Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are two of the NBA?s most popular and inspiring players of all time. The former Boston Celtics duo are NBA Hall of Famers for their incredible achievements in their respective NBA careers. The two Boston Celtics legends played completely different positions but had one thing in common regarding their playing style: Both of them were elite trash-talkers and had the game to back it up.
In a recent interview, Shilo Sanders (Deion Sanders? Son) issued an open challenge to the former Boston Celtics teammates.

In a recent YouTube podcast on ?SHOWTIME Basketball?, host Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce have a conversation with Colorado Buffaloes? star, Shilo Sanders. Kevin Garnett asks Shilo Sanders about his father (current coach of Colorado Buffaloes), ?Having a father like your dad, great influence throughout all sports. How do you separate dad from coach??.
Shilo Sanders responds, ?Dad is always coach. He?s been coach since we were younger, so it was not really hard.? Kevin Garnett interjects, ?He never turned it off? Always trying to teach a lesson? That?s dope.?.
The Colorado Buffaloes Quarterback further says, ?yeah?I mean he understand how much this game could change your life so? we played football, basketball and baseball growing up and he was always the coach.?. Kevin Garnett then asks him if American football was his favorite sport, to which he responds, ?Man?Me and Shedeur (his brother) could definitely beat y?all in basketball. Now, though. Not back then. I?m talking about now.?.
Both the Celtics legends laugh as Kevin Garnett says, ?not this again.?. Paul Pierce further says, ?In 10 years maybe?. Shilo Sanders tries to convince the NBA legends to play today but Kevin Garnett says, ?How old are you??. Shilo responds ?23? to which Garnett says, ?Oh yeah?when you?re like 33 you come find us.”.

Kevin Garnett then says that they (Shilo and Sheduer) have a better chance in 10 years because Paul Pierce still has that ?killer? competitive spirit in him. Garnett hilariously tells Shilo Sanders, ?You ain?t ready for this yet.? Shilo Sanders, however, seems extremely confident in his and his brother?s basketball skills but how athletic really are they?
