But Paul Pierce is a gang banger and he can throw up cool gang signs...he's definitely not fake or soft

Paul Pierce is your poster boy for softest "tough" guy

Whoever said Chris Bosh earlier in this thread misunderstood the OP. I don't think Bosh has ever been confused for a tough guy - as Shaq once opined - "Bosh is the Ru Paul of big men"

KG is 110% talk! His blocking of a shot after the whistle is his best game!

I mean he's getting old, but is still a solid player. Look at his stats from the early '00's through the '08 season. That is hardly all talk.
I get and understand the hate for him, he's obnoxious and kind of a douche, but I'd take him on my roster any day of the week.
The only PF I'm taking over him without thinking is Duncan it's a toss-up between KG in his prime and Malone/Barkley.

I understood him perfectly, but Bosh does try to talk shite on occasion, in which Durant called him a "fake tough guy", which is pretty much word for word the title of the thread. Maybe you didn't understand MY post...

"I was talking to my teammate and he decided he wanted to put his 2 cents into it. I'm a quiet guy, a laid-back guy, but I'm not going to let nobody talk trash to me. He's on a good team now, so he thinks he can talk a little bit," Durant said.
"There's a lot of fake tough guys in this league and he's one of them," Durant added.

It was more of a response to someone saying he was 110% all talk. I'm not going to argue with your list...they're all great players.
It was more of a response to the previous comment like I said. Therefore if you can name 5 better PF's, in your opinion, in the history of the NBA - then its safe to say he's not all talk.

But to add to the original post, fakest tough guy is javale mcgee and his weak stare down's after a dunk...

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

That was the first person I thought of when I read this.

So other than that example of Durant being butt-hurt, can you find the plethora of examples to back that up like you can with Garnett? He's always been known as a finesse player, doesn't exact flow with your assumption that he is very tough.

1. Obviously he isn't as big of a "fake tough guy" as Garnett, not many players are, and I didn't realize that was the minimal criteria.
2. I gave you an example of an NBA player saying it, and you want more?
3. Him being a finesse player, doesn't have anything to do with him trying to act like a tough guy. He's a shite talker and has never attempted to back it up, i.e. fake tough guy.
4. It wasn't my assumption, it was Durant's.

The Larry Johnson/Alonzo Mourning fight was two soft "tough guys" not landing a single punch...
