Kevin Garnett
The Catalyst
Ideas with a spark, energy, range and the ability to start things.
Kevin Garnett is The Catalyst because his instinct has always been ignition. He deliberately trash-talked Big Baby in Italy to extract extra reps, told Paul Pierce this is your team the moment he arrived in Boston, and demanded Rondo stay in trades.
“I learned how to finesse, and I learned how to get us out of situations by being in situation. That right there helped me be an NBA leader when I got to the league — I was able to give my opinion and then be silent.”
“This is your team. I want you to know, man, we're here to make you better. You know, me and Ray gonna be your OGs. But I want you to know, man, that this is yours.”
“Wolf knew how to actually ignite me, and then he would get the fuck out the way. That's what drove me — seeing other people being able to do things and then working on that shit.”
