Kevin Garnett - Jersey Burning (Adidas "We Not Me" Campaign, '07'08)

KG talks about what it was like when his mom first found out he had joined the high school team, after she explicitly forbade him from doing so.

Jersey burrrrrrned.


The orange he's referring to is the team color of the Mauldin Mavericks. He also mentioned his high school History teacher, Ms. Willoughby, who knitted his jersey back together for him.

This is part of the 2007-2008 Adidas "We Not Me" and "Basketball is a Brotherhood" campaign.

Is a shame that he is no more with Adidas

[garnetttribute]

@theprofessor23 He's still with Adidas, and has been with them since 2003.

@garnetttribute

It looks like the Big Ticket will be the next NBA superstar to jump ship on an American-recognized sneaker company and sign with a Chinese footwear brand. Baron Davis (Li-Ning) and Jason Richardson (Peak) are just a few to have already done so.

@theprofessor23 Whoa I think you're right. After his Adidas contact expires at the end of July, he will reportedly sign with the Chinese brand, Anta. According to reports, Anta will hold a press conference this Sunday in Beijing.

Mrs. Willoughby taught me in the 11th grade. I'm a 2007 graduate of Mauldin High School.
