Our Columbia video camera crew, Craig Goodale<\/a>, stepped off the court with recent NBA retiree Kevin Garnett for a special interview for Turner Sports.<\/b><\/p>\n

KG\u2019s Start in the NBA<\/b><\/h5>\n

20 years went by without an NBA<\/a> draft pick straight from high school. Enter Kevin Garnett<\/a>. Our Columbia video camera crew went behind the scenes of an interview with him to talk about his early days in the NBA. He was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> in 1995. They saw something in Garnett. And they were right. He made an immediate impact with the team, leading them to eight consecutive playoffs. In 2007 he was traded to the Boston Celtics<\/a> where he helped lead them to an NBA Championship. In 2013 he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets<\/a>, and in 2015 he was traded back \u201chome\u201d to the Timberwolves. He retired in 2016 after playing for 21 years, 50,000 minutes, and scoring 26,000 points.<\/b><\/p>\n

Kevin Garnett and McHale<\/b><\/h5>\n

Kevin McHale<\/a> conducted the interview. He played his entire NBA career for the Boston Celtics and later coached the Timberwolves, where he first met Garnett. So Turner Sports<\/a> thought there was no one better to conduct the interview. McHale was one of Garnett\u2019s first teachers in the NBA. He was a great mentor and friend. In the interview, McHale raved about Garnett\u2019s energy. Garnett said, \u201cEvery time I hit the floor I just left everything out there.\u201d He\u2019s super competitive and also said, \u201cI made it a point to learn something new every night and apply it.\u201d The two men may have the same name and sense of competition, but they play very differently. They once had a falling out, but have since rekindled their friendship.<\/b><\/p>\n
