I think Zaza Pachulia is sort of a bad ass.

If the comparison across decades for KG is Bill Laimbeer…aren't you proving my point that he is, in, fact a bully?

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.

So does this mean Gasol got bullied in the Finals by KG? 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!

Please I see it's up to me to get crap straight…he doesn't challenge anybody but no names is ridiculous….get has gotten into with Dice and which they had to be separated and both were suspended, he has gotten into it with duncan in which they both were ejected and he has gotten into it with Ben Wallace…so don't gimme that crap he only challenges the Calderon's of the world is simply not true…just cause you started noticing him when got to Boston and seem to forget he played 12 seasons in Minnesota…don't go trying to say he picks on the week….his intensity knows no limits and backs from no one

When KG bodies up to Dwight Howard or Lebron or drops down and barks like a dog while guarding Kobe or Wade then I’ll respect his intensity. But for now he is simply the equivalent of a playground bully. And I know it’s dredging something up, but I’m amazed with the lack of reaction from fans and from the NBA to the amount of vile homophobic slurs he directs at other players.
