Kevin Garnett Call People Cancer Paients

By Kelly Dwyer

Late Tuesday night, while a good chunk of us were sitting through the last dregs of a terrible Grizzlies/Lakers game, an odd Tweet from Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva(notes) made the rounds.

Following his team's loss to Kevin Garnett(notes) and the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night, Charlie talked about how he "would love to get in a ring" with KG and "expose him." Sounded like a bit of frustrated, post-loss, bluster, right?

Then we find out that KG's a bit of a jerk:

Pretty awful, KG.

If you're unaware, Charlie Villanueva has Alopecia Areata, isn't a cancer patient, and if he's telling the truth (and all indications, based on Garnett's on-court past, would seem to point in that direction), then this is absolutely something to take in and consider when musing about Garnett's legacy.

It's the first week of the season, and Garnett is pulling that out of his bag. What an ass.
