The Big Ticket — the most intense defender of his era, one NBA Championship and an emotional connection to the Boston Celtics that produced one of basketball's great comeback stories.
Kevin Garnett was the most versatile and defensively impactful power forward of his generation. His combination of length, athleticism, defensive intensity and competitive fire made him virtually impossible to contain. He spent 12 seasons with Minnesota before joining the Boston Celtics, where he won the 2008 NBA Championship with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen — a partnership that produced one of basketball's great emotional moments.
His victory scream after winning the 2008 NBA Championship — "Anything is possible!" — became one of basketball's most celebrated moments.
