The NBA has been and always will be a league with trash talkers. Players do it to get into their opponent’s heads to gain an advantage. And when youve been in the league for as long as KG has you can become a pretty effective trash talker. He obviously got into Charlie V’s head last night. Did KG go too far? I think so. But Villanueva needs to realize players like KG, Bird, Jordan, Pierce and Bryant aren’t out there to make friends, they are out there to win. It would have been a completely different situation if KG had said that off the court.

this is awesome, i'm very jealous of your opportunity to talk with him. tommy is pretty much like a grandfather figure to me, and they day he stops working the celtics games will be one of the saddest days of my life. i know he gets a lot of criticism because he is a homer but in all honesty if you can look beyond that, almost everything he says is very insightful. he offers so much more than 99% of sports commentators working today
