Kevin Garnett Injures Leg, Exits Game (Update)

Did I say he didn’t need to be incarcerated?
I said that the level of.outrage directed at him was out of sync with his crime. One of your contentions was that people were bringig up other crimes in the nfl, drunk driving in particular, like the enforcement or outrage related to those crimes was related to what happened to vick.
You seemed to think that vick’s punishment had nothing to with the punishment other people received.
I am wondering how you could say that in that case but then think that something is wrong with praying for garnett because there are other people who need prayers.
How can vick’s crimes exist in a vacuum but garnett’s prayers be dependent on other people’s problems.

K A R M A!!!

Great analogy allen.

You didn’t say it was sacrilege you said it was stupid because other people are deserving of prayer.
I said the outrage directed at vick was stupid because other people were far more deserving or outrage.
we will never agree on the value of animal life and human life but that doesn’t mean my analogy doesn’t make sense.
And honestly I am not trying to call you dishonest or soemthing. I am just pointing out how feelings.change in different situations.

I’m not religious so don’t take my ‘sacrilege’ comment seriously. Perhaps you’re putting too much stock on my comment about others deserving prayer.
My point was, people who deserve prayer are the people battling cancer, the people in harsh third world regimes, the people who are going hungry and the people who are missing loved ones. There are thousands of people out there deserving prayer.
Praying for KG’s knees for the sake of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals is f*cking ridiculous and DOESN’T DESERVE PRAYER. It’s not about being more deserving, it’s about not deserving at all.
Once again, the Vick thing is totally different. Vick deserved his outrage and others deserved more outrage. Your problem is, you feel Vick didn’t deserve the sh*t he got. “Hey, he killed a couple of dogs, he made a small profit, forgettaboutit, right?” So perhaps it’s hard for you to fathom that Vick got exactly what he deserved, and he’ll never redeem himself in many people’s eyes.
Those others deserved more outrage.
There’s no sliding scale on outrage, and I guess there’s no sliding scale on prayers either, so maybe there’s some fault in my logic. Praying for KG’s thigh so you have more entertainment come May and August is dumb. Beyond imagination.
So, in essence, I still don’t see how the two situations relate.

You know, I’ll leave on this note: had you said that MY outrage for should be higher for Stallworth and Roethlisberger and all the others who got off easy, then there would be a comparison.
And my outrage is higher. I don’t know much about Stallworth, but from what I read, I’m absolutely mystified how he got out of it. And I hate R*pethlisberger wayyyyyyyy more than I hate Vick, I think the dude should be locked up AWAY from society.
Saying Vick deserves less outrage because of those who got off is totally different.

@ Jukai. You’re in our prayers too man.

there’s no karma, there’s no god. there are lots of haters and b*tches tho. get better, KG.

Wow Celtics Are My Second Fav Team In The NBA Miami Heat First And I Hope Nothing To Serious Happend To Him!

For those who think Vick got what he deserved need to do some research and read some real articles from professional dog handlers who deal with situations Vick put himself in. Alot of those experts states Vick got to much time and most don’t get prison time, just a hefty fine and some years probation. What Vick got was not right and alot of people do this, but it does not make it right. There are alot of people higher than Vick that have been implicated of fighting and killing dogs and got not time in prison or way less time in prison. Vick was made an example of as a black man. Also people don’t know this but, more white people make money off dog fighting than blacks. Vick not goes talk each week to young folks about changing their life no matter what they do that is wrong and will always be under a microscope for some bad decisions. Also people need to realize that Vick grew up in a culture where dog fighting was not a big deal and everyone did it in his community also the cops allowed dog fighting to take place in his area from articles I read really getting into detail how he got started. He was done wrong, that’s why people are still upset about it. People who commit sexual assaults, murder, stealing get less time than what Vick got for killing animals, but VICK is OUT and playing great, so take that HYPOCRITES who do nothing WRONG and live in GLASS HOUSES, but like to throw stones. BOOK IT!!!!!

Everyone deserves prayer..period. As far as the Vick thing..his crimes were terrible but he got too much time. two sisters got life for their part in an $11.00 robbery and got out after 16yrs b/c the state didn’t want to pay medical bills for one of them. scum never see a courtroom when the have diplomatic immunity even after murdering a person. Justice is subjective but this is hoop. let’s play ball.

Shout out @BostonBaller.

Kevin Garnetts calves have got a whole lot of miles on them. I hope the FULL SQUAD are ready to go come play off time.

Co-sign Yep, also.
I was really going to ask a couple commenters about why people should not pray for what they want to pray for. I mean, some people up here really, REALLY have a “God complex”.
And, they have had this affliction for a long while.
I will not say names, for I am entirely sure that they know who they are.
Since when does it matter what people pray for? Muslims pray 5 times a day, no? Are any of those prayers wasted prayers? What is a wasted prayer, anyway?
Is one man’s/woman’s prayer better and more meaningful than another person’s?

Much respect to you Philosopher and have a Blessed New Year. I’ve only been on here a little over a year if that long but I’ve been down with SLAM since ish #1. Hands down the best mag in the business. The site is tight and regardless of whether I agree with each comment or not there is Freedom of speech. Tough loss to the Hornets but it’s a long season.

lol. tarzan knows nothing about mutual respect? tarzan knows nothing more than bad mouthing? tarzan open mouth & insert jane’s foot,

Then is proud because said female ball player was bigger and better than him.
Perhaps we shall never know her true pedigree.
Anyways, he even taunted AND laughed at her as he triumphantly trotted back on defense. At least that is what he told the world.
I, personally, believe that he EVEN performed some sort of “one man gang” full court press all the way up court (guarding her aggressively) after said flush.
Damn.

Shout out @Tarzan Cooper!
One of my guys.
