Kevin Garnett's Act Takes Another Unfortunate Turn

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Garnett has a longstanding reputation as one of the NBA's most controversial on-court instigators.

Participation in physical proceedings has long been a prerequisite for Garnett's combative ways, and the story was no different when he was ejected barely four minutes into Monday night's 113-99 loss to the Houston Rockets. 

In the first quarter of the showdown, Garnett hit Dwight Howard with a quick shove before the Rockets big man retaliated, leading the Big Ticket to pelt his opponent with the ball prior to engaging him with a headbutt to the jaw, which is when things escalatedThe Garnett experience has always come bundled with an unpredictable confrontational component, but it was undeniably more palatable when he functioned as a defensive stalwart who churned out double-doubles.

At this waning stage of his career with the Nets quickly fading out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, Garnett has sadly been relegated to the role of a contentious showman who thrives in moments of chaos.
