“Disruptive, Untamable”: Bowing Down to 237lbs “Beast”, Celtics Legend Kevin Garnett and More Honor 64YO NFL Legend

NBA legend Kevin Garnett was nowhere close to being shy on the court. The 7-foot giant played gracefully and glided swiftly around the court. If that were not enough, he verbally attacked his opponents to gain an advantage. He is one of the fiercest competitors in NBA history. Alongside his passion for basketball, the legend has always been interested in football as well. It was natural that one of his favorite footballers has a similar reputation in the NFL world.

Recently, he revealed his favorite NFL player on his IG handle through an old resurfaced clip. Let’s find out who he thinks is the best football player player. 

Kevin Garnett reveals his favorite athlete of all time

The New York Giants’ no.2 overall pick in 1981, the 237 pounder was known as one of the best defensive players in the league. While Lawrence Taylor was surrounded by several controversies and criticism during his playing days, many still appreciate his game on the field. In the resurfaced clip, we get to see just a small part of his dominance.

Praising the legend, Garnett shared the resurfaced clip on his IG story and wrote, “Probably MY FAVORITE ATHLETE OF ALL TIME.”

Taylor, like KG, made an impact with his disruptive defense. Of course, this involved some hands-on play and some mouthing off.

In the clip, we see the NFL Hall of Famer fearlessly charging his opponents on the field. The NFL legend won two Super Bowls in 1986 and 1990 and made 10 Pro Bowl rosters. The old clip once again reminded people of Taylor’s greatness.

Fans are awestruck by Lawrence Taylor’s game

Not only the Celtics legend but the fans are also fascinated with the athlete. One of the comments referred to him as the “Greatest defensive NFL player of all time.”

Clearly, it was not a controversial opinion as others were in agreement. “LT was the most dominant defensive player in NFL history. A pure joy to watch!” Another IG user wrote, “Disruptive and untamable.” 

Comparing his game to the present, one user commented, “Quarterbacks wouldn’t stand a chance today if LT was in the game.”

“I laugh when people say today’s players are faster and hit harder. Dude was a beast,” mentioned another comparative comment.

Even after the NFL legend’s retirement in 1993, people remember him as one of the best players. Did you see the clip? Do you agree with Garnett? Who is your favorite defensive NFL player? Tell us in the comments below.
