Wally Szczerbiak bashes Kevin Garnett on twitter

Wally Szczerbiak working for CBS last night tweeted the following:
“KG is another one who lacks the #clutchgene. Always has!”

He later deleted the tweet (Probably was fearful of KG punching him in the face again).


Of course Kevin Garnett and Wally Szczerbiak used to be teammates in Minnesota and hated each other, mainly because Wally didn't have the "defensive gene." In fact the only year that the Wolves went far in the playoffs, Wally was demoted to the bench. Check Szczerbiak's twitter. There's a reason that his background is from his college days. He put up decent offensive numbers in the pros for a stretch of years, but who cares if you can score 20, but the guy you're guarding is dropping 30 on you?

Reports were that part of the reason that KG didn't want to be traded to Boston on draft night 2007 was because Szczerbiak was on the Celtics (C's traded Wally to Seattle that night instead, opening the door for the KG trade).
