Kevin Garnett

And that's when I like...

Like, I grew up during the Kevin Garnett era.

But the, like, late college into, um, you know, my, my first few years out of college, the David Kahn was the era.

And I just, like there's just so much.

Uh, Minnesota was 60 and 186 across the three years he ran the team, and then he left.

Flip Saunders I have at number five, um, and that of course is his front office tenure, not his head coach tenure.

And he did some stuff, like he reacquired Kevin Garnett which was expensive but it made sense at the time.

He got Kevin Martin which made sense with Rick Adelman and, and that wa- He was the big piece from the David Kahn 31-win team to the, you know, besides Love's health, going to a 40-win team the next year.

It's the personality.

You know, it's like he has, I understood when I heard him speak and like, uh, the way he interacts with people, I understood why people are like, I could see some KG qualities here.

I was like, people love to compare any skinny, big, who's like competitive and, you know, show some.

ball skills like ball handling in the open court to kg and like 99 of them are garbage comps right shout out wiseman shout out anthony randolph i know all about those ones but uh but in caleb's case i'm like oh no no i see it because he's got that same like tenacity uh and that same like magnetic like you could just tell his teammates are going to gravitate towards him right

Yeah.

But look, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett never had a top five office efficiency.

Never had a top ten office efficiency.

Ray Allen got out the first round, you know.

Yeah.

But look, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett never had a top five office efficiency.

Never had a top ten office efficiency.

Ray Allen got out the first round, you know.

You think we get one of the lights out moments and he's in the ring too? Or is he real for real how he feels?

I'm going to hit you with the Kevin Garnett when they win that championship.

Anything is possible.

Man, because you know what

[laughs] All right.

Next up, 2003 to 2005 Kevin Garnett.

Yeah, let's talk podium now.

One of the best two-way peaks of all time, a guy who was a lead play maker for a team.

He's, he's playing this, you know, the, the two-way stuff, and it honestly didn't even hit me until the, the Kawhi stuff went down, and we started talking about the, the punishments.

Yeah.

But the fact that the Timberwolves, when they got punished for the Joe Smith stuff, that those five first-round picks are directly in line with KG's peak.

Yeah.

We saw it.

Just the fact that Kevin Garnett even came out just to watch you-

Yeah

... was, was huge for me.

We approach them and say, hey, can we get media credentials? And now we're in the Raptors locker room.

We're interviewing Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan.

Like, you know, we're talking air with some of the greatest players played that we all, you know, in our memory.

And a total thrill.
