I don’t hate KG. But I see him for what he is : washed up! The Celtics will get rid of him because he is soft, embattled, and way overpaid. Other than that I like KG.

“absolute statement”? fine…whatever…i also said in the same sentence…” or he backs off quickly against them”…the key word being “OR” to rebuttal your “absolute statement” comment.
yeah, he does go after everyone…fine…but in the end…the league sees him as a loudmouth…or wind bag…or “all hat no cattle” type player…
and no one is editing stuff. that’s his reputation…AND I LIKE KG. i think KG is a HoFer but the guy jaws off like he has some shortcomings about whatever…

Yeah I do remember him in Sota like I said. You said “He never yells at big guys.” That is an absolute statement. KG yells at everyone. You said “He was only aggressive to smaller players.” Again you make it sound like its all he does. Its not true. He goes after everyone. People put a youtube video and edit to their liking because they hate a player, people join the bandwagon, comments are said, reputation started. This is not just true for KG. Most popular players receive this treatment. There is not UFC fighters in the NBA. They are not gonna box. Get over it. This whole “tough guy” or “clutch” or whatever label people like to provide on players, is just one thing: An empty label.

So getting beat up by a few bouncers (meaning more than one) Means he’s not tough?!?!?! The league is soft nowadays. In some cases you cant even look at some of these guys. Do you think LaBron would be able to run over those guys back in the day like he does now?!?!?! He wouldnt have lasted against those Piston’s or thoes Knick teams. Much like the NFL, the NBA has gotten soft. If you didnt like Oakleys antics back then, why applaud a guy that tries to Intimdate people just like he did.

no…i think KG’s issue is he “barks” a lot…talks a lot of crap on the floor but everyone knows he is a paper-tiger…and he has been called out before…and he has quickly backed off each time. i think players just get sick off his smack and in-your-face attitude because they know he is a wimp but he continues to jaw away.
i respect KG…the guy is a HoFer…but he must be doing something wrong…i mean MJ jawed off to anyone and everybody took it.

KG has a reputation of “jawing off” to smaller and pacified players. he never yells at big guys or he backs off quickly against them. this is NOT internet rumor but the truth. NBA plyers make this accusation through out his carreer. you say you followed KG (since ‘sota) for a while so i’m not sure how you never noticed?
and were not talking about physically fighting per se…but more about mouthing off, tanglements under the boards, light shoving, etc…he was only aggressive towards “smaller” players.

KG was always good, But G.O.A.T, Naw I’ll pass. For all of that screaming and Yelling, He’s still wasnt better than Karl Malone, Barkley, Duncan, Rodman, Nowitzki, McHale or Kareem Adul Jabbar.. I’m just saying…

Charlie Villanueva told KG the very samething to his face and told him to meet him outside for calling him a cancer baby. Needless to say, KG didnt take him up on his offer, LOL

o2chaser — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:40:55 +0000

Blah blah – this is more a internet reputation and band wagon arguing about KG then any truth to it. What players has he hit?(and please dont say a screen). Please provide proof before you spread BS. What player actually gets in a fight in the NBA without getting suspended? Yeah KG has some antics, but this whole idea of him having this rep is ludicrous. I have watched him since the Sota days and he has not changed.

yeah Oakley you were such a tough guy….like the team u sucker punched Jeff McGinnis while he was sitting on the bench… real tough…

your garbage game of dirty tactics wouldn’t make it in today’s NBA.. Players can’t get away with the cheapshots you did back in your day.. therefore they might not look like so called “tough guys”

remember when you thought you were tough in Vegas and tried to force your way into the VIP section and the bouncers whooped your arse… oh yeah your the tough guy that sued them…

I can only figure he’s running low on funds and he’s hoping somebody will give him a job somewhere…. obviously he’s jealous of Barkley and what he’s been able to do for himself..

what a bum

Everybodys’ a wuss except for me, Charles Oakley!
What a freakin’ joke! Yeah Oak, you were a tough guy in your time, with limited basketball IQ and even more limited basketball skills. You got by because you played a physical brand of ball, big effin’ deal! Players like you are a dime a dozen; come into a game, rough some people up, corral a few loose rebounds, score a few garbage points, then thump your chest like your some legit tough guy. I ain’t buyin’ it! And yeah, I saw your teams play back in the day! That was some butt ugly basketball! Nowadays, you actually have to have some skill! Oak, in today’s league you’d be a scrub, the guy they put in the game to collect a few cheap fouls! Get over yourself already!

Funny seeing how many KG haters there are.
I bet every single one of you wishes you had him on your team.
He carried that pathetic T Wolves team to the WCF single handed.

He’s one of the hardest working, toughest, psychologically controlling players of all time.
He is one of the greatest defenders in the history of basketball and still punks bitches like Charles Oakley on a nightly basis in the NBA at age 35.
Charles is just jealous because he isn’t half the man, the talent and doesn’t have an ounce of the heart that Kevin Garnett does.

In 50 years time who’s gonna remember Charles Oakley? Maybe Spike Lee and New York Knicks die hards? The IRS for all the money he owes them? This guy is already broke, trying to sue a casino for getting his ass beaten for acting up like the ‘bitch’ that he’s calling these guys.
Looks like KG got inside Oakley’s head too.
KG is one of the GOAT’s.
Keep hating while KG makes 21 million as a reward for years of hard work and hustle that most of you losers couldn’t dream of conjuring up.

Oakley is dead on. Scottie Pippen told Barkley he was fat and didn’t work hard enough for a championship while they were together in Houston. Well said. Go get in trouble Charles. And run your loud mouth.

For me screaming and scowling doesn’t make KG a tough guy. But hitting smaller players and running away when they fight back makes him a wuss.

Morons… If KG was a paper tough guy why doesnt he get punked on that crap…….Like EVER…. NBA full of dudes that would eat KG up on that crapif he was fake.. Fact is that very few have tested him after 16 years….For a reason…. Old Oak Tree cant even hang on as an Assistant coach on the Worst Team basketball has ever seen….Stay relevant when you were a boarderline good NBA player, talking about a Hall of Famer, and a Future First Ballot Hall of Famer…With a Ring…. Jealous Old Man talk
