Not having watched KG much outside of last year and this, I was at first thinking he was messing up again when he got into Dirks face last night. But, after watching the outcome I must say that maybe there is a reason KG makes the money he does. Was he over-aggressive? Was he acting like a kid throwing a tantrum? Or, was he doing what had to be done to motivate an exhausted, road weary team?
Personally, I say give the man the benefit of the doubt. We did win and the turning point was with this situation. I think as fans we should not be judging the players that much on what it takes to win games. Furthermore, I would never, ever get too upset with a player for being too "intense" and trying to win. After all, we could have Mark Blount out there playing. KG has been in the NBA a long time, played a ton of games, and seen all the players first hand. If anyone knows how to play them, he does. Why should we question a future hall of fame player for the way he dominates the game.
