Kevin Garnett: The Big Ticket Becomes The Big Bully

Prior to joining the Boston Celtics, Kevin Garnett’s passion and intensity made him one of the NBA’s most likable players.

During his 12-year tenure with the Minnesota Timberwolves, his competitive snarl and primal screams showed his ferocity, as Garnett played each game as if it were his last.

Minnesota was never a true contender, as the team’s management could never assemble much talent around their superstar forward. Garnett was the league’s lovable loser and everyone wanted to see him win a ring because they felt he deserved it.
