Kevin Garnett: We are so hung up on the past, we're not appreciating the greatness happening in front of us
“The problem I think with today is that we are so hung up on the yesteryear of the culture and the history that built the league, that we’re missing out on greatness right in front of us,” said Garnett. “LeBron James is 38 m—-f—— years old doing something we’ve never seen… we’ve got to get over this. Michael Jordan, Magic [Johnson], they are the past. We’ve got to embrace this new ish. We’ve never seen Stephen Curry. We ain’t never seen anything like Stephen Curry. We keep talking about Jerry West–shoutout to Jerry West, he was a super goon, did great things for the league–but yeah, we’re in a new time. Jerry West ain’t never seen this type of range.”

“You flexing championship, but you ain’t bringing champion environment in here,” the 15x All-Star mentioned. Garnett carried on with his harsh judgments, stating, “You learned this in Golden State, ni**a?”. The NBA icon added, “This what you brought from there?”. He berated the 24-year-old, highlighting, “They got your a** out of there cause you weren’t going to fall in line”. Failing to control his rage, Kevin put forward a jarring remark, mentioning, “Ni**as like this don’t belong in our league”. “I don’t want my son under no ni**a like that,” the 2008 NBA champion mentioned justifying his stance.
