Well father time catches up with everyone. You cannot run from it. And after 21 years in the NBA, father time has caught up to the great “Big Ticket” Kevin Garnett of the the Minnesota Timberwolves. It is time to hang it up.

Garnett let the team know his choice to retire recently and the team will waive KG soon which will allow the team to collect his entire $8 million salary for the coming NBA season. All of us will miss Garnett. I know I will as a fan of the NBA. One thing for sure KG is a all time great and a first ballot Hall Of Fame member. Remember Garnett came into the NBA right out of high school 21 years ago as a skinny kid.

KG is a 15 time All Star. He had a killer turn around jumper. It was unstoppable during his prime years. And was a great defensive player too.

It will be interesting to see what KG will do with his NBA career at a end. Clippers Head Coach and GM Doc Rivers has already said he has a spot for Kevin.

Man…all time greats are leaving the game the last year. Kobe and Duncan and now Garnett. The game is changing for sure with a lot of young talented players all over the league. But KG is leaving the game in good hands. KG was asked recently when he retires does he want to be a coach and he said “HELL NO” So I guess that will not happen. Will he be in the front office of a team or maybe own a team like MJ? Let’s see what happens to the 40 year old KG.

As a NBA junky and fan of his too, I wish Garnett the best and thanks for all the thrills he gave us on the court throughout his 21 year career in the NBA. Hope KG will be involved in the NBA in some way in the future. We know he will do just that! Thanks KG!! Gordon Curvey
