And The KG Hate Continues

Ok, I get it. People really love to hate Kevin Garnett right now.  He's too this... to that... he curses too much.  But I think calling KG the "worst person in the world" is a bit much.

Every time the camera flashes to Garnett, sitting on the sideline because he's too hurt to play, Garnett is doing one of two things. He's either a) sticking his chin out in a defiant mean-mug that at this point just looks stupid, especially from SOMEONE SITTING ON THE BENCH IN A SUIT, or b) raining down a host of obscenities, usually at Bulls players.

He goes on to call KG a d-bag.  In fact, the sub-headline calls him the biggest d-bag on the floor.

As far as I'm concerned... you can hate who you want to hate.  Wanna hate KG?  Fine.  Lord knows I've tossed the d-bag tag on plenty of people (and there are more to come).  But what I find funny is how much people hate the once-lovable Kevin Garnett.  Has his demeanor changed at all from when he was in Minnesota?  I'm pretty sure it hasn't.  But what has changed is his spotlight.  People aren't rooting for him to get a ring anymore... so they can now decide that what was once "intensity" is now "douchebaggery."  Add to it the fact that people really hate Boston (probably because this is usually my response to them hating us) and you suddenly have the wave of KG love turning into KG hate.

But to those people, I just have to say:  check yourself.  If you loved how he acted before, then you can't hate him for it now.  That's just being fickle.  It comes off as bitter and jealous.
