Future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett and talent-laden Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins are two of the NBA’s more, um, “talkative” players. So of course the big men are both going to talk quite a bit about a subject that we didn’t even deign to talk about here at Ball Don’t Lie – the NBA’s selections for February’s Rookie/Sophomore contest , to be held on All-Star weekend. DeMarcus was rightfully ticked that diminutive Sacramento point guard Isaiah Thomas wasn’t selected for the sophomore side. Kevin Garnett? He busted out his tinfoil hat as a way defending teammate ( and bro for life ) Jared Sullinger, who was passed over for a spot on the rookie squad. From WEEI : “Really? I’m actually shocked,” Garnett said. Then he expanded upon those thoughts. “It doesn’t surprise me,” he said. “This league has, I guess, an agenda in what they want. And Jared’s not in that agenda. I hope it creates a monster within him. I hope it does everything [to] encourage him.”
