Garnett's intensity is back. Bullying Yi Jianlian.

[shizzouts]

And as one first-quarter sequence between Garnett and Yi Jianlian illustrated, that intensity was in high gear.

After toying with the Chinese 7-footer in the first quarter both inside and outside, Garnett demonstrably shoved Yi's arms aside and began bodying him up during a dead ball. The replacement refs quickly separated them, but as soon as they cleared away, Garnett immediately went back at Yi and bodied him up some more, raising his hands high in the air while pushing him from behind with his body -- the sort of flashpoint moment that would have earned Garnett a technical foul from a more seasoned official.

"I don't know him, he don't know me. It wasn't nothing personal," Garnett explained, comparing the incident to an episode he had with Luis Scola of Houston in Boston's first preseason game Wednesday.

I would like to see a video of this

It's great that Yi managed to keep his confidence up and get 20 and 8 though.

I have always wondered about Garnett's childhood. Perhaps he was bullied as a kid.

Picking on scrubs again i see.

Remember that time he slapped Smush Parker?

In 16 months, I've gone from loving Garnett and wanting him to win a ring, to wanting Walt Williams to come out of retirement and pop him in the mouth.

[simcjt]

Someone should just give that knee a tap to make his ass sit down again

Haters:

"KG only picks on 6'2 white players"

**KG taunts Bayless**

"KG only picks on point guards"

**Reads this article**

"KG only picks on scrubs"

**Watches clip of KG taunting Amare**

"KG only picks on players with no rings"

[ihatetimthomas]

This is honestly the one thing I don't like about KG. I love his fierce intensity, but sometimes he just takes it too far. Especially with the young point guard taunting. He kind of looks ridiculous out there sometimes. I love everything else he brings to the table though

+1

I really wanted Garnett to get that ring, and honestly think he deserved it. But nowadays I'm getting more and more tired of his bully & run attitude.

I dont hate his attitude at all. A lot of guys dont get flack for stuff way worse than this.

[FinalCountdown]

I find it funny, how people are starting to notice this, when he actually had the same bully attitude in Minnesota. I guess when you play with 3 HOFers and when you win a championship you get more negative publicity. Funny, Funny that some people just notice that Garnett has a bully attitude now.

Will rep if somebody can find the video of this incident
