Garnett Refuses Autograph to Lakers’ Ballboy

The reasons to dislike KG are piling up like pounds on Rosie O’Donnell. We know we’re a little behind on this story, but thought it was worth posting anyway.

According to a J.A. Adande tweet during Sunday’s Lakers, Celtics game, a Lakers ballboy asked KG for an autograph, to which Garnett replied:

“You’ve got a better chance of catching Bin Laden.”

Ironically, the tweet was later removed, as was the corresponding ESPN post. After all, East-Coast based ESPN can’t have these types of things floating around about their favorite sports franchise.
