Kevin Garnett selects his All-time starting five
When asked to disclose his all-time starting five, the former Timberwolves legend said:
KG: Damn, my starting five?
“The point?”
KG: Magic at 1. Just cause he’s 6’9″.
Garnett initially selected Michael Jordan as his SG. But immediately switched his answer.
KG: I gotta go MJ… matter of fact, imma put Kobe in my 2. Kobe gonna be my 2. I got Kobe at my 2. I know you gon’ say MJ, I’m supposed to do that. Shoutout to MJ cause he the god and we copied him and sh*t, but I got Kobe at my 2.
I really wanna put AI here somewhere but I’m looking for a taller team cause we gonna switch everything, you know what I’m saying.
So Imma put KD at my 3. KD, he’s like a real fade, you know what I’m saying?
And then Imma go with Wilt. I’m going with Stilt at 5. I’m playing the 4. 3s, 4s, 5s switching everything. That’s how I’m coming.
Magic, Bryant, KD, KG, and Wilt?! That’s one solid five Kevin has created. Interestingly, the Hall-Of-Famer had neither of the GOATs- Michael Jordan nor LeBron James on his squad. But hey, it’s his all-time team list and he doesn’t have to make anyone else happy other than himself.
