It's one thing to compare Villanueva with Whoopy Goldberg and another to make fun of cancer victims to trash talk. KG for the dick of the year award.

One of the tweets says: "KG called me a cancer patient, I'm pissed because, u know how many people died from cancer, and he's tossing it like it's a joke."
Garnett is known for his trash talking on the court. Villanueva suffers from alopecia universalis, a medical condition that results in hair loss. The Detroit forward does not have hair on his head.
The Pistons confirmed that Villanueva posted the tweets but had no further comment.
Another tweet from Villanueva says that Garnett's alleged comments hit home.
"I wouldn't even trip about that, but a cancer patient, I know way 2 many people who passed away from it, and I have a special place 4 those," the tweet reads.
Garnett scored 22 points and had six rebounds in the Celtics' 109-86 victory. Villanueva had 17 points and seven rebounds off the bench for the winless Pistons. Villanueva would like to take the battle off the court.
"KG talks alot of crap, he's prob never been in a fight, I would love to get in a ring with him, I will expose him," another tweet reads.
