Kevin Garnett nearly pulled a Mike Tyson during Sunday’s Nets-Bulls game, almost taking a bite out of Joakim Noah’s hand. KG gave the former boxer a shout-out following the game.
“I know how to bite somebody,” he said. “Obviously I was messing around in that moment. If I wanted to bite him, I’d have just … shout out to Mike Tyson.
“He’s a competitor, I’m a competitor, we’re banging … it is what it is. Every time we’ve played, there’s always something. But I respect the guy, respect the Bulls … everybody over there. I respect everyone in this league.”
Noah had a bit different stance on the bite attempt. “Kevin Garnett tried to bite me. That’s crazy man. It’s unbelievable,” Noah said. “I don’t even know what to say.”
