Kevin Garnett nearly bites Joakim Noah (Video)

Kevin Garnett is one of the most intense players in the NBA, and this time he almost took things too far.

At one point during Sunday’s Bulls-Nets game, Garnett tried to bite Joakim Noah. KG wasn’t very aggressive with it, but he still made the motion with his mouth.

Noah couldn’t believe what KG nearly did to him:

Noah: "Kevin Garnett tried to bite me. That's crazy. That's amazing."

Noah on KG bite: "I’m happy he didnt connect. If somebody tries to bite you, I think it’s a little bit more than trying to get in your head"

Noah on KG: "We’ve been doing some winning against him lately. I know how competitive he is and I know it drives him crazy to lose."

Garnett says this is being overblown, because he knows he could have actually bitten Noah if he wanted to:

KG: "If I wanted to bite (Noah), I would've. Shout out to Mike Tyson."

That was definitely more “snapping turtle” than it was “actual bite,” but it was still wild. That KG, man. He’s a different breed.
