We all can agree by now that Kevin Garnett is a legendary trash talker. You can debate if he can actually back up that talk all you want, but the facts show that this man is relentless with the jaw-jackin’. He was drafted in 1995 and came into a league that had just endured it’s prime “Bad Boy” phase, one that KG grew up watching.
This guy Garnett has been fine tuning his craft for a while now, and he performs just about everything he does at a high level. After hearing this quote from current Thunder Center Steven Adams, though, it may be time to tone down his trash talk. You be the judge.
KG and Perk, those two are ridiculous,” Adams said of the legendary smack-talkers. “They make you question, like, why you are playing basketball and stuff. You’re like ‘Why am I doing this?’ It’s really weird, you get depressed.”
Has Garnett ever specifically targeted Adams?
“Thankfully, he doesn’t talk to me,” Adams said. “But he was talking to once and I was like ‘Woah, that’s some stuff.’ I cannot repeat it.”
But wait… Something doesn’t add up here. I think Adams meant “he doesn’t talk to me MUCH”, otherwise how else would KG make you question your life? With his stare? Bare in mind this guy, Steven Adams, was also born just two years prior to KG joining the league. He was probably afraid of KG just watching him on tv at 5 years old.
Regardless, we’ve heard a lot of quotes about KG’s trash talk and thisis by far the most entertaining.
