Garnett might be my least favorite player of all time. Manu is a close second and Paul Pierce rounds out my top 3.

I've always thought it was Perkins. He's defensive ability doesn't match up to the perception surrounding it, and it never has.

KG is just old at this point, but he was able to back up his tough guy persona for a very long time in the NBA.

I'll nominate Joakim Noah.

+1

The only thing intimidating about him is his hideous face.

KG is from South Carolina. You're probably thinking of Paul Pierce, who is from Inglewood

KG never did anything rough, really, other than take cheap shots and talk shite. I don't think he ever had the balls to man up to a guy his own size, but he sure as frick talks a lot of shite to guards.

Thug POS.

Any big man not named Charles Oakley.

Most of those dudes have never been in a fight in their lives because they are bigger than everyone else.

gotta give propers though. He equated like 3 years of good basketball for the Jizz(not a typo) into a fat contract in Chi town and somehow people still call him a difference maker.

I guess, in a way, he is.

According to Durant, that would be Bosh. Can't say I disagree either

I'll add a vote for Garnett. Big shite talker and plays dirty but runs to the refs when someone starts muscling up to him.

How the hell can you consider Perkins soft? Soft wouldn't have gone hard in attempting to block Blake Griffin? No, soft would be stepping out of the way. Changing sports to make a point, is Laron Landry soft for getting run over by Brandon Jacobs? An emphatic 'NO' applies to both.

I think I'd have rather jumped on Oakley than Anthony Mason..
