We learned this summer that Kevin Garnett views Dwight Howard as a clown and politely encourages him to paint his face during games. But now, we’re finding out that KG’s disdain for Howard runs a bit deeper than on-the-court quips. TNT’s Craig Sager shared this story during an appearance this morning on 98.5′s Toucher and Rich. Here’s my (loose) transcription: We had one (All-Star weekend interview) scheduled two years ago, Kevin Garnett with Dwight Howard. And it was set up through the NBA and I’m sitting there with Dwight Howard but no KG. I go back in the locker room and KG’s just sitting in his chair. Doc Rivers (who was coaching the team at the time) said, “KG, are you supposed to do an interview with Craig Sager?” KG said, “Yeah, but I’m not doing it with Dwight Howard standing there.” Then he obviously threw out some profanity and said there’s no way he’s going to stand there next to Dwight Howard to do an interview.

Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant were elected starters for Sunday night's NBA All-Star game in Houston.
Despite playing through a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Howard said Monday that he expects to play.

When your playing a game on the playground or on the court out by the beach it is not unusual to see--or hear guys do a little trash talking. The movie White Men Can't Jump counted on it to add some humor to the movie--well, because it's funny even when delivered in the most serious manner.

The Lakers (24-28) return home after finishing a 4-3 effort in their longest road trip of the season. That road trip started in a shocking 92-86 loss to the Phoenix Suns (17-35), a team that was and still at the bottom of the Western Conference. Needless to say, the purple and gold are looking for some payback tonight.
