KG is not the only player who tends to taunt their opponent after a big play. It´s just way more impressive if the
hyper-intense 6'11'' 3/4 KG does it.
Was it a technical? Absolutely.
But I wouldn´t want him any other way. He fired the team up in the third quarter, which led to an excellent fourth. KG gets a technical, and the Celtics the W, deal?
Everyone wants more emotion in the game, people still talk about the great 80´s/90´s all the time. Before the rule was implemented, we all loved to see the taunting.
McHale on Rambis anyone? That was worse than anything KG has ever done, and we still rave about it.
This whole thing gets so much attention because the Celts are the Champs, end of story. Raptors fans across the web are currently on a crusade against the refs(and Sam Mitchell), and I´m not exaggerating here. They even moan when they´ve won the game. Combine these two things, and you have a Scandal. This whole thing is already way out of proportion.
I hope KG stays exactly the way he is.
