Notes:

  • Kevin Garnett began his NBA career with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Coming straight out of high school, nobody knew exactly how good Garnett would be, which is why he dropped to fifth overall in the draft. But it wasn’t long before Garnett was a clear star. He was great for the Timberwolves who ultimately traded him when they were better off rebuilding. It worked out well for Garnett who found himself playing for the Celtics, a team he would go on to win a championship with after managing to defeat the one team that he never could as a Timberwolve, the Los Angeles Lakers.
  • Kevin Garnett started his NBA career wearing Nike basketball shoes. He then wore And1 basketball shoes. He spent most of his NBA playing days wearing Adidas after officially becoming one of the biggest NBA stars to have joined Adidas, before finishing his career with his own sneaker, the Anta KG 6. Adidas was the brand that had signed Tracy McGrady to a lifelong contract, a deal that McGrady later declined after he didn’t feel supported during his process to begin a 1-on-1 basketball league.
  • Kevin Garnett says he turned down an offer from Nike to become the face of Nike Shox before they were offered to Vince Carter instead.
  • Kevin Garnett’s playing weight remained a consistent 240 pounds throughout his career.
