Unlike Kevin Garnett, Kristaps Porzingis never got practice cancelled by playing charades

KP >>>> KG

We here at P&T operate under a set of guiding principles -- two of the most important being the belief that Kristaps Porzingis is an infallible star-child and Kevin Garnett is a shit-eating weasel.

Never have those two dichotomous thoughts come into such stark relief as when we read this anecdote from ESPN's Jackie MacMullan about the time KG sabotaged a Boston Celtics practice session in 2009 when he refused an order from coach Doc Rivers to sit out:

Garnett, forbidden to take the floor by his own coach, had concocted his revenge: He would track the movements of power forward Leon Powe, the player who had replaced him in the lineup.
