Haslem calls KG a fake tough guy: 'He wouldn't throw rice at a wedding'
Miami Heat enforcer Udonis Haslem is not afraid of 39-year-old veteran Kevin Garnett.
Haslem was interviewed by NBC sports anchor Adam Kuperstein about Garnett, and fake tough guys in general. Haslem hit Garnett with a zinger.
Udonis Haslem calls fake tough guys "studio." I asked him, is Kevin Garnett studio? UD: "Fo sho. He wouldn't throw rice at a wedding"

Haslem's opinion of Garnett is certainly not unique. Just ask Joakim Noah.
Always a heated competitor and never one to avoid controversy, Garnett has frequently engaged in tussles across his 20-year career. He's certainly not afraid to throw a dirty elbow, or a cheap shot below the belt.
Haslem's point is that after instigating a scuffle, Garnett usually turns to his patented "hands up" move, before backing away from any physical altercation.
Haslem, meanwhile, is one of those classic enforcers who isn't afraid to start something and see it through.
