The NBA and the WWE have always enjoyed a close relationship. Whether it be Joel Embiid doing the iconic DX pose, or Shaquille O’Neal actually entering the ring at WrestleMania. However, a surprising name joined the list of ballers-cum-WWE fans. Boston Celtics legend, Kevin Garnett, shared a throwback video of a chaotic ending to an episode of SmackDown, which included a 7ft tall wrestler, who is currently a Mayor.

After the creative peak that was the Attitude era, the WWE needed to follow up strong. And that’s what they did. The SmackDown roster of the 2000s became instantly iconic. Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle, John Cena, Batista, Undertaker, Kane, and Eddie Guerrero, all were major players. Looking at the list of those names, a certified banger of a show was guaranteed.

KG, a trash talker on par with wrestlers, shared a clip from a fan-made account of a wild SmackDown ending. During the Invasion angle, the multiple converging storylines made WWE must-see television. The video is the conclusion to one such episode.

As a host of wrestlers made their way to the ring to lay out their chief rivals, the overarching narrative was still billionaire Vince McMahon vs his son Shane McMahon. Towards the end, Kane, now known as Glenn Jacobs, Mayor of Knox County, was smacked in the head with a chair by a leaping Shane McMahon.

The classic moments from that era have certainly made KG a lifelong fan. He shared the video on his Instagram story, showing his admiration.

When Kevin Garnett got into a WWE-like brawl

Scuffles on the basketball court are frowned upon. Yet they take place pretty frequently. Back in 2015, Garnett got into an altercation with Dwight Howard of the Houston Rockets. Just 4 minutes into the first quarter of a regular season matchup at the Barclays Center, Garnett was whistled for a foul while trying to keep Howard from establishing position inside.

This frustrated him, and he yelled at the referee. While doing so, he also nudged Howard away from him with an elbow. Howard responded with a smack. This led to other players and officials having to pull them apart. KG was suspended for the next game.

Should KG consider entering the WWE, given his trash-talking and skills?
