?Even When He?s Retired?NBA?s Biggest Trash Talker?: Kevin Garnett?s Unhinged Tongue Always Gave Fans the Tickles

The sport of basketball contains more than just the physical aspect. It involves making the use of an individual?s mental aspect too, as various players often use mind games by engaging in trash talks. When used to its full advantage, these trash talks can make an opponent unhinged and lead them to lose focus.

One of the most prominent trash talkers in the history of the NBA is Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett. An old video of Garnett criticizing other players in a crude manner recently resurfaced on the internet, and fans didn?t hesitate in sharing their reaction.

Kevin Garnett and his history of trash talking

The 15x NBA All Star has a long history of engaging in not-so-pleasant talks with other people. From comparing players on the same level as a cancer patient, to saying,??Happy Mother’s Day, Motherf*****,? to Tim Duncan, whose mother died right before his 14 birthday, Garnett will not hesitate in insulting someone if it helps him.

One of the few moments Garnett?s technique backfired was when he used it on Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. During an episode of the player?s show, KG Certified, Garnett revealed to Bones Hyland about the moment when he got an upper hand against His Airness and made some questionable remarks.

His celebration, however, was short-lived as Jordan overpowered the player soon after. This moment taught Garnett the lesson to ?leave (him) alone?.

But while the ?Jordan incident? may have taught Garnett to leave Air Jordan alone, it does not seem to apply for everyone else.

Fans react after Garnett uses the N Word

An old video from 2016 has resurfaced on the internet. The video was shot from an audience member, who was sitting a row behind the former player during a basketball game. During a moment in the game, when NBA Player Eric Gordon was unable to get the ball through the hoop, the former player erupted into anger. Without raising his voice, he said, ?Hell no. Trash a** n****a.?

Fans on the comment section have shared their reactions. Various YouTube users imagined Garnett being placed in the position of an official NBA Commentator, with comments like, ?Imagine KG in the bubble, would’ve had no sound fx cause of all the censoring.???This why the NBA never wired this dude up with a mic,? and, ?Imagine a 21+ sport commentary with him in it for the NBA,? etc.

Many people, who were already familiar with the athlete?s history, wrote remarks like, ?even when he’s retired, he still manages to be the nba’s biggest trash talker,? and, ?KG too real for NBA they had to retire him,? etc.

Others loved the way Garnett made the remark, as evident by comments like, ?Hahaha KG the GOAT,? ?This is like bringing your cool grandad to a basketball game and he trash talks literally everyone,” and,?“KG… Greatest Ever!?
