In 2021, Showtime released the documentary Anything is Possible?which beautifully encapsulated the life and career of NBA legend Kevin Garnett. The documentary also announced that he will host KG certified, a new podcast on Showtime basketball. Recently, Stephen Espinoza, the president of Showtime Sports was seen posing with Kevin Garnett at the premiere of Goliath, a new documentary.

Showtime Basketball has finally released Goliath, the three-episode documentary series that shines the spotlight on two-time NBA champion Wilt Chamberlain?s life and career. The show is produced in collaboration with Boston Celtics Champion Kevin Garnett?s Content Cartel and other production houses.
At the premiere, both Espinoza and Garnett were present. A significant moment was when the Showtime head posed with former NBA champion Kevin Garnett. The picture was uploaded to the IG story of Garnett’s KG Certified.
Espinoza, a prominent figure in the sports world, has driven massive success in Showtime boxing and other spheres. But he has also been involved in controversies and accusations.
His rivalry with Conor McGregor has made enough headlines. Back in 2017, McGregor heartily roasted the Showtime head.
Conor McGregor?s feud with Stephen Espinoza
It’s not uncommon to see Conor Mcgregor argue with some of the most notable personalities in the sports world. But his feud with the president of Showtime Sports is most well-known. It goes back to the time when the Notorious?s microphone was cut off during a press conference in Los Angeles. The Irishman was at the pinnacle of his career, and he didn?t take the insult lightly.

When next on stage, his insult was aimed toward the Showtime head. His words were, ?While we’re at it, fu** Showtime too. You little weasel. Look. at you, you f*****g weasel. I can see it in your eyes. You’re a f*****g b***h. Cutting my mic off? Cut the champ-champ’s mic off? Hell no! You f*****g weasel.”
But it didn?t end there. They took their war to Twitter where they kept hitting each other from their arsenal of words.
