Comments on: Winderman: Villanueva violated “keep it on the court” code http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/03/winderman-villanueva-violated-%e2%80%9ckeep-it-on-the-court%e2%80%9d-code/ Basketball - NBC Sports Thu, 20 Jun 2013 09:09:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: cuedaddy http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/03/winderman-villanueva-violated-%e2%80%9ckeep-it-on-the-court%e2%80%9d-code/comment-page-1/#comment-29871 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 18:07:34 +0000 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=8733#comment-29871 Winderman, you’re COMPLETELY off-base on this. When Facebook, Twitter and all these other social networks started becoming fashionable among athletes (i.e. T.O., Shaq, Ochocinco, LeBron and OTHERS), it became fair game. Backing KG on this makes you look just as “reprehensible” as him. KG owes Charlie Villanueva and the public an apology.

This whole ‘leave it on the court’ nonsense is similar to the “stop snitching” code that’s used in the inner cities to allow thugs and gangsters to get away with preying on those that are less fortunate. These are grown men. If Garnett needs to act a fool to get himself fired up, then he needs a self-esteem class.

There are lots of other things he could have said. If it wasn’t for his twitter, many people never would have heard about this. There are plenty of other ways to get motivated. Michael Jordan was motivated by his wanting to be the absolute best and never wanting anyone to get the best of him. That should be enough. This trash talk is sophomoric.

Writers like Ira Winderman vilify Charlie Villanueva for tweeting about the horrible remarks made to him by Garnett. It’s one thing to talk trash but to start calling people cancer patients just because he has no hair because of another disease he has is despicable! Cancer is a horrible disease and just about everyone including people in the N.B.A. can say that they have been affected in one way or another by this disease. Their is a line in trash talking and Garnett stepped way over it. This has got to be one of the all time worst articles I have ever read.

Sure, it’s easy to say that what KG said was offensive, but so what? I think a grown man complaining to his Twitter “fans” is a little more worrisome. Some of the best players trash-talk, most don’t. Don’t assume that they are even able to get fired up the same way without it, because they’ll never play as good.

This is the Stupidest comment and article ever. SO this is CV fault? and this coming from a guy that probably never played any sports in his life time. NBC please get this fool off the site! He has no idea what he is talking about. If that was him getting the verbal beat down, I can see him writing it all over the web. Please put the blame with where it belongs On KG.

If you have to trash talk someone to motivate yourself, then you’ve got some serious self-esteem issues. Play the game hard and keep the comments to other players out of it. I respect KG’s work ethic, but you don’t need to smack talk. Oh, and by the way, there is no “code” on this. Not sure where that got pulled out of, but if you want to talk smack, you better be prepared for any consequences that come your way…good or bad.

Defending Garnett is reprehensible. Sheesh.

What if a white player used the “N” word?

My guess is that you would be OK with a black player complaining instead of “keeping it on the court.”

CV was insulted. And KG can slurp the big one, as far as I am concerned.

They should have stopped him years ago when he first started this, this is nothing new for KG. He acts as if he is deranged, like he hasnt taken his meds. I remember him confronting Tim Duncan in the playoffs when he was with Minnesotta with his trash talk and looking at Tim as if he was ready to attack him. Not a pretty site and definitely looks like he has some problems if that is the only way to keep himself focused.

He says someone has cancer and you guys defend “the code”? What is wrong with people these days…
