Why garnett called big ticket

Another example of this dangerous behavior occurred just last night when the Celtics found themselves behind late in the fourth quarter against the underdog Golden State Warriors. With one minute and 20 seconds left in the game and Boston trailing by nine points, Garnett threw his body in front of the Warriors' Marco Belinelli, injuring the young guard. He then jawed with Belinelli until the game concluded and ended up looking like a sore loser.

While the NBA has suspended him once, they must continue to punish Garnett. He seems to think he is above the rules and the officials have only affirmed this with their no-calls. What other player could bark, scream, or point in a player's face without being called for a technical? If the NBA was indeed, "keeping an eye" on Garnett, wouldn't he be getting called for taunting or thrown out of games for leveling much smaller players?

There is no question that the Celtics are a talented team and Garnett is a huge reason for their success. He's one of the best big men in the league and until this season, had the respect and support of myself as well as many other basketball fans. But with his recent behavior, he has become very hard to root for and his descent from fan favorite to bully has been tough on those who once cheered for him. But it is what it is and clearly Garnett isn't going to change his ways.

That is why the NBA needs to take a stand and show him that no matter how much his team continues to win, he can't disregard all rules and mistreat his peers. As with any bully, he needs to be punished for his actions and watched closely to make sure he is behaving. While he has surely changed, suspending Garnett may just show us the extent of his transformation.

Would he continue to act out if his actions were hurting his team? If Kevin is the ultimate competitor whose intensity just gets out of control at times, isn't taking him away from the game the perfect way to show him that he has been crossing the line and it will not be tolerated?

If he stops, these altercations will be a thing of the past and Garnett can work on fixing his tarnished image. But if he continues to cause problems, we'll all see that he clearly wasn't the passionate, team oriented player that we once thought and as disapointing as this would be, at least basketball will have removed the bully from the playground.

A player quick on his feet with a large wingspan and a nice touch from the perimeter would typically make up the qualities of the future big men of the league. However, KG might have stretched himself here because one thing that separates great players from good players is the drive to improve and succeed. For the former first-round draftee, it has been a tough climb.

Maker failed to live up to the hype surrounding his name. He has suffered from groin, ankle, and shoulder injuries from to KG played tough basketball and had grit which was unparalleled. The fact that he never was shy to face any type of competition, is what set him apart from his opponents. Skipping college and entering the league as a young year-old, The Big Ticket took no time to make an impact on the floor.

Throughout his year career, Garnett built one of the most decorated resumes ever. Apart from being one of the best big men in league history, KG is widely even considered as the best trash-talkers in modern basketball.

Garnett not only had a physically dominant and tough game, but he would also like to belittle his opponents by getting their head with his trash-talking abilities. It is not an unknown fact that he would swear and embarrass a lot of players with his words.
