Kevin Garnett loves watching the Hornets play.
In the opening episode of KG Certified, the Big Ticket had nothing but praise for the Hornets, especially LaMelo. The former MVP and DPOY sat down with Jamal Crawford to discuss the league. Crawford stated that the Nets were his favorite team to watch, boasting Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden.
On the other hand, KG revealed how he loved watching the Hornets, and LaMelo was his favorite player.
“You know, who I love watching? The Hornets,” Garnett told Crawford. “Man, I’ve followed LaMelo through the whole YouTube half-court and all the other stuff. He’s probably one of my favorites, him and Cole Anthony. LaMelo has kind of an old-school, he moves the ball and has a high IQ. He’s got the old-school feel to him. He has a bunch of magic in him.”
KG added,
“I can’t wait for him to get some more size on that’s actually gonna take his confidence to another level. I got him being the MVP in less than five years because he’s dictating the league play, the style.”
(7:48min mark)
Three-time 6th man of the year, Crawford seconded everything that Garnett said, adding LaMelo had the fabric and pedigree to be one of the greats.
In his second year in the league, the Hornets guard is averaging 19.4 points, 7.6 assists, and 7.3 rebounds.
