    Guys, you have to look at the source. KG might have a high school education at best, is far removed from the real world as one can be, and probably couldn't find Iraq on a map. Thus, to expect anything to come out of his mouth that might resemble common sense is beyond his realm.

    Why would I have to know him personally to make that conclusion??

      Re: Looks like KG wants to go to Iraq

      Here we go again with the intelligence thing, I'm sorry, but I'm in college, and some of the dumbest people in the world are here, so don't give me this "Well he's only went to high school" crap. Garnett was speaking out of anger and frustration nothing more, it was a mistake but he apologized for it, to call into question his ENTIRE character after one mistake is ludicrous. Name one person on this earth who hasn't made a mistake with his mouth and I'll show you a damn liar.

            I'll take people like KG, who can admit when they make a mistake and man up to it, to all these haughty, "holier than thou" people that think just because they grew up in a better situation than somebody that this person can't possibly be on their level in thinking.

                        He is for real. In college you grow up. KG came out of HS to go pro, good for him. I would be willing to bet you he has more money than any other person who is 6 or years removed from HS, and yes, college does teach you stuff. College isnt all about book smarts. Its about learning about the real world. out of respect for the troops, he should of kept his mouth shut. I think he made a mistake, and he will probably apologize and move on. I just think its funny/sad that some of you are defending him. He said something that is politically correct (wether you like it or not, it is) and he went way to in depth. Hell, that might be the most descriptive ive ever heard, even more descriptive than some football coaches "going to wat speaches"

                              Afterward, Garnett said he met with the team's public relations staff and discussed his remarks.


                              "It was one-sided thinking on my part, but I'm man enough to admit it," he said. Garnett specifically mentioned veterans and families with loved ones serving in Iraq in his apology.


                              "I'm a young man and I understand when I'm appropriate, and this is totally inappropriate. I was totally thinking about basketball, not reality."

                              Point guard Sam Cassell said any sports fan would know Garnett didn't mean any harm by his comments.


                              "Violence is not one thing that's on his mind," Cassell said.


                              In Sacramento, Kings coach Rick Adelman said he told his players to worry about themselves and not about Garnett's comments.


                              "I'm more worried about what he's going to do out there without any ammunition," Adelman said.

                                Afterward, Garnett said he met with the team's public relations staff and discussed his remarks.


                                "It was one-sided thinking on my part, but I'm man enough to admit it," he said. Garnett specifically mentioned veterans and families with loved ones serving in Iraq in his apology.


                                "I'm a young man and I understand when I'm appropriate, and this is totally inappropriate. I was totally thinking about basketball, not reality."

                                Point guard Sam Cassell said any sports fan would know Garnett didn't mean any harm by his comments.


                                "Violence is not one thing that's on his mind," Cassell said.


                                In Sacramento, Kings coach Rick Adelman said he told his players to worry about themselves and not about Garnett's comments.


                                "I'm more worried about what he's going to do out there without any ammunition," Adelman said.
