No he hasn't, he has taken responsiblity for it and he has moved on.get over it, you god damn bum.
If Kevin Garnett is a bum, what are you?Your team sucks. What does KG want?
He wants to be a part of something special. He puts more hours into his job then you do in yours, if you even have a job. The guy has worked his ass off since he was 13 years old and even with the millions of dollars he has locked up in his bank account he keeps fighting and keeps playing hard because of his love of the game. He's frustrated that his team is losing. Do you want him to be happy? I thought we wanted athletes who care about the game and want to win? Now we are going to crictize them when they get upset for losing?"I hate this place i wanna leave" "i never wanted to leave"
You use quotation marks, yet Kevin Garnett never said those words. He has never said he hates Minnesota. He loves Minnesota and he wants to stay in Minnesota. He is loyal to the state and to the franchise. He loves the community and he loves the fans. He has never said he wanted out. What Kevin Garnett are you listening to?"god damn it, i don't wanna rebuild waaaaaaah, i wanna leave"
He doesn't want to go through another rebuilding stage, so what? The city and the state doesn't want to go through another rebuilding stage. We have one of the greatest athletes of all time in his prime and the team isn't at it's peak. He's frustrated for the fans. He wants to see a better product out there. He isn't looking for the easy way out, Garnett never does that. He earns everything he has. He's telling management that he wants a better team on the floor for himself and for the city. I'm pretty damn glad he said it, too.you signed the 7 year deal you piece of shit, so you stick out the seven years and shut up.
First thing is first, he signed a five year contract extension. Secondly, Garnett has stayed in Minnesota for 11 years and he plans on staying here for the rest of his career. So what do you mean you "stick it out"? Do you even know anything about Kevin Garnett? Did you even read the quotes that he said? For some reason, I just have this feeling that you have absoutely no idea what you are talking about. And in my opinion, you look like a damn fool.If you're making 18+ mil a year, you gotta be a man.
He is the man and he has been the man since he was 13 years old.Has Lebron said he wants out?
Has Kevin Garnett?No.
Thank you.And he's making like 13 million less than KG.
He's also on his rookie contract. And what does money have anything do with being happy?KG's becoming another spoiled brat like T-Mac or Francis.
How is Garnett a spoiled brat? He has been one of the best citizens in the NBA for the past 11 years in the league. He donated over $1 million to the Hurricane Katrina Relief Aid. He spends a lot of time working with the community in Minnesota. He is and always has been the best professional he can be. He has never wanted out and he has never, EVER, demanded to be traded. With all of these other athletes out there complaining and asking to be traded at the first sign of trouble, Kevin Garnett is a breathe of fresh air. He went through 7 straight first round playoff exits and he didn't complain. He has lost so many friendships throughout the years because of trades, free agency and death and he hasn't complained. He missed the playoffs last year and again this year and he speaks out now because he is upset with the direction of the franchise. How does that make him spoiled? If Kevin Garnett is spoiled, then I don't know what you would call Tracy McGrady, Steve Francis, Vince Carter and all the other athletes that bitched their way out of town. I think you are getting Kevin Garnett confused with someone else. Your agrument in this post was quite childish and something I would expect from a 4th grader who is first learning how to bullshit.I used to like ya, KG, but my annoyance/hate is growing.
Do you think he cares? You are one of the few that misunderstand him and hate him. Congratulations. I'm glad you hate a man that you know nothing about.

Yes I'm a bum, I'm not a 1 million dollar bum, let alone 18.
What I'm saying is: it's alright for players like marcus banks, mark blount, etc. to be complaining.
KG is supposed to be the captain.
He's acting like Adam Morrison.
When you're complaining off the court that you want changes, your teammates are going to be wary.
They're going to say "whoa, does he mean me? well I don't want to play with him if he wants me traded."
He's not leading. Losses are losses.
Talk to the Warriors. KG has missed 2 playoffs in a row now. Warriors have missed what? 13? JRich for instance has been there for 5 years without playoffs, and you don't hear him blowing it all over the media like KG.
Frustrated for the fans? More like "I don't wanna be the next karl malone. Give me a ring, NOW."
Teams like the Cubs in baseball and the Warriors and the Clippers and now the Blazers, Knicks etc. are constantly rebuilding. Happens to everyone. It just so happens to have happened to KG.
If you want your team better, KG, TAKE LESS MONEY, YOU SELFISH PRICK. "I want us to get better free agents." "I'm sorry, we can't do that, forty percent of our money is in your bank account."
And yes, KG has said he wants out. Just not directly. He just says stuff like "I'm more deserving of a better team."
He is spoiled. Almost every NBA player is spoiled, he's no different. Myself and probably most people here could live on 2 million dollars a year. So take that off 18. OK that's 16 that you don't need. Donate it? "nah, here's a couple million, go away." what in the HELL do you do with the extra 14 million dollars?
Isn't speaking out because you don't like the franchise the same as whining? Pretty much.
KG, just shut up and play if you like it so much. Don't bitch to us, bitch to yourself, bitch to your teammates, and bitch to the management.
