Spike Lee Thinks Kevin Garnett Is A Jerk. Also, The Sky Is Blue And Water Is Wet.

KG really needs to just get popped in the mouth

One thing that we love around here is when someone, whether it's a fellow player, coach, analyst or fan, calls out Kevin Garnett for the weak-minded, pompous ass that he is.  And when someone does that, we love posting about it.

Look, you pretty much have to admit that Kevin Garnett is a big time asshole, no matter who you are.  Even if you're a Boston Celtics fan or a KG fan, I don't care.  You have to be delusional if you can't admit that Garnett is a jerk.  Some Celtic fans can admit it, and some cannot.  In fact, there is so much evidence of Garnett's antics out there, that you could probably start a whole website devoted to just how big of a jerk KG is.  And you would have something to write about most every day of the season.  Trust me, we've thought about it a time or two ourselves.  Someone has probably already beat us to the punch with that idea, actually.  But that is neither here nor there.

For an avid KG-hater, like we are, Spike Lee's interview with ESPN New York was like music to our ears.

And suddenly, Spike Lee seemed like much cooler of a guy to us.  This is what he says about the last time the Celtics visited Madison Square Garden:

"But this last time against Boston -- you know that game where they disallowed Stoudemire’s 3? -- Kevin Garnett lost it. He was cursing me out for no reason. Maybe because Stoudemire gave him 39 points, but take that vulgarity to Stoudemire. I'm not holding you and I did not even say s*** to Garnett the whole game. That really surprised me. He lost it. He was cursing at me the whole game. He needs to calm the f*** down."

"I hate the Celtics, but look, they've got good guys on that team. I've got friends on that team. Nate’s on the team. But Garnett needs to calm the f*** down. There's no reason he should be cursing at me the way he did the last game. So you can put that in the article. It was disrespectful and I would never do nothing like that to him."

"So if you're mad, start cursing out STAT, Stoudemire. But you're not going to do that s*** because Stoudemire’s not going to take it. So he cursed at me and I’m 5-6½, 150. What he was saying was worse than Reggie Miller. It was uncalled for."

Just great stuff there on how over-the-top Garnett can be.  And it's interesting -- and this point has been made before  --  that Garnett is always picking on guys that are smaller than him.  Always.  Go back and check the tape, if you don't believe me.  He'll never challenge a bigger name than him on the court. 

What a tough guy, huh?
