Without further ado, here's the complete collection of Kevin Garnett's greatest stories. Kevin Garnett is crazy. We didn't give a fuck about LeBron. We didn't feel LeBron and we didn't think that he can beat all five of us and that's how it felt. He said something and I was just like, no English, no English man, sorry. Yo, first of all, I play with KG2 and most of those things can't go on TV. What? Some of them can't be told on TV. No, those are the ones we want to tell us. You know, me and him had some MF days because I would try to take him out of practice. You know, he's the mumble of crazy stuff like, boy, he's gonna come out of practice. Boy, he's gonna come out of practice. I was like, all right, warrior, you just gotta sit down right now. Bar fight. Tonight was a bar fight, man. We knew that he was gonna come in with a lot of in. Tonight was a bar fight. Yo, we've been in the bar fight. Hey, that's KG. Hey, KG, walk on the court. This first five minutes, he talking to himself, come on, motherfucker, let's go, motherfucker. He talking to himself the whole time, dawg. Mike, going into my rookie season, I didn't, you know, it was my first time being on NBA Charter Flight. You know, I got on the plane early, didn't want to be late. The stewardess asked me if I wanted crab cakes. I said, for sure, you know, who doesn't like a good crab cake? So I started eating, then the older guys came on after, KG didn't like that I ordered my food before those guys, so he grabbed my crab cake, gave it to Reggie Evans, and then he asked me to, well, he didn't ask me. He told me to serve the rest of the team until we were ready to take off. So, you know, the stewardess got a day off that day, but I learned to let the vets eat first. I was the only guy on my team under 25. I didn't have anybody backing me up. If you got to know their strength and numbers and those vets stick together. Before the Cleveland game one, I kept saying the word 20. I said, so 20, and the word is 20, and I kept saying 20. And everybody was looking at me, Kevin Garnett has to take 20 shots, 20 shots, 20. I said it like 19 times. It came to a point where we used to have to tell KG, hey, if you pass the ball out of the post again, it's going to be a problem. Go to work like he was dead unselfish. And finally, the whole team started joining in, 20, 20. Kevin was pissed because he was such a team player. I would call the timeout and yell at KG, say, I said, move the ball. And he said, yeah, that's what I'm doing. I said, no, no, we're saying move it to you so you can shoot it. Not so you can pass it. But Kevin was so unselfish as a player. There were many times that I had to give him a number before the game. As far as you have to take this many shots for us to win, he's the only guy I've ever had to do that to. And I used to tell him, Kevin, sometimes we're moving the ball to you. Right, that's the point. We don't want you to pass it once it hits you, but he was great. Somehow in 2010, we were going around and everyone was having arm wrestling contests, and Glenn, Big Baby Davis, was crushing everybody. I mean, Big Baby Davis is incredibly strong. He's a big boy. He's not a baby. And so he was crushing everybody. In the middle of the car game, KG stands up like, hey, sit down, we got the arm wrestling. And one by one, whoever took on Big Baby Davis, they lost. Until we got on the plane, 35,000 feet up in the air, Big Baby, KG, they sit down and we're all thinking KG's done. There's no way. On the go. No one moves. So you know what? I'm thinking right away, I just saw Big Baby go down to 14, but it was easy. So I'm thinking, this is going to be the moment, this is going to be the one moment where Kevin Gardner loses. This is going to be the moment where, like, we're going to see his ego hurt. And I mean, I was convinced. And Big Baby's trying his hardest. And Kevin said, I'm not moving. And there's a little bit of profanity in there, but I'm not moving. I'm not moving. And he just started sweating, just started, I ain't moving. I ain't moving. And he just sat there, I'm not moving. And about a minute and 30 goes by, Big Baby, his shoulder starts to fatigue out, and Garnet starts going, going and slams Big Baby down. And he won, then he stood up, he turned around, wiped me the wrong sweat. Don't you guys ever forget it now? There was some profanity. Yeah. He probably didn't say anything. He probably said, in this, there was sweat coming down, but the thing is, what it proves is Garnet against all odds, because Big Baby should have won that arm wrestling contest. Against all odds, he's going to compete at the highest level and figure out a way. To me, at 35,000 feet, seeing KG sweat profusely and spit all over kids on the plane, that was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Hey, out of the people you named, you know, KG, Duncan, Weber, Vashid, Dirk, who was your toughest personal battle? Oh, KG by far. It's not even close. Because like, he was my idol. And so early on, I want to say in my second year, I had a good game against him. The very next game, he would grab me. And I had never experienced someone so strong before. And he's going to talk big shit to you, too. Oh, man. Dude. I had to get over it, man. I had to get over it. I had to, like, you know, go to the temple and, like, do some meditation, bro. He got me one time so good, bro, in a game. And I had a terrible game, too. He called me a mama's boy. Oh, my God. And this is on top of the, forget all the curse words, you know, MFM back and forth. He said, wait, wait. Hey, man. Yo, what man? You a mama's boy. And I was like, ooh. And my, my bro, my mind was gone. He didn't score in that four. Here it is again. Look at, look at, look at Gornette up under him. See, Chris Bosh, you got to swing the ball through. And I let him, I'm like, man, who, man, who are you talking to, bro? And that woke him up and shut me down. I probably, I probably scored five points. I got dominated and embarrassed. I was just like, bro, I'm in my seat. I'm in my bed. Just can't sleep. Just like, well, he mean mama's boy. I ain't no damn mama's boy, you know what I'm saying? Ever since that day, I said, I'm okay. I'm not no trash talk. I can't even. I'm trying to think of comebacks and the game's still going. You know what I mean? I'm like, yeah, I'm going to say this to him. Like, you got five, bro. One thing we should mention if we're bringing up KG, I know I told you this story, but it's great for TV, right? Remember when you came to Boston and you were blitzing us in the first half? I mean, you were forging us in the first half. So anyways, and I got to know Lee this night. Perkins has Duncan. And so, you know, we surrounded the game plan around stopping Genovely. And so we look up. I think we're down like six at the half. And Kevin has Matt Bonner. Matt Bonner has 20 points at the half. He had nine points in the first quarter, but he was not the star of the first half. It was New Hampshire native Matt Bonner brought a couple of bus loads worth of friends and family down from New Hampshire to watch him go to work. And Matt Bonner was out of his gourd. I'm happy for my former teammate, the red rocket. And so I'm walking down the hallway, going to the locker room half-time. And I'm like, who the hell got Matt Bonner? Paul Pierce sits right next to KG. And Paul is the greatest at knowing how to like poke the bear, right? Knowing that KG has, right? And I'm yelling that I'm yelling out. And I'm like, I'm doing all this work to stop Genovely. Matt Bonner got 20. So Paul Pierce stands up at half-time before the coaches came in. It's like, hey man, who has Matt Bonner? And he knew Garnett had Matt Bonner, right? So who's got Bonner? Someone's got to step up and take Bonner. Big baby, you going to step up and take Bonner? Scout, you going to step up and take Bonner? By the way, his best friend on the team is getting blitzed by you, right? All of a sudden KG has a water bottle with the cap on. And he was so furious. He squeezed the water bottle and the cap flew up and won. And it took me, I had, you know, like all the willpower in the world, not to fall on the floor crying that this thing is happening right now. But that was just an unbelievable story. He gave me like three F-bars. You know who got Matt Bonner. You know why he got 20? Because I'm out here helping out, you know? And we went face to face. And I was like, all right, dude, we'll guard him then. Well, what I remember is in the second half, coming out at halftime, I check into the game and KG's eyes light up. He starts like foaming at the mouth. I imbound the side, imbound the ball, and I start running up the court and he picks me up full court. Does the old like, camp of champions slap the ground. Defense! He's like right in my face, like snarling. And I'm like, oh my God, I did the third quarter. I just checked in. He's gonna kill me. So now I know why. What is your most memorable trash talk moment? Well, not mine, but my most memorable is my big brother, my teammate, Kevin, gone there. All right. So I remember, it's game six when the, no, actually it's game seven. Another celeb crowd in Boston. These fans have cheered their team on to a perfect seven and old playoff record. And they're trying to make it another one to advance them to the conference finals. Kevin Garnett. And the Boston Celtics all tied up with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Three games apiece. We playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James. In 2008, Jay-Z and Beyoncé sitting on the sideline. And KG gets a rebound. He goes to the free throw line. I mean, he gets fouled. He goes to the free throw line. He's huffing and puffing. He's talking to us. LeBron, he telling LeBron, there's no, ain't no rocking the building tonight. I'm only rocking here today. And I'm like, what did you come up with there? Did you rehearse that last night? Like, I just didn't understand. Like, he had the best punch lines. I'm like, oh, you had to crib rehearsing that, though? All right, here we go. Ready? Because you have famous beef with Joakim Noah. I don't have any beef with any Bob. He's beefless. Can you tell us your first interaction with Joakim Noah? Listen, I don't have any. We don't have interaction. I'm having interaction. I'll handle this, Kevin. He does not need that. That's gone. That's the end of the interview. We're here competing. I'm not going to give you anything. The end of the story was Joakim Noah. It was like, you were my idol growing up. And Kevin just turned to me and said, fuck you, Noah. I don't know. He asked real shit. He asked me the move I just gave him. They could figure it out. What have you done to me? A.G. gave him, he kind of backed him, backed him, turned around a pump fake step side. He shot the ball from the baseline. And it was a move I seen Kevin work on a lot. And next time down the floor, Joakim Noah said, he's my big fella. That was, you know, that was great move. How did you, how did you, I need you to teach me that. And he was like, KG was like, man, get off my dick. Fuck, I look like. Fuck, I look like, man. Get that out of you. Get that out of you. And you got a bulls right now. I get mad. Cool. All right. So tell us your side of that story. I'm going to tell you straight up. KG was, first of all, I just don't understand how, I don't think he remembers because I think the story meant a lot more to me than it did to him. Right. What's, what sucks is that when I was growing up, I used to have his poster in my room. I used to wear his jersey. And the truth is, you know, my rookie year, you know, I was, you know, in admiration of this guy. And, and, you know, he kind of shut me down. And, you know, he was very mean to me, my rookie year. He was like, Kevin, I had posters of you when I was growing up. Listen, it's a time and place for everything. You don't ask someone during the game or during competition to, no, no, not me. You don't ask me anything during competition. I'm not, I can't, you can't focus. Right. We're here competing. I'm not going to give you anything. The end of the story was joking. I was like, you were my idol growing up and Kevin just turned around and said, fuck you, Noah. I had KG posters in my wall. I had a fucking KG jersey growing up. So this is the story. This is what happened. The first time I played KG, I'm hype as hell. Like we're playing the Celtics. I'm on the bulls. And I think they're up like 30 points. And I'm in the game. Like it's like the last seconds, like nobody gives a shit. So we're at the free throw line. And he used to work out with this guy called Joe Bunasar. And I was working out with him for pre draft. So I was always excited. I was always hoping like KG would walk in the gym. And you know, I was, I would be able to like work out with him. And I remember asking him a question about, you know, you like, you going, you going to work out with Joe? I was just trying to be cool. Like I was just wanting to be, I just wanted to say something to my idol. And he just like looked over and he was like, you know, like who the fuck are you talking to? Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? And then like when he said that, I was like, oh shit. I shouldn't have. And then like, I kind of fell back knowing that I shouldn't, I shouldn't have said that like not, not during the game. Right. You know. And then I didn't say anything. And then when I didn't say anything, I guess he thought I was the fucking, I guess he thought I was pussy or something because he was like, he kept like getting like louder and louder. And then I was like, and then from that, from that moment on, I swear to God, I was like, yo, I'm going at him. Every single time we play, we are going at it. Every single time we play, we are going at it. And he's only mean to the young guys and the year olds for some reason. You know, I don't know why, but he's, that's who he doesn't like. He's surely villain away by two. I mean, what was that all about? Did you guys catch the villain away of a story? I mean, it's just not nice stuff to say, you know. Anything KG was on was always a big, a big game. Let me listen to KG. KG used to like, he had more antics dog to him. I don't know, like maybe because you guys were about the same size, like he didn't do that shit to you. I don't know. But like he talked the most shit. And like, I remember one time he hit me with like a bow, like to see what I was going to do. Like, you know what I mean? Just trying to kind of like punk you a little bit. And so the next time I came down, I saw everyone writing his ribs and he looked at me like, he left me alone after that. But like, that's who he is, right? Like that's what he tried to do. He said that you, he said that you, it would frustrate him the most that he would talk all his shit, but she would smile and say like good job and stuff. Like that would piss him off the most. Duncan, people would not see him verbally saying stuff because he wouldn't talk in sentences. Timmy would hit you in phrases. Got you almost. Just the worst right here. Nice try. Like subtle shit. No games to shit. No real hardcore shit. Just to subtly, just back your ass up and put you back in like this over here. Why would you never engage in trash talk, Tim? With him, because that's what he wanted. Okay. That's what he wanted. He wanted to get you outside yourself. He wanted to piss you off and kind of control the situation. Like, you know, and then what really, what really, really, really pissed me off was when the trash talk wasn't affecting him. So now you're spending all this energy trying to rile this up. You know, I forgot about your own game. You forgot about they coming to you that you're supposed to. And then that's when I actually quit talking trash to Timmy because he wouldn't respond or he wasn't giving me the reaction that was going on. Yeah. Yeah. So my more thing is just like kind of poke there. Just kind of poke him a little bit. Bro. Piss him off a little bit. And then they react and poke him again. I can't get really good hype off. This thing ain't really giving me nothing. Look at now. You know what's going on. You know, doing a little, you know, the shoulder shit and he won't react to that. Yeah. You know, Timmy got 20, 20, 15. So then I started changing that. So what's the real story on that story? I'm going to clean this up for the world right here. I want you to tell the story with you and KG, the big ticket story. I'm a rookie and it's kind of like the first day everybody's coming back and they're getting acclimated and, you know, they playing pickup. Everybody's working out and stuff like that. So we have a pickup game. You know, he's the four and I'm the four. So I get the ball at the wing and I shoot it. Like I shoot it. I tell myself I tell myself I'm talking to myself though. Get up. Get it up. He turned look like that little motherfucker. You talking shit. First, you know what I'm saying? Cause I'm really aware with crazy stuff like that. Right. I'm like, I ain't talking shit to you. I'm talking to myself, big fella. Like I ain't at you. He was like, and then I was like, I'm just trying to get my list swag. They say, fuck your swag. Then, you know, the other side of me was like, okay, well, fuck your swag. Yeah. And I'm literally like, yo, fuck your swag. Yeah. I'm running back. He's like, all right, shit, shit. All right. You know how he born. Like a bull. Yeah. Okay. This bitch is like, you know what I'm saying? That's how you say that. So you know me. I'm like, all right. This is what I got to do to get on. You come out. Right. Me being a rookie the next day, I'm thinking like I'm in there early. Ticket walk right by me. I'm like, what's up, Ticket? He just walked. Like he ain't even see me. Like he ain't want to talk to me. You know what I mean? Don't acknowledge me. You see what's up. That crushed me. I got to make this right. Like, so you know, I walked up to him. And I was like, bro, did I do something wrong to you? You know, yesterday I thought that stayed on the court. If I did, I apologize. And he looked at me and he was like, you know, we're young and I fuck with you. And after that, we was locked in. Garnett doesn't miss words. And sometimes it's tough. And now, David's down at the end with a towel on his head. Garnett didn't want to come back in the game, but he's had to because what was a 25 point lead is now 13. Funk was just frustrated. And he was in a moment to where we all felt he needed a second. So, you know, he went to the end of the bench and, you know, he cried and had a moment with himself. But I'm going to roll with a guy who's going to show me his heart and wear his heart on his sleeve and go and play with passion over anything. I saw him play Austin Rivers when he was like a junior high school. Right. He got like a bucket on ticket. No, no, no. Let me tell you. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yo, crazy. So we come in. So we come into practice probably two hours early. Everybody's in there. So we got practice. I'm saying 10. Everybody's in there about 830. So in there, Austin Rivers is seeing his father. You know, they should come up and visit his dad because his dad, they were still living in Florida. Imagine he juiced up too. Man, he juiced up, man. This kid is juiced up. Every guy's coming in. He's feeling himself. He had a little joint. So he playing one-on-one with Paul. So then, you know, I see him and Paul. He could Paul play ones in the morning just to get himself going before practice. So he's, you know, playing one. He's giving Paul some good work, you know? Then Perk like, hold on, let me get some of this. I got to get some of this because he's the stopper. Everybody, if you want to see what your game is, you play Perk one-on-one, right? Perk, get it up. Perk ain't going for no pump fakes. He's just real sound. Man, he giving Perk the business. Austin Rivers. Yeah, got him. I come in here. So I'm like, I came in here and, you know, he's playing gosh to five. I think he's Mott's. I think he, I think he beat play. And then he Mott, Perk 5-0 and, you know. Yeah, can't go to court. Can't go to court. Can't go to court. I came in from the weight room and he rolled the ball. And I said, what? And I looked at it, hit my toes. I said, what? He said, check. I said, check. Yeah, dad. Everybody like, ooh. And then, you know, I'm a dragon, bro. I'm a dragon. And I know this is, I know your dad, the coach. So I got to be real careful how I let this dragon out. This is a kid. This is a high school kid. Got a lot of confidence. But I'm a dragon. Just throw the ball to me. So call me collective. I just, you know, kick the ball to him. Walk back. He says, check. Now went on the other side of the check. You know, when you're checking on the bottom. So I got on the top. I said, you're a kid. What you mean? You check. Get the ball. Like, you don't get the ball first. Yeah, he was on him. So I took the round and gave him the ball. And my shoes was untied. And he shot the first one and missed it. Matter of fact, he made it. He made it. He won the five. He made the five. Boom. I said, hold on. I saw off the over. He dunked it. Remember, he dunked it. And the ball went all in. And I went like this. I said, hold on. And I tied my shoe. And I heard a piece say, yeah. I heard him and TA say, yeah, tie them shoes. Kill them. And that's when the dragon came out. And I just, I'm off thing five one. I had to go dragging. He had so much swag. I was like, man, do I spit fire on him? When I saw how hard he dunked it. I know this kid said, let me tie you up. I tied up. And I went five straight. But I tapped him. Keep working on your game. He was hot. He threw the ball. He was a scrap. He was hot. Damn threw him out. Get out. Go get him. This is why you got mopped up. Let's start practicing. Listen. That's what I knew, man. This man is not losing nobody. That's what I knew. That's what I knew right there. Austin Rivers is going to be in our league about two years. Yeah, he said that. You said that. I said, he's going to be in our league about two years. He said that. Man, you're a pro. He hated losing. He wanted to fight. That's incredible. Then I almost slapped him in that horn game. You know what I'm saying? You want me to calm down, boy? You want? You remember that? During the one game, he said something. And I caught myself. Boy, you don't miss guys. When he made it to the league. He got to the league. We got into. He said something real slick. And I almost raised up the slap. And I caught myself like, man, I ain't finished. Kick that. I can, boy, let me quit. Subscribe if you're new for NBA content.
