"It was a bar fight."

That's what Kevin Garnett had to say after a Boston comeback win against Orlando last week.

That got us thinking about all of the possibilities for Garnett. We've come up with a list of 10 NBA players we would like to see him matched up against in a bar room brawl.

Some make the list because of past reputations and some crack the list for many other reasons.

Feel free to leave your own list, but let's take a look at our 10 picks.

Metta World Peace

We aren't fooled by the name change.

There's still some Ron Artest inside Metta Wold Peace. Artest and Garnett in a bar fight would make the Palace look like nap time at a day care.

Just stay out of their way and they will tear the place down.

I can see a pay per view opportunity out of this matchup.

Nate Robinson

With Robinson we have the NBA's version of David vs. Goliath.

It's the 6'11" Garnett against the 5'9" Robinson.

We will know for sure after this brawl if size matters.

Joakim Noah

Noah seems like he could handle himself just fine in a bar fight environment.

After matching up against each other in a physical Eastern Conference battle, Round 2 could take place at any local pub.

Blake Griffin

Here we have the battle of the new guard against the old guard of NBA power forwards.

Garnett has been passed up by the likes of Griffin and other young studs.

This is Garnett's chance to show he's not totally washed up.

Hide the pool cues.

Chris Anderson

The Bird Man just looks like a guy that knows his way around a bar room brawl.

As a likely veteran of a brawl or two, Anderson might be the early favorite in this battle of big men.

Ben Wallace

Wallace will instigate this brawl after a late night of drinking becomes heated.

Don't forget the role that Wallace played in starting the brawl at the Palace, so starting a bar fight should be no big deal.

With both guys being close to on their way out of the NBA, we can add a stipulation to this brawl.

Loser leaves the NBA.

Dwight Howard

This battle of NBA heavyweights could start because Boston isn't one of the teams on Howard's trade list.

With all the drama Howard is causing in Orlando, Garnett could give him something else to complain about instead of his desire to be traded.

LeBron James

Whether it's the media calling out LeBron's late game failures or other players becoming jealous of how good he is, James has a target on his back.

He's the best player in the game. He's supposed to.

Here's Garnett's chance to knock James off the top of the mountain.

Stephen Jackson

Garnett has always had a mouth on him and so does Jackson.

These two personalities definitely couldn't co-exist after a few cocktails.

Jackson also played a big role in the brawl at the Palace, so a bar fight would be right up his alley.

Manu Ginobili

This last one is hard to explain, but having to play against Ginobili would be enough to piss anyone off enough to want to fight him.

He's like a gnat at a barbecue on the court. He's always involved in everything.

Whether he's making a shot to beat you, flopping to get a call or just getting under the opposition's skin, Ginobili can make the opposition mad.

What makes them more angry is the fact that he's so good.

Garnett against Ginobili wouldn't be a mismatch.
