Heat Central: Davion Mitchell lists his all time starting 5: PG: Gary Payton SG: Kobe Bryant SF: LeBron James PF: Kevin Garnett C: Shaq (Via miamiheat TT) 🤔
NBA Courtside: Draymond Green on people calling him a idiot for saying Caleb Wilson’s floor is Kevin Garnett: “I said that with all due respect to Kevin Garnett, but just saying, yo, this kid can be that special. So if I say Kevin Garnett’s the floor, by no mean am I dimming Kevin Garnett’s light. I’m not capable of dimming Kevin Garnett’s light. He’s Kevin Garnett. What I’m saying is I think this kid can be that good.” (Via @DraymondShow)
Kevin Garnett on Jaylen Brown trade: It’s like Minnesota kicking themselves over the KAT trade. I think Boston gonna look back on this. It’s like when KD left Golden State and then he turned around like what the fu*k, like this one of the moments where you don’t break a great thing up. This is a great thing. They just had to you know and then two, man. Keep it real man those two have been tested through the think time and time. So this is just relationship it ain’t always going to be great. You know what I’m saying? But it would have to be something detrimental for me to break that up.
Fullcourtpass: Giannis Antetokounmpo is open to returning to the Bucks later in his career "That would be awesome if I can go and play and maybe come back. Kevin Garnett did the same thing. I saw this clip of him walking into the [Timberwolves'] arena and [the fans] gave him a standing ovation and people to this day love him, and some people don't always feel—" (h/t @BucksLead)

Damjan Rudez: 'Kevin Garnett didn't just want to beat you; he wanted to destroy you and find that 1% edge by getting inside your head. He demanded that everyone be on his irrational level of intensity, or he had no use for you. I saw him do this to Anthony Bennett in a way that was hard to watch. It wasn't just 'trash talk'; it was a level of verbal aggression involving things you wouldn't even say to an enemy. But that was his power. He would admit that before a game, he would imagine the opponent insulting his family just to get himself into a state of 'choosing violence'. In a quiet gym during a preseason game, the first 20 rows of the audience could hear everything he was saying. He sought to defeat you completely, not just win the game'
He will become the 13th player in NBA history to reach a 20th season, joining LeBron James, Vince Carter, Chris Paul, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Kevin Willis, Robert Parish, Kyle Lowry, Udonis Haslem, Jamal Crawford, Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. "I knew a few off the top of my head, but I hadn't seen the list," Al Horford told ESPN. "It's hard to believe. It's something that, for me, I'm very grateful. It's just so hard to be in this league for that amount of years. There's a lot of commitment, a lot of sacrifice and time. I still feel like I'm able to contribute and have an impact on a team."
Kevin Garnett on Victor Wembanyama: One thing I want to speak on is just Wemby's development. If I'm him, I’m working on core strength because when… Paul will tell you, I'm not the biggest guy, right? But he'll tell you when I sit down and post up, can you move me? Paul Pierce: No, he's strong. Garnett: I'm probably one of the strongest people you could ever run up on and look like how I look, but when it came down there to setting up on that block and then pitching and getting it off down there, yeah, I was the best at that. I would love to work with Big Fella, but this generation has a preference on how they want to work out. And I have to respect that. But yeah, I'm open to all… Listen, I'm looking for big years from not just Wemby. I'm looking for big years from Chet Holmgren. I'm looking for a big summer from Zion Williamson. I'm looking for a big summer from Kyrie Irving. I'm looking for Jayson Tatum to have a big summer.
Sam Mitchell: Kevin Garnett was very superstitious about everything. Everything before every game had to go in a certain order at a certain time. What he ate, what he drank, the way the hot packs were put on his knees. Clayton Wilson, our equipment manager, had to write something on his taped ankles before every game at a certain time. Like, it was routine. So he had this thing about a $2 bill putting in his sock some kind of… and I collected it. What he didn't realize, he didn't know that. So when he lost the $2 bill for some reason Clayton was always stirring the pot.

Sam Mitchell: Clayton would be like ‘KG, Mitch got a bunch of $2 bills! I guarantee you he found yours.’ And KG just going ‘oh…’. So I go in my wallet. I pull out like 15 $2 bills I got folded up. I’m like, "I've been collecting these since the day they came out." And but again, you have to understand, he couldn't play. He would not play. I remember a game Clayton was busy. Couldn't write on his tape. KG called a timeout 2 minutes into the game. Flip like, "What are you…!” “Flip, I got to get Clayton,” and Flip was just… Because he understood he was not going to be right until he Clayton wrote whatever he writes on his ankles.
“It very much feels like Kevin Garnett,” Schultz said, “which means he will win.” Garnett won a championship in his first season in Boston in 2008 after spending 12 years as the face of the franchise in Minnesota. He served as a mentor to Towns early in his career, and now KAT is following in his footsteps. “Time is a flat circle,” Patrick Fenelon deadpanned.
While the basketball world largely celebrated the raw passion of a young superstar leading a young roster to the Finals, Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett was far less impressed. The former season MVP and champion ripped the Le Chesnay native for crying it out, offering harsh criticism on the latest episode of his Ticket and the Truth podcast. “The Alien got to go through some heartache to be able to tell the fairy tale Hallmark card story. You understand? He got to go through some bulls–t. He’s crying in the motherf—g Western Conference Finals? That was too emotional for me,” Garnett claimed. “He’s got four more games to try to get. You’ve got to go through the Finals now.”
Kevin Garnett: "Chet was the biggest letdown in the playoffs. Moments like this either make you or break you. Okay, so we expected him to be a certain way and he wasn't, right? Now this is your summer to go fix and get yourself better."
