Kid Responds to KG's "Cancer Patient" Taunt

[massphatness]

Boston Celtic Kevin Garnett may or may not have derisively referred to Piston's forward Charlie Villanueva as a "cancer patient". Villanueva has alopecia areata, a disorder which causes hair loss.

See a Boston-area kid's attempt to educate Garnett on the disorder HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiN9DrK_gfc)

Full disclosure: the kid in the video is the son of my colleague's boyfriend

interesting story, the bright side is the education everyone is receiving about the disorder and stories on cancer patient's struggles.

End the end it is a couple of grown men trash talking IMO:

My best employee developed this disease a few years back, a Native American with thick, black hair for most of his life and now not a hair on him. Besides the obvious bald head, one begins to understand the need for eyebrows and eyelashes, especially in a dusty environment.

Players these days dont have any respect for themselves let alone a fellow player, plus many of them didn't learn anything in school since they were passed along for sports and not for smarts.
