Embrace the Weekend: KG Says F%(K Your Rookies

First, it was a great TBJ week, and it was capped off with Tas and Skeets selecting our very own Kevin Garnett for their Wanker of the Week:

Ep. 471: Pau Pow!!! from The Basketball Jones on Vimeo.

The story says that KG was at a commercial shoot at Conseco Fieldhouse this summer, and when he was asked by a Pacers assistant on his way out to meet the Pacers rookies Tyler Hansborough and AJ Price he responded by saying "Fuck your rookies!" and walking out.

I love this story. Unless by "meet" this assistant coach met "have sex with their wives", I'm not exactly sure what he was expecting. People can hate KG all they want, but I stick to my guns that he hasn't changed a bit. He's always been this way, and he was appreciated for it when he was in Minnesota. The only thing that's changed is the quality of his teammates and the size of the market he plays in. People can say what they want, they wish they had guys like this on their team.

Cs at Magic tonight. Fuck their rookies too....and their veterans....and their ron jeremy look alike coach.


And, as if you needed more, don't forget that the world's greatest band will be playing at the Middle East on Saturday night (I know I've posted the Gnashing several times lately...I guess sometimes a song does that to you):

Embrace The Weekend: Be Afraid, NBA.

KG had successful knee surgery this week, which means that Cleveland and Orlando had better enjoy this moment they have right now, because they will not get off so easy next year. To those who say that KG is all done, and really to all those people that have been trying to knock him down over the past two months, I'd like to submit this 90 second video clip to express how I feel about you and your beliefs:







I've wrote several times on this site about what a great album Live Through This is. You can say that Hole sucked, and I can't argue with you. But that one album, Live Through This, was the epitome of catching lightning in a bottle (which is why I suspect Kurt Cobain played a heavy hand in it). Anyways, enjoy the weekend everyone:

Embrace The Weekend.

Pitt looked like shit. Louisville is sucking it up right now. Things are looking ripe for the Huskies, and I'm looking forward to seeing another banner raised in Storrs. And, on the flip side, we've got KG returning tonight in an epic matchup. I was there when we lost to these fuckers on a Sunday afternoon. I want blood tonight.

Great Herald piece here. I always knew Tony Parker was an asshole. You can also see him being dry and boring on this basketball jones interview from All-Star weekend.


And, for this embrace the weekend, I want to listen to Alone by Heart....don't judge me. KG is clearly singing it in the above picture.
