The fine people at SLAMonline (mangled capitalization techniques provided by us) recently sat down with Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett for a lengthy interview in Los Angeles, also known as the City of Our Discontent.
We don’t want to be a rumor mongor or something, but the fact is, mongoring rumors is really, really fun. This thing is littered with “the T-Wolves aren’t doing enough to help me, and if they don’t get with it, I’m going elsewhere as soon as I can do it while still looking like a good guy” type statements, and they’re not obtuse or vague, either.
A sampling:
Would you want to leave, if the T-Wolves don’t get better…
I got to……down the road somewhere?
…I got to. If you’re not working towards a championship, then why are we in this? I’m in it to win, man, I’m not in it to be coming back talking about next year. I’m 30. I’ve probably got 4 to 5 years, you know what I’m saying? My clock is ticking, man. I’m almost like a woman who’s trying to get pregnant. My years are limited, so my clock is definitely ticking.Appreciate it.
That’s what’s up.
You read it here the fourth or fifth time since yesterday – that’s what’s up.
All purpose statement right there, and you can imagine it coming out of KG’s mouth, can’t you? That’s the KG interview style – it’s all real conversational, and he’s just like saying things, and they make perfect sense, even though they don’t.
Like so:
KG, tell us some more about your new line of shoes.
Pshhhh…up down, left right, y’know…you go up, and there’s four rungs on the ladder, but man…you’re talking about a ladder, and, shit dawg, it’s leanin’ on the building, yknow? I like buildings. Right?The soles have your initials?
North pole, man…they keep sayin’ it’s cold.
(long pause as KG shakes his head)
It’s tight.
Thing is, you imagine that coming out of KG, and he totally answered the question. Oooh, look – Al Harrington – still not signed and possibly looking to Minnesota!
(NOTE: We’ve actually missed doing this daily while shooting Who Shot Mamba?, which is distressing on several levels. We miss you people, especially everyone who isn’t the BDP. Also, note how quickly the skills diminish due to misuse!)

Dude we miss you, too.
So are we gonna see a picture of your sister or what?
KG for sale! finally, no KG and Kobe can be a dynasty. KG + Kobe > Shaq + Wade. Odom + Mike James = Greg Oden
it appears that Mike James is already rubbing off on KG…
Is the clock bigger than Flava Flavs?
what is it, bitter cav day?
Next metaphor to be used by NBA player: “yo man, I’m like a woman putting on mascara, naah’mean?”
You better shut your face or I’ll tell them about your connection with the Terminator
Why yes, becky, it is! I’m wearing the wtf face this morning!
you will feel better if you play w/ your KitchenAid Spoon Spatula.
You’re so dedicated.
hee. i could picture the thing but could not remember what it was called. so I looked that up.
ferry go get kg, trade every1 except lbj of course, oh please get kg,
If the Wolves were smart, they’d trade KG for Danny Ferry himself.
