When Kevin Garnett called out the NBA’s “standard”

In his 21-year-long career, many consider Kevin Garnett’s NBA career to be one of the most decorated careers for an NBA ‘big’. In an episode of his podcast “KGcertified”, the ‘Big Ticket’ unleashed some brutal truths about the league. The NBA Hall of Famer along with Paul Pierce, his legendary former Boston Celtics teammate, talked about the monetary value of the NBA.

KG said in the episode, “Don’t nobody know you dawg?” as he openly ‘attacks’ the league as the NBA league is a team sport. He further mentioned that initially (during his playing days) it was about winning championships. He states that in today’s NBA, players come into the league and work for individual recognition. He gave the example of Anthony Davis’ first extension in the NBA.
