I fell asleep. Recap?

6/18/2008 11:33:02 AM

ill go ahead and answer my own question also:

very ridiculous.

6/18/2008 11:33:29 AM

its not the first time he's spoke & i've wondered why reporters continue to put mics in front of him

6/18/2008 11:33:31 AM

yeah, not the best thing I've ever seen.

However, his press conference talking about "beating the bully's ass" was pretty good.

Garnett is a money basketball player...when his team is up by 30...we weren't able to witness how big of a chokejob KG is this series since he never had to take any tough shots late in games (except for the little 0/2 FT in Game 5)

6/18/2008 11:34:27 AM

i knew that sounded familiar

"Kevin Garnett Butchers Adidas Slogan? Posted By: Darren Rovell Topics:Endorsements | Advertising | Sports Companies:Under Armour Inc Kevin Garnett - Anything is possible? CNBC.com Kevin Garnett So I'm watching the Lakers-Celtics game last night and after the game Michele Tafoya goes to interview Kevin Garnett. Michele: Kevin, 11-time All-Star, League MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, now it's time to add to your resume--NBA champion. How does that sound? Garnett: Man, I'm so hyped right now. Anything is possible. (Screams) Anything is possible! For a second, I thought that is so great. How often, in the first interview after you win the championship, do you quote the slogan of your shoe sponsor (adidas pays Garnett for his endorsement)? And then I thought, wait, did he just say, "Anything is possible?" That's not adidas' slogan. Their slogan is "Impossible Is Nothing." The Celtics And Their Profitable Run Before I had a chance to review it, I got an e-mail from reader Ross Pryde who pointed out that not only did Garnett get it wrong. He accurately quoted the slogan of Li-Ning, the Chinese shoe company whose slogan is yiqie jieyou keneng, which means, you guessed it, "Anything Is Possible." Some people are telling me that Garnett wasn't trying to be clever and that it would have been awkward if he threw out adidas' slogan, but I'm not so sure. Saying "Anything is possible" is pretty close, plus the second scream of the phrase was done in a way that made him look like he thought he was at the end of that "

I agree with Agent 0 here

We know KG is one of the most intense players on the planet

but not being able to compose yourself for a coherent postgame interview reaks of some deeper emotional instability

He never went to college, but you can tell from his interviews and press conferences that he is more well spoken than most players in the league

For him to yell out and drop the MF bomb during a live (thankfully 5 seconds delayed for ABC's censors) interview was something you may expect from a college kid winning his first NCAA tournament

But for a 31 year old to act that way was a bit much

I've always liked him as a player and this won't change my opinion of him, but it definitely wasn't one of his best moments

Somehow, Noah's post-game interview a year+ ago, after UF won, was more coherent:

6/18/2008 11:54:12 AM

yeah and he's a college kid

its different when your in your early 30's

Kevin Garnett brought out his inner Howard Dean.

6/18/2008 12:11:12 PM

ahaha! Anyways, isn't "AIP" someone's slogan? I remember hearing it on commercials

talk about overexaggerating

it wasn't that bad

6/18/2008 12:14:31 PM

im going to execute this maneuver the next time I'm having sex w/ my g/f...

6/18/2008 12:21:36 PM

i think the phrase, "i'm so hyped right now" is my favorite part of the interview

thats one i'll be using in various situations

6/18/2008 1:12:30 PM

It came out as more of an acceptance speech at the Source Awards than as an end-of-game interview

6/18/2008 1:17:23 PM

ANNYTHIIINGGGGGGG IS POSSSSSSSSIBLLLLLLLLE

BAM

*facial*

6/18/2008 1:28:03 PM

maybe this will be the new "i'm going to disneyland"

6/18/2008 1:30:07 PM

Agent 0 should go into porn and DP girls with Nick "Droppin Loads" Manning

6/18/2008 1:34:52 PM

i think i seriously want to drop a "BY THE POWER OF GRAYYYYYSKULLLLLL" Nick Manning style

6/18/2008 1:42:19 PM

yeah, I'm going to have to throw the ole objectivity flag at KG on this one

6/18/2008 3:02:04 PM

He finally wins a championship and this is what he does? He came off looking like a tool.

6/18/2008 3:52:17 PM

more men would have respected his celebration if it consisted of nothing but crying

6/18/2008 3:53:33 PM

MICHELLE, YOU LOOK GOOD TONIGHT, GIRL!

6/18/2008 5:30:16 PM

Anything is possible. Don't even give up.
