KG tells a wild story about his first interaction with Pat Riley: “F you mean, why you in here?"

Kevin Garnett tells a draft story about how he met Hall of Fame coach/gm & executive Pat Riley before being drafted.

[@TheKos2Kos]

Par riley be on some shit for real. My dad is from chicago but raised me in miami. About 20 years ago my dad gets cut off on the road by pat riley and pat riley threw my dad the middle finger. Little does pat know my great grandfather in Chicago used to be pay a young tim Hardaway, senior, to mow his long. Maybe tim would of never had enough money for a basketball without my family's support 🤓. Still love pat though

[@alopez1571]

Blasphemy comparing KG to Big Fundamentals: Timmy carried his teams for almost 20 years. Great Post Game, that midrange bank shot was money, he had to be double teamed which made game easier for teammates. KG won a chip being 3rd option.

[@Bonescratcher]

@@alopez1571 you’re exactly the type of people I was talking about 😂😂 Tim didn’t carry anything bruh. He played on a star studded team his entire career jam packed with future hall of famers and probably the greatest coach that ever lived. Sure he was the best player but that doesn’t mean he carried them. KG played on a garbage team with garbage players and a garbage coach until he was past his prime and teamed up with Pierce and Allen on the Celtics and won a ring. And if you think he was the 3rd option on that team you’re clueless. In those playoffs he averaged the most points, highest fg%, most rebounds, most blocks, and most steals. But sure he was somehow the 3rd option 🤣🤣

[@JJ-co2pd]

Okay, duncan and kg were great…. But sheed, webber and poor mans bird. Man first two are great last three are good at best. Big man era came and went already when these guys were in the league. Duncan will probably be the last true pf to grace the league. Pushing the game outside has limited true post players ability to impact because they don’t spread the court…

[@TheRobj0223]

@@JJ-co2pd how old are you? Because the last 3 were also different in their own way dirk was the BEST FOREIGN BIG MAN SCORER, Webber was an elite athletic big with great passing skill. Rasheed was an all around SCORER from either block, right or left handed and can stretch the floor. And 2 of the last 3 got a chip and was a key player to a championship. Web was robbed and til this day is talked about. You Clearly telling me you didn't see any of these guys in their prime without saying it. A poor man's bird. Every guy on my list are LEGIT 4s.

I’m from Chicago 54yrs born and raised Rockwell Gardens Projects Westside Black Panther raised, civil rights movement seen all that, VL, BGDN, Black Stone Rangers etc...it’s an honor and a blessing to still be here. To witness the transformation of the City is amazing but hurts at the same time with unnecessary violence that’s destroying our youth. Sports in Chicago is a mechanism for a way out, that’s why KG and many more came here to pursue their dreams. Don’t allow nothing or nobody distract you from your dreams regardless!!!

[@jonathanrobinsonJ5]

@@jabbarijames696 I feel you sir--and although MOST of what you heard might have some merit--a lot of that is embellished. KG was involved in an altercation at Mauldin High School in SC. There was several people involved and although it did start in some ways from someone spray painting a racial slur--the school in no way tried to single out KG. They just asked some students who they "saw" around and in the melee and he was named. Hell he was 6'6...OF COURSE HE STOOD OUT!! In SC---2 or more students fighting another student is considered "lynching" and a very punishable offense!! Supposedly an agreement was struck that he would leave the school and state. TRUST me--there are far more racist schools in SC & Greenville, SC. And if KG truly wanted a better life--he wouldn't have moved to the part of Chicago where he went to. CHI-town is a beautiful city--but knowing Kevin personally--him and his sister didnt move to the best of situations and living conditions. His mother made the decision to get him away from the influences in SC and in hindsite it was the best thing for him. Garnett was, is, & will forever be known as a great basketball player--but the true award should go to his mother for entrusting those that said they saw greatness in him & she let him go. Kevin may be from SC--but KG was developed in Chicago!! Best thing that could have happened to him on his path to greatness!
