If Kevin Garnett has air in his lungs, you can bet he’s going to be intense. You already know on the court he’s like that and according to Adrian Wojnarowski at Yahoo! Sports during lockout negotiations, he’s liable to pick up a personal foul for taunting too.
This fight has grown nastier, more personal, in the past weeks. Privately, management insists that everything changed when the Boston Celtics’ Kevin Garnett walked into the negotiating room on Oct. 4. The owners knew it wouldn’t go well when Garnett started glowering across the table, sources said, like the league lawyers, owners and officials were opponents at the center jump. He was defiant, determined and downright ornery. He was K.G. Everyone knew Hunter had to cede to the wishes of the stars, and the stars demanded that the players stop making concessions to the owners. As one league official said, “We were making progress, until Garnett [expletive] everything up.”
Yikes! It’s highly unlikely that KG could impact two sides that cruised pass 100 days in lockout negotiations without a deal in place before he even arrived that much, but who knows. Like this awesome abstract KG piece by artist Kim Min Suk that is defined by making its own rules, anything is possible.
