When it comes to Michele T., KG likey!
Moments after becoming a NBA champion, Kevin Garnett couldn't resist, yet again, the desire to hit on Michele Tafoya as the sports reporter interviewed him on ABC-TV.
"Michele, you look good tonight, girl," KG said to Tafoya, who replied with a fairly business-like "Thank you, Kevin."
Total non sequitur, as you can see at www.faniq.com.
As you may know, KG and Tafoya probably met in Minnesota. He played for the Wolves until they got rid of the wrong Kevin and traded him to the Celtics in Boston, where his first season ended with a championship. Good for him. She worked at KFAN-AM and WCCO-TV before going national, but she still is based here.
KG's title-night pass at Tafoya might be nothing were it not for a comment he made when she was interviewing him after a playoff victory over the Pistons: "You look good in your pink, girl."
It should be noted that during the season coach Phil Jackson also commented in a post-game interview about how nice Tafoya looked in her dress.
Because Jackson is more sophisticated than KG, Phil should know that these interviews are professional settings. Those kind of comments are out of bounds. They also lead to YouTube.com numbskulls posting ridiculous tag lines suggesting that Tafoya was Jackson's mistress. Everything I've heard about the married mother of one suggests she takes her wedding vows seriously.
