It’s Kevin Garnett Character Assassination Day here at Unathletic!
Asked if he felt Garnett should be suspended, Noah went even stronger with his criticism.
“I don’t make the decisions,” Noah said. “But he’s always swinging elbows man. I’m hurting right now because of an elbow he threw. It’s unbelievable. He’s a dirty player. It’s one thing to be competitive and compete. But don’t be a dirty player man. He’s a dirty player.
“That’s messed up. I’m really excited about that (Heat-Celtics) series. It’s going to be fun. I hope they put (Jamaal) Magloire in.”
Jamaal Magloire is a rarely-used big man for the Heat, with the obvious implication that he would foul Garnett hard.
“He knows what he’s doing,” Noah said. “It’s messed up. It’s wrong. It’s not right. And then after that to say . . . whatever I shouldn’t even be talking about this stuff. It’s crazy.”
Well, Garnett was indeed suspended, so Noah got his wish. Many of you may be asking why the hell Noah is running is mouth when he’s not even involved in the series, but Noah was stealing passes and dunking all over Paul Pierce’s Bettlejuice face last season, so it’s not like he doesn’t walk the walk.
But more importantly, it’s pretty amazing how Kevin Garnett, im just a matter of like four seasons, went from one of the most likable, charismatic guys in the NBA to totally insufferable and someone that everyone roots against. I used to absolutely love the guy and the way he played ball, but now, it’s impossible to not view him as a punk. Like Noah said, he’s dirty, and he’s always trying to intimidate smaller players who never really buy into his bullshit, anyway.
