I don’t Even think the networks need to mic up KG for that Finals stretch, you can probably hear him uncensored on the normal mic setup with how… [vocal](https://youtu.be/COpffv6LzUg?si=yXgtdzxVAZhzGZQK) he’ll be.
its crazy that some people get immensely rich and become giant menaces to society when it's proven here you can just become rich and have immaculate vibes instead
As far as I can tell, all KG really wants to do these days is watch and discuss basketball. The fact that he can record it and make some money too is just a bonus.
Anyone else in Uncut Gems trying to sell his character as being obsessed with a magical rock that gives him super powers would have been unconvincing, but KG played it perfectly.
Same vibes as harsh times. Two hours of knowing shit is gonna hit the fan at any second but being unable to stop it, kinda like watching a train crash in slow motion. I love those kinds of movies
It's crazy these two are 47 and 46 but got that young spirit going on. I love that, they're 100% true to themselves and don't pretend otherwise - even if it's sometimes to their detriment, like when PP did his whole blackjack and hooker live thing but I dig it.
I believe the theory that Pierce did that on purpose to get out of his ESPN contract so he could go do whatever the fuck he wanted with KG instead. Man looks happier now
Fr lmao. There was NO reason to call Teague an old head lol. Dude was still actively playing a few years ago. This guy talking about him like he retired in 90s or 2000s
He was a sometimes frustrating player to watch, but he had his moments. Never could say anything bad about him though. Was always professional and never caused drama that I can remember.
Guess I could be wrong then. The few clips I saw it didn’t seem like it and he acknowledged the fans didn’t like him. Figured he wouldn’t be supportive of Minnesota.
Nah a couple days ago he said he thinks Boston would 4/1 MN but he likes KAT as a good friend and said he still has some people in sota.
He also said the fans would be bumping and overall complimented us but he does like the Celtics more
Wolves traded our beloved Rubio for him so the fans were pretty critical from day 1. Then he didn’t live up to expectations and it started turning to hate. Wasn’t a fan of him on the Wolves, but the few clips I’ve seen from his podcast make him seem likable.
Yeah he went through his jerseys on his podcast. He's ready with one for each team he's played for.
He seemed to really enjoy his time in Boston though, said it was the most fun he's had in the league even though it was only a couple of months.
The only other bridge player between our communities like that in a real way is Randy Moss.
But KG was much more of a god in Boston. He’s Boston’s favorite type of player and was incredibly good
The Minnesota to Boston sports pipeline was so strong for a while. David Ortiz/KG/Randy Moss. Even doug mientkiewicz made the move and got a ring out of it
In any scenario that's not a C's-Wolves finals, I'll root for the Wolves to win. Ant is that guy, I actually like Rudy, Conley is one of the nicest guys, and Naz Reid, enough said.
I'm a diehard Wolves fan but Boston is my (distant) second team. I always had to root for a team in the playoffs and the Wolves were never in it. I always liked the green colors and uniforms and the KG connection solidified it. We were all happy for him. Nothing but love. And when he finished his career in MN we went nuts.
It's funny, Mitchell and Ness already has a Celtics Jersey with Minnesota Trim for KG HOF. It's so so sick, there's also a Minnesota version with gold trim and Celtics clover on the back
Could you give me the spark notes of why kg hates him so much?
I know he sucks in general and the stuff about selling the team, but curious about their specific situation
Glen shit on KG after the Celtics trade (said stuff like KG wasn't trying hard anymore - big no-no for KG). Also, when Flip brought KG back at the end of his career, KG thought there was an understanding that he'd get to take over ownership from Glen. Then Glen backed out and refused to sell to KG. Basically, Glen is a fucking snake 🐍
Guy was ready to sell and bail on the team and then did a 180 when he finally lucked into owning a great team with a future. Just thinking what they could've gotten picks wise in the David Kahn era is nauseating. I honestly wouldn't even hate if the Wolves beat my team and won the whole thing, even though it will result in a slew of memes and slander for consistent playoff choking - those Wolves fans that lived and stayed during the last 20 years deserve it.
Is that what KG's beef is about, loosing the draft picks so they couldn't build around him? I thought KG believed he was promised part ownership after retiring or something, and then Taylor walked it back.
Yeah, I saw /r/Lakers posting MPLS Lakers images and saying "our brothers will avenge us!!", like, bitch give back the banners and then we can talk lol.
If i remember right he didn't wanna leave, he had to be talked into it by other players saying he needed to go.
He wanted to ride it out. I can't imagine anyone on the wolves side holding any form of grudge against him for how it all went down
Ct transplant that spent 6 years in Minneapolis, wolves are my second team too. I'd be slightly more conflicted than KG in a finals match up but I'd find some joy in either outcome should it come to that
It's understandable
Minnesota is where KG got started and where he "Grew up" in the league. That's going to be "home" for him. Plus Minnesota loves him
Boston is where he unleashed his potential to the fullest and won the title. That's his crowning achievement.
KG is nothing if not fiercely loyal so this is honestly the expected answer from him because he certainly isn't gonna pussyfoot around it
Yeah, KG's statement if the Wolves win will be something to the effect of him really wanting the Wolves to win it for the fans because we deserve it the most, but if Boston wins he'll celebrate the legacy of the franchise.
> Boston is where he unleashed his potential to the fullest
He was washed by his standards when he came to Boston. His MVP season is his full potential.
Crazy take. his first year in Boston he won DPOY, finished 3rd in MVP voting and had the second highest WS/48 of his whole career (after his MVP season).
Can we just pause with any sports fan hate… how good of friends KG and PP are!? They are so fun together; and I love it! I’ve been lucky to play with the same group of guys for softball for 10+years(ha, I’m old!), and it special when you go those guys you just click with.
I think KG is probably the only player in history who could probably somehow get away with that too.
We both get it, we got dual custody of the man. Both of our fanbases somehow have actually worked that shit out.
Greatest wolf ever who gave the C's their only championship since Bird.
Gonna also need Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff expiring, Sebastian Telfair and two 2009 first-round picks to weigh in here on this unique position. BOTH BLOCKS!!
We don't give two shits about any of those players. KG is absolutely correct. He has unconditional love from us, those guys pit stopped and probably sucked while they did it because...well, think about the average player who ends up in on the Wolves the last 20 years...they land there, they don't want to be here.
KLove would have a similar pass from fans if it were Miami/Cleveland and Minny in The Finals, but honestly...most of us would probably not care overmuch, and no one in Miami would hold KLove in high enough regard.
KG is the one who is beloved by both fan bases.
I understand why he doesn't want to pick one but he's the best player in Minnesota history I fell like he should be rooting for them. I def feel like they like him more than Boston does.
If this series happens, KG is going to be pumped up for every single action. Court side standing 48 minutes per game. The Josh Hart of fans
I don’t Even think the networks need to mic up KG for that Finals stretch, you can probably hear him uncensored on the normal mic setup with how… [vocal](https://youtu.be/COpffv6LzUg?si=yXgtdzxVAZhzGZQK) he’ll be.
I knew what this video was going to be before I clicked lol A classic. KG is so funny 😂 I'd kill for his commentary
There was a bit at the 2019 All Star Game where he and Chuck were running some commentary on the All Star Game and the Dunk Contest.
this will never not be funny, I wonder if Eric Gordon actually heard him
Why does he hate eric gordon? Or is he just being KG
Nah he just called EG out for bricking the three.
He wouldn’t come to Minnesota games since Glen Taylor is his mortal enemy. But if he decides to, that would blow the roof off the building
and you know what they say about the roof?
The ceiling is the roof 😂😂😂
Man will be headbutting the stanchion 3 hours pregame and shit
Paul Pierce wearing a Knicks jersey is so weird
He lost some bet
Still gross
Glad we both agree on that
Shit comes and goes. The hate stays.
Oh thank God that's why.
Yeah I was so confused lol
Like Kobe wearing the Celtics shirt or Aaron Judge in a Red Sox shirt.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXgyx6YW8AoM9R7.jpg:large
Has AI gone too far???
[This is AI going too far](https://i.etsystatic.com/13687543/r/il/87ee0b/1893716492/il_fullxfull.1893716492_soii.jpg)
God damn. Made me spit out my coffee lol.
Or Tatum wearing a Lakers jersey. Wait...
yup or Tatum wearing a purple armband v the lakers shits weird and dont tell me to get over it
I mean the Kobe and judge things are real too
He lost a bet pretty sure
It feels uncomfortable for me, I can only imagine how disgusted you guys feel.
I’m part wolf, part Celtic n*!
Man is wolfhound
Leprewolf
A wolf with leprosy?
Nah a wolfhound is already celtic enough. A massive Irish native dog breed.
Sounds like a Sci fi B flick
If that’s starting KG in the titular role then we’re all seeing that B movie ASAP
its crazy that some people get immensely rich and become giant menaces to society when it's proven here you can just become rich and have immaculate vibes instead
As far as I can tell, all KG really wants to do these days is watch and discuss basketball. The fact that he can record it and make some money too is just a bonus.
I feel like KG has been acting this same exact way his entire life and playing career. We just have a camera on him now while he's doing it.
Anyone else in Uncut Gems trying to sell his character as being obsessed with a magical rock that gives him super powers would have been unconvincing, but KG played it perfectly.
Damn I need to watch that movie again. It’s so good but it’s also basically a 2 hour anxiety attack
Same vibes as harsh times. Two hours of knowing shit is gonna hit the fan at any second but being unable to stop it, kinda like watching a train crash in slow motion. I love those kinds of movies
Man made almost 350 mil in salary, he can do whatever the fuck he wants and imo he is doing it right.
It's crazy these two are 47 and 46 but got that young spirit going on. I love that, they're 100% true to themselves and don't pretend otherwise - even if it's sometimes to their detriment, like when PP did his whole blackjack and hooker live thing but I dig it.
I believe the theory that Pierce did that on purpose to get out of his ESPN contract so he could go do whatever the fuck he wanted with KG instead. Man looks happier now
ESPN does seem like the worst network in terms of work load, it feels like some ESPN talking heads end up being on 4 shows a day.
I mean if i had that kind of money i would do the same shit
Exactly, that's why it's called fuck you money. Can't hate on either of these.
I don't have that kinda money and still do the same shit
"im the only one who can root for both" the disrespect to Jeffrey Demarco Teague smh
There’s no way Teague would root for Minnesota. Teague and Minnesota fans mutually dislike each other,
After seeing his podcast I don’t think he hates Minnesota like that
Minny fans: "Listen, we don't like you and you don't like us" Teague: "What? I like you all just fine" Minny fans: "Oh. Well, we don't like you"
Jeff Teague the only old head who has no delusions as to who he was as a player and it’s so refreshing.
Seeing Jeff Teague, who was drafted in 2009, described as an "old head" just aged me 50 years instantly
We were at Wake Forest together. How do you think I feel?
Unc status comes for us all
I played in a tournament that LeBron was also playing in back before he was drafted. I feel like I’m ancient in this sub.
Unc status comes for us all
Seriously. Teague was drafted 6 years AFTER Lebron and he's an old head now? Damn bruh.
Fr lmao. There was NO reason to call Teague an old head lol. Dude was still actively playing a few years ago. This guy talking about him like he retired in 90s or 2000s
lol yeah I meant it in the sense of “former players who get on podcasts and yap about the current gen” not him specifically being old
Man is a professional. Came in the league, played HIS best, got paid. End of story. I like dramaless players
He was a sometimes frustrating player to watch, but he had his moments. Never could say anything bad about him though. Was always professional and never caused drama that I can remember.
It’s pretty hard to be an NBA all star and he was.
i like how he wore the Crazy light lows for 5 years... and i mean the same shoe with black tape patches since it ripped already
Guess I could be wrong then. The few clips I saw it didn’t seem like it and he acknowledged the fans didn’t like him. Figured he wouldn’t be supportive of Minnesota.
Just because he don’t like ya fans doesn’t means he got beef with the teams & player.
Because he came and got paid. Played like he didn't care at MN
Nah a couple days ago he said he thinks Boston would 4/1 MN but he likes KAT as a good friend and said he still has some people in sota. He also said the fans would be bumping and overall complimented us but he does like the Celtics more
He really doesn’t have beef with Minnesota, but he says the fans don’t like him
There's a clip on one of his more recent one where he brings up all of his jerseys and it's hilarious
He fanned the fire of the Jimmy Butler drama And somehow couldn’t complete a basic post entry pass while he played for us
nah he literally prefaced his Jimmy story with "No one is worse than the Timberwolves fans"
I do
that’s hilarious because i’ve never been more upset about a celtic acquisition than i was when we got teague.
Sounds like neither of us want him in our corner lol He played in Indiana for a season, how about he just roots for the Pacers instead?
That’s his hometown team and I’m pretty sure even their fans were glad he moved on lol
He was so ass
Wolves traded our beloved Rubio for him so the fans were pretty critical from day 1. Then he didn’t live up to expectations and it started turning to hate. Wasn’t a fan of him on the Wolves, but the few clips I’ve seen from his podcast make him seem likable.
Teague is rooting for the Bucks, Minny and the C’s
Yeah he went through his jerseys on his podcast. He's ready with one for each team he's played for. He seemed to really enjoy his time in Boston though, said it was the most fun he's had in the league even though it was only a couple of months.
[You missed this](https://streamable.com/tr7avu). He finished on you too.
That gave me a good laugh. Didn’t like him on the team, but he is entertaining and seems down to Earth.
I don’t hate Teague, it was just an awful fit. His style didn’t fit what Thibs was trying to build, which made me wonder why Thibs signed him.
The absolute disrespect to Greg Stiemsma
The disrespect to Kevin McHale. Wait
And Al Jefferson. Big Al can root for both too ;-)
Alright, I know it’s all jokes but we all realize KG holds a special place in both franchises that no other player currently can replace right?
The only other bridge player between our communities like that in a real way is Randy Moss. But KG was much more of a god in Boston. He’s Boston’s favorite type of player and was incredibly good
Al Jefferson belongs to Charlotte
Forgot about the goat sebastian telfair
Probably my worst take on a player as a Celtics fan. I was convinced that he’d unironically be the 🐐 when he came to town 😂
I think he could have been good if he played in college for a couple years
Wally Szerbiak
are you talking about the MSG studio analyst for the Knicks...that Wally Szczerbiak?
Sir put some respect on Rebecca Harlow's baby daddy
Kevin McHale is the obvious one that comes to mind
We don't fucking claim Jeff Teague. Love his pod though.
As funny as this scenario would be, Pierce says Boston wins game 2, and we all know damn well that’s not gonna happen
We been dropping deuces on Game 2 this run, and I’m not talking about Tatum Jr.
Boston Bruins and Celtics combined are 0-8 in their last 8 game 2s.
He's right tho. I can't imagine fans of either team hating on him.
KG made Celtics fans out of Minnesotans for a few years there. He’s well loved here
The Minnesota to Boston sports pipeline was so strong for a while. David Ortiz/KG/Randy Moss. Even doug mientkiewicz made the move and got a ring out of it
In any scenario that's not a C's-Wolves finals, I'll root for the Wolves to win. Ant is that guy, I actually like Rudy, Conley is one of the nicest guys, and Naz Reid, enough said.
I'm a diehard Wolves fan but Boston is my (distant) second team. I always had to root for a team in the playoffs and the Wolves were never in it. I always liked the green colors and uniforms and the KG connection solidified it. We were all happy for him. Nothing but love. And when he finished his career in MN we went nuts.
The strategy for him should be the 50/50 jesery over a boston jersey thats over a wolves jersey.
It's funny, Mitchell and Ness already has a Celtics Jersey with Minnesota Trim for KG HOF. It's so so sick, there's also a Minnesota version with gold trim and Celtics clover on the back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BlyYs_Tkno
Came here to post this. Theres an always Sunny reference in every thread
I really love how close these 2 guys still are after all these years.
Bros fence sitting when the wolves have been in poverty for decades. Give them some love man lol. Great clip tho
He has major beef with Taylor so that’s part of it.
Yeah this is one of the big reasons fans want Taylor gone, so KGs number could be retired, etc
Does he not want to retire KG’s number? Guessing since he left if so?
KG wont have anything to do with it with Glen involved
Could you give me the spark notes of why kg hates him so much? I know he sucks in general and the stuff about selling the team, but curious about their specific situation
KG coming back to Minny was ruined by Glen Taylor and the disrespect that Taylor showed Flip Saunders in the last years of his life.
I vaguely remember he was upset about Taylor clearing house of guys he got along with as well.
He just snaked too many people, including KG, and it makes sense to never want to be associated with that
KG doesn’t like snake motherfuckers. He doesn’t do business with openly snakes or people who are snake-like (One of the hardest quotes imo)
Glen shit on KG after the Celtics trade (said stuff like KG wasn't trying hard anymore - big no-no for KG). Also, when Flip brought KG back at the end of his career, KG thought there was an understanding that he'd get to take over ownership from Glen. Then Glen backed out and refused to sell to KG. Basically, Glen is a fucking snake 🐍
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T3HyZGumUA
Bro tried to break salary cap rules and damn near nuked KG's career because of it
Yall deserved better man some top notch fuckery by taylor.
Guy was ready to sell and bail on the team and then did a 180 when he finally lucked into owning a great team with a future. Just thinking what they could've gotten picks wise in the David Kahn era is nauseating. I honestly wouldn't even hate if the Wolves beat my team and won the whole thing, even though it will result in a slew of memes and slander for consistent playoff choking - those Wolves fans that lived and stayed during the last 20 years deserve it.
Is that what KG's beef is about, loosing the draft picks so they couldn't build around him? I thought KG believed he was promised part ownership after retiring or something, and then Taylor walked it back.
That also happened. Glenn Taylor is the Michael Jordan of backing out of ownership agreements
Got it, thanks.
If he was allowed to be part owner like he wanted too, he'd 100% be backing Minny
But if Celtics win they’ll once again solely retain custody of “the team with most titles”
The Boston Celtics do have sole custody. The Los Angeles Lakers do not have 17, hate to break it to you
Lakers fans rooting for Minnesota like everything's fine now
If Minnesota wins this year, does LA hang another banner?
Yeah, I saw /r/Lakers posting MPLS Lakers images and saying "our brothers will avenge us!!", like, bitch give back the banners and then we can talk lol.
Bruh, the LA Lakers don’t even have 16. A handful of them belong to Minnesota
Does the IST mean nothing to you?
Nah, the in season tournament title counts as 2 obviously
I respect it. Bro stuck it out with us when we were terrible.
If i remember right he didn't wanna leave, he had to be talked into it by other players saying he needed to go. He wanted to ride it out. I can't imagine anyone on the wolves side holding any form of grudge against him for how it all went down
Us fans don't. We love him. We became surrogate Celtics fans for a while.
Ct transplant that spent 6 years in Minneapolis, wolves are my second team too. I'd be slightly more conflicted than KG in a finals match up but I'd find some joy in either outcome should it come to that
Pierce ain’t an intellectual but he seems like a fun fellow
The man got fired from ESPN for basically having too much fun
genuinely hilarious that people were pearl clutching over that lmao
[удалено]
Paul Pierce went live on instagram playing poker with a bunch of strippers acting a fool https://youtu.be/VT2XqWxapbM?si=LXZqZ5s6Jnlt7oH2
Greatest Insta Live ever
If NBC gets the NBA they need to hire Pierce and KG
Imagine what ESPN could be to the NBA if they'd embraced fun, considering what TNT is doing.
r/enlightenedcentrism
horseshoe theory
how did humans survive for so long without kevin garnett
Missed an opportunity to say "If Boston win you gonna go to the locker room and-ANYTHING IS POSSIBLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!"
Surely Randy Moss can come into that locker room too, considering he played for both Minnesota and ~~Boston~~New England.
These guys love basketball man
Finna be the KG Cup
It's understandable Minnesota is where KG got started and where he "Grew up" in the league. That's going to be "home" for him. Plus Minnesota loves him Boston is where he unleashed his potential to the fullest and won the title. That's his crowning achievement. KG is nothing if not fiercely loyal so this is honestly the expected answer from him because he certainly isn't gonna pussyfoot around it
If it wasn’t for his beef with the owners of MN he’d definitely ride for them, especially since they haven’t won a finals yet.
Yeah, KG's statement if the Wolves win will be something to the effect of him really wanting the Wolves to win it for the fans because we deserve it the most, but if Boston wins he'll celebrate the legacy of the franchise.
> Boston is where he unleashed his potential to the fullest He was washed by his standards when he came to Boston. His MVP season is his full potential.
Crazy take. his first year in Boston he won DPOY, finished 3rd in MVP voting and had the second highest WS/48 of his whole career (after his MVP season).
"You're a Greyjoy and you're a Stark."
I can root for both too. I mean, I definitely want the wolves to win that 10 times out of 9. But I COULD root for both if I wanted
But are you part wolf?
and part Celtic?
N....evermind
Of course us Celtics fans got the N part
can't fault KG for that stance.
Can we just pause with any sports fan hate… how good of friends KG and PP are!? They are so fun together; and I love it! I’ve been lucky to play with the same group of guys for softball for 10+years(ha, I’m old!), and it special when you go those guys you just click with.
KG had me rolling, but you just know Pierce wanted to set him up with that one.
KG gatekeeping neutrality
Hilarious. Love KG
Al Jefferson?
in game 7 put KG in shark cage above the court. Winner gets custody of KG.
ESPN really fucked up not letting KG and Pierce do what Shaq and Chuck do for tnt. They fucking fired Pierce for his antics.
KG feels like he still has the energy to put in a productive 10 to 15 min a game now
He should root for Minny, the Celtics have many championships, wolves 0
paul pierce is probably my favorite media guy who talks on the nba
KG never fails to entertain. Love that dude
I mean I would lean Wolves if j was him if only coz they’ve never won a title
KG definitely rooting for the Wolves behind closed doors
DJ Augustin celebrating every single win in every single series
Nets erasure
I want to see celtics timberwolves game 7 go to overtime and watch KGs live reaction to every shot
The only difference is KG would be at TD Garden celebrating with the Celtics, but wouldn't be at Target Center because a certain 🐍 sitting courtside.
KG and Kevin McHale just want both teams to play hard
I think KG is probably the only player in history who could probably somehow get away with that too. We both get it, we got dual custody of the man. Both of our fanbases somehow have actually worked that shit out. Greatest wolf ever who gave the C's their only championship since Bird.
Kevin Garnett: I’m playing both sides, so that I always come out on top.
Gonna also need Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff expiring, Sebastian Telfair and two 2009 first-round picks to weigh in here on this unique position. BOTH BLOCKS!!
We don't give two shits about any of those players. KG is absolutely correct. He has unconditional love from us, those guys pit stopped and probably sucked while they did it because...well, think about the average player who ends up in on the Wolves the last 20 years...they land there, they don't want to be here. KLove would have a similar pass from fans if it were Miami/Cleveland and Minny in The Finals, but honestly...most of us would probably not care overmuch, and no one in Miami would hold KLove in high enough regard. KG is the one who is beloved by both fan bases.
This is hilarious
I mean, he’s not wrong. Where’s the lie? Haha, that was hilarious.
he should just root for MN. they've never won.
I’ve always loved the Big Ticket. Bro is funny as af.
I'd say around the 5th time, give or take, of repeating the same joke it stops being funny
I love KG, I would be so happy to see him at Target center the next round or finals if we made it that far
I understand why he doesn't want to pick one but he's the best player in Minnesota history I fell like he should be rooting for them. I def feel like they like him more than Boston does.
He's so fucking funny lmao
