Definately deserving. I know I've said it before, but there's not a harder working player in the NBA than Kevin Garnett, and he's been that way since his rookie year when he came off the bench.

There was a great article on Page 2 on ESPN.com about how KG is the best basketball player to ever play the game - not comparing stats, results, etc. (we all know MJ is the best ever;) ) but as a basketball player, there's not one negative part to Kevin's game. Rebounding, passing, block shots, dribbling, outside shooting, post play, leadership. I don't know, I'm glad to have been able to see him play in person.

he is just as thug as ALL of the NBA. there are character guys out there and being on a snoop video is better than what most of these guys get mixed up in and there are PLENTY of examples. if being in a snoop video is his crime? then damn what do u think of kobe? jason kidd? iverson? marbury? if that video is all the evidence you have as to him being a thug :rolleyes:

Nope - he's definitely a Thug...starring on late night BET with Snoop on girls gone wild videos...

definite thug.

WEll, sorry...I completely disagree with you...I met the guy once when he was in Phoenix....really quality guy. Out shopping with Loren Woods, and Stephon Marbury, outside the Ritz Carlton in '02. The Suns were hosting the Timberwolves.

yeah and i met him twice in minneapolis too for two summers in a row. once he was in a club with one of his boys and again at a red lobster with a bunch of his friends. his character shouldnt be based on the COMPANY the man keeps. he has friends from the sport he plays. if you saw him hanging with kobe what would u call him then? if you want to draw some kinda conclusion based on who u see him with then i will hang with him and see if u call me a millionaire! unless u got him on a police report on something then give the man credit for his character for what it is and has been to this point.

Garnett has come a long way. He went from a Chicago Public High School...not the greatest place to be, to one of the best basketball players in the world.

To define him as a thug is a slap in the face to all those people who made their mark through sports.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

      Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions. A wide range of effects and transitions. Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.
