We all know what The Big Ticket’s time with the Boston Celtics was like. Kevin Garnett won a title in 2008 alongside future Hall of Famers Ray Allen and Paul Pierce and came close several times after that.
Many Celtics fans may also remember his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves before he was signed to Boston’s roster. But what about the prodigy who went from pro to pro, and who most weren’t sure would make it to the NBA level because he had a physique and skills that were unique at the time? In a recent episode of the Showtime podcast “KG Certified,” Garnett joins his former head coach from Farragut Academy, Wolf Nelson, and former teammate Ronnie Fields.
If you want a glimpse into a lesser-known era of KG’s experience before he cut his teeth as the next big star in the NBA, this video is for you.
