Hawks owner calls Kevin Garnett the NBA's dirtiest player
Every player and coach works the officials before, during and after games. Why should owners be different?
Atlanta Hawks co-ownerMichael Gearon Jr., was a guest speaker at the W.E.B. Du Bois Society andD. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports he made a plea for the NBA to even up the fouls in the Boston-Atlanta series.
"...we don't get any calls, which I know everybody always hears. But I'll give you a stat. (Tuesday) night, we are playing this old physical team. They are old. I know what happens when you play basketball, old guys foul. (Kevin) Garnett is the dirtiest guy in the league. We are playing Boston last night and they had two fouls the whole first half. We had five times that and we're athletic."
The two teams play tonight in Boston with the Celtics holding a 3-2 series lead.
