Kevin Garnett really dislikes ball boys

Kevin Garnett just oozes class. He’s a modern-day JFK with a hint of Mahatma Gandhi. Just a few months back, Detroit Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva accused KG of calling him a cancer patient in the heat of battle during a game. Of course, Garnett refuted the statement saying Villanueva misheard him. Most in the league believed Charlie V because Garnett is not well-liked among most NBA players.

And now, well, we can add ball boys to the growing list of those who despise him. According to Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports, a boy asked KG for his autograph. He responded in kind with, “You got a better chance of catching Bin Laden.”

The offending tweet has since been removed from Spears account but not before others had a chance to weigh in. Andrew Bogut of the Milwaukee Bucks tweeted that Garnett had said worse to their ball boys. While I’m sure people are just piling on at this point, it does make you wonder if KG really is that much of a prick or if he just gets caught in awkward situations.

You know, like the time his hand accidentally punched Channing Frye in the testicles.
