There was never one day where he'd tell me something differently if he played well, or he'd tell me something the other way if he didn't play well. He was always telling me the same thing. He was Garnett's solace, too. Malik used to always say 'kid, you only go through this life one time. And I think Malik taught Kevin how to enjoy being Kevin Garnett.
Death makes everything else smaller.
That doesn't help anything, moaning and crying about a situation. That shows you're a big baby and quick to run when stuff gets hard. And so I think it did, it put everything in perspective. Garnett has tried to move on. He's leaning more on Mitchell, who's played in more Wolves games than anyone.
