Links: Win Signed KG Stuff!

I’ve played in a local Park & Rec league in San Francisco for the past 4 years. Due to the recent cut-backs, the Park & Rec has had to cut many of its after school programs for kids. Because the Park & Rec feels like family to me and my teammates, we’ve pledged to raise $1,000 to help keep some of the programs running. We know it’s not a lot- but it’s something. We’ve almost reached our target, but with what KG’s Chelsea package is worth, I’m positive we could double our goal and really help the kids who need these programs.
Thank you for the consideration!

much love for kg, the most intense and crazy (in a hyper and berserker battle-rage way) warrior on the court at all time! he’s got so much heart and intensity, that even when he isn’t playing.. he STILL yells at the weak ones, spraying them with curses and spit. haha, i just love that crazy side of him, that so many people are hating on. he’s a real monster, and his game backs up his bark. that said, i’m far from a soccer fan, but you know what, i would treasure anything with kg’s name, signature, insignia, whatever on it. his name can make a turd on a stick look good in the louvre! so lemme keep that jersey (even though it’s not a bball jersey), perma-seal it, and tell my great-grand kids how sick of a baller kevin garnett was.

Well here we go, I believe I should win the set because I’m a good ol Irish boy from Mass who whenever basketball is mentioned, all I can think about is the Celts, and as far as I’m concerned there are no other teams, and KG is definitely one of the best. My favorite sport however is football (soccer) and I’m a Chelsea die-hard and have been since day one (of me coming in contact with European football). I don’t understand why people are posting comments talking about Torres or other things that have nothing to do with Chelsea. This set is for CHELSEA fans and should seriously go to no less.
I grew up with the Celts, my whole family likes the Celts, only basketball games I’ve ever watched are the Celts. And like the Celts, Chelsea was there to introduce me to football. It was world cup time in 10th grade when I really got into it and I had grown fond of Michael Ballack (captain of Germany) and after all that was done I realized he played for Chelsea. So I looked into it. Tho not the best club at the time they were on the rise and I decided they needed my support. And I’ve been bleeding blue ever since. I watch every game no matter what (even if it means cutting a few classes here and there around Champions League time and staying in the dorm to watch), I was at the World Football Challenge, I painted my car to have Chelsea all over it just because it was already blue, I organized a supporters group at my college, I piss checks away at the newest kits and scarves from overseas. There isn’t much I won’t do for this team.
Now that we have these competitions come over, we have jerseys being sold in stores here, we have some games on TV now, we have celebs and our athletes publicly endorsing these teams, and now we have this… all these things are finally bringing two huge parts of my life together into one. Once I thought these things were so different, and the news that they are slowly merging makes me just as happy as when I saw this limited package picture for the first time. And I do realize that the “political” factors of KG playing for an Irish founded and representative team and openly supporting Chelsea, which is linked to past political issues of being loyalist and the troubles with Ireland and England (if you ask me I thought he would have liked Celtic FC ). But then it hit me. We as Americans don’t see all this. We see good players and a good team. Just like we see the Celts and we see great players and a great team. KG does the same. Chelsea caught his eye just like it caught mine and he has respect for the teams players and abilities and that is all that SHOULD matter in sports.
So, I believe I should win because it would mean so much to me as a Celts and Chelsea fan from Mass to own such a significant symbol of my two personalities coming together; the Irish Boston fan and the football loving Chelsea fan.

Even if I am not picked this should seriously go to a die-hard fan of Chelsea AND supporter of the Celts & Boston! Anything else would just be wrong…

I deserve to win the KG stuff because I’ve been a Celtic fan for as long as I can remember, even when the rest of my family were Laker fans. I’ve stuck with them through the hard times and the best of times. I’ve gotten my wife (from Germany) to become a huge Celtic fan as well as her Dad who lives in Germany. We are also all soccer fans which my wife and Father-in-Law got me into. Since the economy went south, it’s been real tough for everyone. It would be nice to have a little piece of something good.

If you don’t choose me, please choose someone who does deserve it. Thank you and God Bless

If you give me this shirt, I’ll wear it every single day for the next 5 years.

Winning this prize pack would bring me more joy than anything Chelsea has accomplished/done in the post Mourinho era. It’s been frustrating watching the Mighty Blues for the past 2.5 years, wishing that each transfer window would bring one player with the intensity and passion that Kevin Garnett has for the game. At least with this combo, I could have something tangible that I could look to whenever Chelsea find a way to disappoint this season, as they’ve managed to do in recent memory.

If KG plays for Chelsea, his unselfishness can help Drogba bring back a title to Chelsea fans.

I feel that I should win the KG Chelsea gear because I can use it to motivate kids. I am a school counselor, coach, and huge Celtics fan. Above my office door I have the famous KG quote, “Anything is Possible!” This is now my daily motto and message to kids. They can do anything they want, anything they put their mind to. KG is the perfect connection for them. Intensity and determination in whatever they believe. If I win I will proudly display the goods in my office as proof that anything is indeed possible, and this is why I am taking a shot. Thanks for reading!

KG would be a Chelsea fan. I know Will Farrel likes them too. But, why would they? I’m a Liverpool fan so i hate Chelsea as much as i hate Man United. I’m a die hard Barca cule and La Liga fan though. I used to love that La Liga column that used to be on here. Bring it back!

Me!
Who else?
Not only I’m a linkstigator from day one (I still prefer the jurassic early days layout), I’m also:

- a big KG fan (I always dreams about him in my Bulls);

- a big Chelsea fan in England;

- the biggest soccer fan of all people here (that’s you included, Lang, sorry), cause I’m from Rio, Brazil, and my heart belongs to the club with the biggest fan base in the world, Flamengo!, that was bigger than life in the 80′s, with a genious like Zico (you think Kaká and Ronaldinho are good? Ask then about Zico…) and several other extra-class players. Youngsters, go now to You Tube and type Zico and Flamengo, you’ll get a glimpse…

Here we live soccer. And I also live b-ball, cause I’ve played and still love the game that once was bigger here, when Oscar and Marcel played. That’s why I deserve it, Lang. My opinion, of course.

i need some new shoes for school so i deserve them.

I think I should win it because i am Kevin Garnett and maybe this will pump up my spirits to get better the next season and if i dont win this who knows what will happen to the celtics next season

also i really don’t want kg to ever say this to me…

Lang, I deserve this jersey because I am a fellow Bulldog, and if you hook me up, I’ll get you tickets to a home football game of your choice. That way, you can relive some great moments between the hedges, and we can talk basketball over a postgame meal at the Varsity. You know you want to.

I like to think I deserve this KG swag for several reasons. One, I was born in Minnesota, raised in Boston, and have love for both places which surprisingly have a few things in common – super stars in Randy Moss, David Ortiz, and of course Kevin Garnett. Is Adrian Peterson next? I’ve always followed Garnett and basketball for both organizations and the sport is my biggest passion. Without hoops I would probably be just another tall, lanky kid only good for cleaning ceilings. Two, I enjoy collecting sports gear especially of Boston nature, but I’m missing a Garnett piece sadly. Three, I started playing soccer as a kid and it ranks right up there with basketball. I ran and played as hard as I could, much like Garnett, until I broke my leg on the field. But I didn’t let that stop me, because like basketball, it was a passion. I have jerseys of a few nations and appreciate worldwide play. And lastly, friends poke fun and take notice of how random and colorful my wardrobe collection is, and this bright blue Chelsea jersey would be a perfect addition.

I know for a fact that you’re a ManU supporter so I want to save you the trouble by taking that kit off your hands.

I deserve this dream package because it is a perfect combination of all my likes and passions. Garnett has always been one of my favorite players due to his unique skill set and demeanor and this feeling only increased when he joined the only team I can consider myself a diehard for.
Additionally, I studied abroad in London, living in the “Royal Borough of Chelsea and Kensington.” I have always been a big soccer fan, growing up playing the game, but I had never chose a team in the premier league to follow. My geographic location combined with finding something in common with Garnett made choosing Chelsea as my team easy.
I can say I have a Garnett jersey, and a Chelsea jersey, but I can also say, without thinking twice, that I would trade them both for the combination of the two that you are offering.

i think I deserve it because this is very special to me and that is my favorite team please pickme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(leteraly)

I think i deserve to win is because i been a KG fan all of my 15 years of my life. I seen him play when he was with the T- wolves and still watch him play for the celtics even though im a Laker fan. Also i play both sports.I grew up playing soccer then saw basketball and started to play it to. Even though im not a chelsea fan i like watching the teams in Liga BBVA ill still were it with pride since im a KG fan. It will also mean alot to me if i win since i never seen KG play since i live in Los angeles and i never seen him in person or never had his autograph. It will mean alot to me if i win its like having the best of both worlds soccer and basketball.

i want to believe that a man who’s read every issue of slam for the last 13 years will be recognized….. i want to believe that a man halfway around the globe from Boston, in Beijing, can win a SLAM contest….. i want to believe that a man who’s favourite basketball and football players are KG (ok, i’ll be honest, TIED for favourite, along with my man Grant Hill) and Deco of Chelsea, respectively, can get ONE jersey which will properly display his love of these two sports….. i want to believe that the man wearing this jersey will proudly represent as every person in China will wonder where he got this ultimate jersey mash-up, to which he will reply, “The magazine of all magazines, SLAM…..” and i want to believe that “anything is possible”…..the ball’s in your court Lang, make me a believer….. cheers,

I deserve this because it’s my birthday today and you won’t ship that to the Philippines so no worries naming me as the winner. LOL.. J/K.. Good luck guys^^^!

WOW—THANK YOU!!
