Apart from his undying love for basketball, Kevin Garnett has always been an ardent soccer fan as well. He has credited his love for the game to his Wolves teammate Marko Jaric, who supposedly introduced the Big Ticket to the beautiful game. As an active social media influencer, the Boston Celtics legend often posts stories of soccer highlights which truly impress him.

This time, it was a Swiss football star?s 12 year-old goal that caught the eye of the 2008 NBA champion.

Kevin Garnett stunned by iconic bicycle kick

In Garnett?s recent Instagram story, the Basketball Hall of Famer brings back Swiss footballer Eren Derdiyok?s 12-year-old iconic bicycle kick against Wolfsburg. The talented striker received a long pass from his teammate inside the box. Despite being marked by two Wolfsburg defenders, Derdiyok managed to get a beautiful first touch on the pass.

As one of the defenders closes in on him, the Swiss footballer gives the football another incredible touch, which lifts the ball over the defender marking him. The Swiss footballer then ceases the moment as he takes ‘flight’ to score one of the most iconic bicycle kicks of all time!
