still Da Man here in Minny!
