Kevin Garnett, after retiring in 2016, still promotes basketball through his social media. And Sunday was filled with a lot of action literally and figuratively.

The post also contains an old photo of him wearing the jersey of Atlanta Vikings. The color scheme is purple and golden representing the jersey of Vikings. The previous edition had a color scheme of black and peach which was a favorite of his mother and grandmother’s.

Because of such a well-thought-out marketing display, Garnett wrote: “Oh, and whoever doin Antman’s shoe campaign needs a raise lord 💯.
