Kevin Garnett is not Bart Simpson and would prefer you not try to eat his shorts.
Gerald Wallace nearly incited another Brooklyn Nets-Boston Celtics brawl when he grabbed Garnett's shorts after a foul during the fourth quarter of Boston's 93-76 win Tuesday. The Nets forward initially was hanging on to stabilize himself, but he exceeded the respectable time limit.
GAME: Rondo leads Celtics to easy win
BOX SCORE: Celtics 93, Nets 76
Garnett took umbrage and got in Wallace's face, with the two starters drawing technical fouls alongside Nets forward Andray Blatche and Celtics guard Courtney Lee.
So yeah, the NBA started Christmas off with a near-brawl.
