Kevin Garnett Shuts Down Best Friend Paul Pierce’s Audacious Mavericks Claim

Kevin Garnett and his championship-winning teammate Paul Pierce have one of the most entertaining podcasts in the basketball realm. They have known each other for a long time and are well aware of their playing styles and abilities. So, it’s hard to ignore when the Big Ticket has something to say about his best friend. In a preview clip shared by the official Instagram page of KG Certified, the Truth was seen making a bold claim about his game.

Pierce believes that he is still a good fit for the Dallas Mavericks and will be able to shoot the ball without any defensive responsibilities, something he claimed was what the current roster does all the time. “I fit on Dallas team right now. I can go out there and shoot threes and play. No defense.” Garnett wasn’t buying it, though. But, it was too late.

“You don’t fit on no Dallas team. No, you can’t! Stop,” Garnett exclaimed. As Pierce continued to argue that he would still be able to play without defending, Garnett said, “You can’t get 10 on the game right now. I’m here. I love you lord. You can’t!“

What is your take on this? Is The Truth still skilled enough to make a comeback and play for the Mavericks or is it just a wish in vain? Well, the champ has been consistently challenging the current teams and hinting at his possible comeback. 

Paul Pierce confessed interest in playing for the Dallas Mavericks last year as well

Last year, during one of the episodes of the show, Pierce expressed his desire to make a comeback in the league. He also had a team in his mind and that is the prestigious Dallas Mavericks. The reason? Two impressive players, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, have caught his attention. Speaking of his interest in the team, Pierce said that these two will be perfect as his teammates. 

The 10x NBA All-Star also expressed an interest in joining his former team, Boston Celtics. However, he seemed to be quite serious about it. He doesn’t just want to play for the sake of it, the Celtics veteran is confident to make a big impact on the teams and the league.

While there are numerous questions on the age and physicality factor, Garnett seems to have a different opinion. The entire conversation will be released on the episode which is set to release on March 15.
