In September 2016, Kevin Garnett announced his retirement from the NBA, having amassed 26,071 points and 14,662 rebounds, placing him 17th and 9th, respectively, in the history of the league.

Recently, over the YouTube show, ALL THE SMOKE, Kevin Garnett recalled when Caitlin Clark was the first player in NCAA Division I history to standalone at the free-throw line and make the foul throws that propelled her to the top spot in scoring history.

He claimed that when Caitlin Clark, an American college basketball, smashed the all-time scoring mark, the NCAA should have halted the game.

He said, “You know what I’m saying like same thing with Caitlin you supposed to stop the game.”

In case you forget, because of Clark’s spectacular play, she is now the most famous college basketball player in the country. Clark broke Pete Maravich’s 54-year record with two free throws following a technical foul. 

Clark, known for her big 3-point shots, was sent to the foul line with less than a second left in the first half after Cotie McMahon got a technical for pushing her slightly after a dead ball.
