The 2008 NBA champion revealed a specific incident involving the legendary Bulls player that would further cement Michael Jordan's place in basketball lore during a talk with Nah'Shon "Bones" Hyland of the LA Clippers.
Kevin Garnett reveals the time he got the upper hand on Michael Jordan
The particular memory had something to do with the moment KG decided to trash-talk Michael Jordan on the court and instantly knew he had made a mistake. The 15-time NBA All-Star revealed the time he had the edge over Jordan and had taken the ball from him. He said, “I caught him. He was going two dribbles coming up left, and he was trying to reject baseline. So I played the middle. I said ‘Man, if he do this s*** again, I’ma pick this s***.”
Jordan’s revenge on KG
Before Garnett could even celebrate the success of his move against Jordan, His Airness was already a step ahead of him. Maybe MJ would have let the play go had it not been for KG’s comments. The 46-year-old shared, with Hyland almost falling out of his chair laughing, “The next time down, M called the same play. Bones, this is real life. I was in front of the n****. I was right in front of him. I blinked, dog, and we are not blinking and when my eyes opened, he was at the cup.”
