And please don't try to paint this picture of KG indiscriminately getting into it with any and all comers. The fact is that since leaving Minnesota he has stopped picking on the Duncans and Dices of the world (and if you watch the video of the Dice fight you'd know why) and focused 90% of his energies on this following roster of NBA badasses: Yi Jianlian, Jose Calderon, Jerryd Bayless, Zaza Pachulia. That's pretty much like the All-NBA badass 1st team, isn't it? By the way, nobody denies that KG is intense. We've all had that word shoved down our collective throats many times already. We get it. He's intense. But so was Michael. And so was Larry. But they also didn't spend most of their energies hurling obscenities and getting on all-fours against Euro's either. Big huge gargantuan f*cking difference. So thanks for proving my point, and come again.

Or does it mean he got schooled by a one of the best players of the decade? Does that mean Michael Jordan bullied everyone in the league? Charles Oakley? Bill Laimbeer? the list goes on and on. My point is, please do not use the word bully when comparing grown men playing pro sports.....it is straight ridiculous. It's called a style of play. Some have a different style than others. Some are quiet, deadly assassins (read: Ray Allen) Some are intense: KG, Kobe, Lebron, etc. Style of play. Learn it. Live it. Love it. Celts love KG's style of play. Intense!

There are certain superstars that will whine about being touched with a pinky in a game. KG has dominated most players for over a decade now and you rarely ever see him go running to refs saying call a foul when he gets fouled by those players. IF players like Kobe can whine as much as they want well then leave KG to his (supposed) bullying whomever he wants to do it to. How do you get bullying in basketball thats what I would like to actually know. These are grown men and supposedly they are bullying each other. Good Gosh people let them play the game they want to. Players have been doing what KG has been doing many of years prior to him ever even being born and NO ONE ever called it bullying. ITS CALLED PLAYING BASKETBALL sheesh.

Let the record show that when KG actually went after players his own stature such as TD or Dice, KG either got his butt handed to him or backpedaled faster than Carmelo. Someone who likes to intimidate and pick on others is exactly that, a bully. Why won't you just call a spade a spade?
