We all know how Big tickets mandate with the Boston Celtics went. Kevin Garnett teamed with future Hall of Famers Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to win a title in 2008 and come close several times after that.
Many Celtics fans may also remember his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves before joining Boston. But what about this prep-to-pro phenom who most weren’t sure would make it at the NBA level due to a physique and skill set that, at the time, were unique? On a recent episode of the Showtime podcast “KG Certified,” Garnett joins his former Farragut Academy head coach 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 NBA’s next big thing, this is the video for you.
