Okay, okay damn your fellow damn Never talk shit to Mike ever again. I know now I don't know about you, but that's one of the crazy stories that I've heard in a very long time Obviously there are tons of MJ stories and I've told many on this channel before but Kevin Garnett's version is Extremely funny to watch the way he's able to describe situations the way he's able to imitate players and their voices He actually is a very good imitator but apart from that It's also very funny because it's the same story that J.R. Riot have brought up two years ago And now when you combine them together, it's funny hearing it from both sides The thing about Kevin Garnett is that he respected MJ and MJ respected him after this situation We all know the type of player that Michael Jordan true the is he's a guy that wants to be fired up And he actually plays better when somebody fires him up And he respected Kevin Garnett because this was a high school player bringing it to him and of course Garnett Respected him because he would never trash talk MJ ever again But just for clarification MJ said he respected Garnett even in an interview that season Good play, he's gonna be good, he's young, he's learning He's certainly gonna learn how to Adapted the situation, he's gonna he's on the job training right now He's gonna be fine and he also respected him so much that when MJ was 38 years old and playing for the Washington Wizards He would go at Kevin Garnett Keep in mind this is a 38 year old Michael Jordan Yes, he was still a sold player. He was a 23 point per game player But he was 38 years old and you really have to keep that in mind This wasn't the MJ that we had seen in Chicago the first time that KG and MJ matched up against each other This was Jordan at 38 years old after three years out of the league And if you're wondering how good Kevin Garnett was at this stage Well, he just finished outside of the top 10 MVP race in the entire league and the next season He would finish second in the MVP race So this Kevin Garnett was emerging into one of the best players in the league and he took it upon himself to guard MJ Who was 38 years old MJ took it upon himself to go to work against an MVP level Kevin Garnett on his farewell tour And this was the game where he just put it on Kevin Garnett Time and time again he was going at KG, hitting mid-range jumpers, dunking it Getting crazy layoffs He looked like a prime version of MJ when really this was a Washington Wizards MJ That was ending his career that season And of course MJ was putting it on Kevin Garnett Because he had a lot of respect for KG and knew how good of a player he was This was MJ's version of a challenge You know that MJ wanted a challenge each and every game But when they had history together MJ would take it upon himself to make something happen And this game was just another example of that I'm not sure if the game in Kevin Garnett's rookie season was the reason why MJ went so hard on this particular occasion But I do know that MJ had that killer mentality where if he was up against an MVP candidate No matter how old he was, he would go to work on that player And he showed it at this particular time too And these highlights to showcase how great of a player he really was With that said, let me know what you think about this MJ and Kevin Garnett's story If you enjoyed it, please please please leave a like to show support It took a while for me to find all the clips and match it all up together So I'd greatly appreciate if you guys could drop a like to show your support Let's aim for a thousand likes on the next video And if you're new around here and you enjoy NBA content every single week Multiple times a week Hit that subscribe button so you get NBA content Just like this video every single week And hit that notification button so you never miss an upload With that said, it's been your Voronex myth I really hope you enjoyed the video I will catch you in my next one I'm out Peace
