Kevin Garnett is being criticized for breaking down the Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. I'm not so sure. I watched the game and felt that KG played intelligent enough. I do, however, feel that the Celtics have a tough time closing on the road, and Paul Pierce doesn't have what it takes to help them do it. KG is nice, but not nearly as dominant as he once was, and Ray Allen is a relative has-been.
Here is what a Fox Sports dude had to say about the game:
LOS ANGELES - The Celtics had a chance to put the Lakers down in a place from which no team has ever recovered: a 3-0 disadvantage in the Finals. And they blew it. Simple as that.
2008 NBA Finals
Once again, the Celtics out-rebounded the Lakers. And on yet another night, Boston proved a tougher, more physical team than Los Angeles. But smarter?
No. Definitely not.
In the postgame interview room, Phil Jackson referred to his eternally undiscouraged shooter, Sasha Vujacic (7 of 10, 20 points) as "a rockhead." Actually, with Tuesday night now in evidence, the term seems more apropos in describing the Celtics, starting with their best, most talented and fiercest player.

Tiger Woods Top Earning Athlete in America: Lebron and Mayweather on List Too
Tiger Woods was the top earning athlete in America, hauling in $128M last year. He was followed by another golfer, Phil Mickelson. Most of the athletes on the list were African-American, including Shaquille O'neal, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett and others.
Most of the athletes who earned the top money reached that spot through celebrity endorsements. For example, of the $128M earned by Tiger Woods, only about $22M of that was earned by playing golf. Wow, now we understand why they are so politically castrated!
One can wonder if the days of a Muhammad Ali will ever come back, or Jim Brown, athletes who actually used their power for a cause. Not in this America, not anytime soon.
The rest of the list is here
