Arenas remembers how during a game he got fed up with Garnett and came up with a plan along with his teammates. “I used to go score against him and start talking trash immediately”.
Arenas further added, “Garnett was an NBA all-star at the time, and I was just a sophomore rookie. He used to get so wild and would start jumping and blocking every shot of mine. So me and my teammates decided to just shoot from everywhere and make him tired just by blocking.”

Arenas also remembers a time when he asked for Garnett’s autograph. He said, “With KG I was trying to get his autograph. It is probably the hardest autograph to get. I asked for it in 2004 and I didn’t get it until 2008.” It had finally reached the hands of Arenas after four long years of waiting.
Arenas waiting for Garnett’s autograph for four years shows the legendary status of the 2008 NBA champion. Garnett was also honored as the MVP of the league in 2004.
