funny. when you add up the OVERALL ability of each individual. the 08-2010 Celtics were just plain and simple, better than any warriors team in history. idc what size of margin it is. Celtics are better. I would bet any amount that each and everyone of those warriors would've never been hall of famers If they were drafted on their own individual teams . ray, pierce, kg especually.... all hall of famers if retire in 07 on their own teams. add it to Tony Allen maybe the best perimeter defender ever? and rajon rondo who eventually would've probably carved out a hof career maybe not 1st ballot. kd obviously was 1st ballot already. iggy would've eventually made hof but not 1st ballot. curry wasn't far from exiting the league due to his ankle problems. let's face it guys like klay don't get recognition in the league he probably wouldn't have been given the proper chance(maybe only because his dad was the #1 pick and he won miltiple rings with the lakers)
@@gabrielfelix1759😅 it’s been
This is better then ESPN
Flex _24 wayyy better
Flex _24 💯
Rose Gold Yeah I know LESPN 3-6 mafia
Than*
ESPN is like the CNN of sports reporting! All these player podcasts are MUCH BETTER and insightful!
Kobe and kg always had the chemistry even during the allstar games back in the day
That’s why he was pissed af when gasol said KG was done after game 1 he knew what was coming after that
Daniel Barwatt finals the second time
I cant imagine KG, Pierce, and Allen not being together.
What year did they play together on the All Star game ?
@Jaleel Og think you're discrediting Pau. I wouldn't have swapped him for KG
Interviews are so much more entertaining when people are allowed to be themselves. This shit was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
That's the absolute truth
Im forreal on a kick for sports podcasts they are more authentic
4 years later, I'm still re-watching the clips of it
KG’s Kendrick Perkins impression got me in tears rn😂
Boston K.O. 🤣🤣 💯
Boston K.O. I'm trying to tell you 😂😂😂😭😭
Yeah, Especially since I’m from Beaumont lol. I also graduated with Stephen Jackson’s daughter too
Tx 409 🤘🏾
Boston K.O. He said he head butted him😂😂😂
Can ya'll get KG on again, I'll pay for this type of content. Dude's got the best stories.
That's a fact
He funny as hell
KG knew how special Rondo was, big ups to him
Any dude who can deal with Perkins, Garnett, Pierce and Allen deserves that respect
Almost a month now and saying "Kobe is dead." Still dont feel like it's a reality. RIP.
Koibito The Scrublord same doesn’t feel right , I always been a Bron fan but always have Kobe respect ..
I’m still waiting for the it’s fake news.
I don't even like watching his videos anymore...yet. I'm not ready.
For real
It's sad but it's life guys we all will die one day and That's ok.
I think Kobe didn't answer because although he WANTED to play with his boy KG, He had already played with one transcendent player at the beginning of his career and people took shots at his legacy for it. Teaming up with KG wouldn't have let him show the world that he could play his way on a team built around solely him and win the chip. It worked out for the best as he was able to put the "you had shaq!" chatter to rest. I doubt he wanted to have to hear "You had Shaq & KG!!!" They gave us great ball as opponents. RIP
orrr he just was busy
@@TheIcemanthomas womp womp wommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmp
TBNV makes sense
TBNV
People still take shots at his legacy by saying he had Pau Gasol.
@@Cpt35 Yea but we know thats a weak argument. Pau Gasol was never what KG was. Gasol more comparable to chris bosh
When he talked about getting up at 4:30 Because someone in the east coast was already an hour into their workout, I gained so much more respect for KG. That type of work ethic is a lost art.
I get what he means but part of me thinks he’s purposefully ignoring how time zones work.
@@lijojohn7168 🤣 seriously though lol
greatest kendrick perkins impression ever 11:38
EVER!
Hahaha
Kobe & Gasol was special. They played off each other in a very unique way for the league at the time....but.....Kobe & Garnett would've been another kind of beast. Especially on the defensive end.
Came for the Kobe clip and stayed for the whole show
That makes sense now for the story about Phoenix. I had always heard they had a shot at him but I get why he didn't want to go now. That was super cool of Nash to give him that info though...
Nash must've known how bad his pitch was though. Like, that poor man, along with all kinds of players, deserve a ring for their troubles.
Love how Matt and jack don’t think they’d be included in the trade to get kg lol
Treycoyne12 that’s what I was saying. at least one of them would’ve been packaged in a trade 😂😂
🤫😂
Truth. They laughing like they was untouchable.. they were not. Hahaha
They wouldn't have. J-Rich, Al, and some other shit probably would have got it done. Baron, Jack, Barnes, Pietrus, Ticket. That's a good starting 5.
In those days Stax was a star. You'd need to keep him around. Matt, not so much but he was a good defender and held his own.
KG: “Rajune” 😂😂
That's the one😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
5:27😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
That Yao story was hilarious lol lol
"what am i doing? what am i doing??' lol I'm dead.
Respect to KG tho.
😂
The way Kevin Garnett narrates his stories makes me so happy.
KG giving shoutout to Yao!!
kg a real one. he respects the greats
Yao used to kill him that’s why he better lol
@@truballa103 stop it
@back to Nature he is lmao
When is the timeline
KG and kobe damn that wouldve been nasty
They should have teamed up in 1999. Trade Shaq, I don't care. Garnett was past his absolute prime in 2007.
@@thsu8 You're smoking shit. Not crack, but shit. You would've been shot had you traded a prime Shaq for a young Garnett
@@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372 You understand chemistry, right? Garnett's selflessness would have taken a back seat to Kobe's alpha. KG's relentless intensity also meshes perfectly with Kobe's mamba mentality. Mutual respect. Perfect chemistry. No butting heads and ego clashes. 7 rings together.
@@thsu8 Hmmm, a three peat and 4 Finals appearances seems like amazing chemistry to me. And you're making your claim that's relying heavily on hindsight. So for the final time, you would've been shot trading a prime Shaq for (back then) first time All-NBA player and that's that
@@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372 Ok, so you've never played organized basketball and you don't understand chemistry.
11:39 that kendrick perkins impersonation was on point LMAO
-6_elvis_i6_evils_6- 😂😂😂
when I listen to KG I change his voice in my head to those old school itsreal85 KG LOL
Doc bruh!!!! ME TOOOOO!!!🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
Forget the offense, just imagine the defense with Kobe and KG anchoring both levels and switching/double teaming off of their incredible instincts on that end (watching KG defensive highlights is ridiculous).
Would be like poetry in motion
The little African kid 😂😂😂
"NAH..IM FROM DETROIT..."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
KG is a great storyteller! Could listen to dude for hours
He is equivalent to Mark Twain.
As a Lakers fan, KG will *ALWAYS* be my favorite PF.
Paul Gasol?
@@alikassa5437 who tf is PAUL?
He’s like a tall version of DMX
First thing came to my mind lmao
Hahah hit the nail on the head
Plus the Height
Minus the Crack
@@OlliWitta3 😭😭😭😭😭😭
RIP
I love Kg an appreciate his legacy, he understood the seriousness an had that drive
KG And Kobe Bryant had a bond that speaks larger than words
I knew KG was nuts and entertaining, but damn. He can tell stories all day. He’s so much more comfortable from the Area 21 days.
kobe and kg would have been great together
I watch all your shows, KG is by far my favorite guest. He expressing himself so well. When he starts to dance talking about Danny finessing him joking around😭😭 so funny
This show is something special man!!
I’m a go ahead and say what all the real ones finally realizing about Matt since Matt & Kobe retired and Kobe died. When you die you want a real one like Matt keeping it real for your memory. ✊🏿
Hated Matt Barnes when he played but he's intelligent both intellectually and street smart. Amazing.
Born in 86 started really following the NBA in '96...I grew up in the best era of basketball
The Lakers “2K,” would’ve been AWESOME! Two elite TWO WAY players that would LOCK DOWN top players!
KG telling a story like a stand up comedian 🤣
They gotta get Russell Westbrook on this
🏀*#💯!*🚀!*
For what? He’s ass.
@@shudigg 🤔
Shudigg stfu
They gotta get drose on here
KG and Kobe means a 3peat from 2008-2010 and probably beating the Heat in 2011.
I really appreciate what you guys r doing on this show. As a sports fan in general love what u guys r doing. Much love
I already knew this 😂 I remember putting him on the Lakers on 2k and dawg I also thought we were gonna get Chris Paul but y’all know how that played out 🙄
Kobe slapped David stern in heaven for that
Jabrony take my like 😂
Disgusting that they allowed boogie to sign with Golden state
Kobe Bryant And Kevin Garnett As a Duo For the Lakers omg that would had been lit straight fire flames All the Smoke best all time Great show ever Jackson and Barnes keep the good work up for real 💯
Somewhere Stephen A. Smith is saying to himself "Damm, Why Don't They Talk With & To Me Like That!"😂
They do, but not on ESPN
Probably cuz they know Stephen A. and ESPN will twist their words into a narrative. This is real.
They don't wanna get Gilbert Arenas'd
If K.G. had joined Kobe, he'd have 5 rings. RIP Black Mamba, Gianna, & the other 7 people who perished in the helicopter crash, you will never be forgotten 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Right?? Damn shame they didn’t get together!! Would have been titles for days!! They would have picked up Pau anyway! That roster would have been ridiculous!!
Ayo Ticket thanks coming onto the show. The colorful language not allowed on cable television brings authenticity comfortably and free flowing conversation. This is the best sports talk show.
I could listen to KG’s stories all day. Great stuff
It's good to see a great showing respect to how dominant Yao was back in the day.
KG is so much better as a guest and sidekick rather than as a host. He's funny, engaging, insightful, and entertaining as a guest or sidekick. I really enjoyed this episode with KG.
Sheesh! If he would’ve hooked up with Kobe!!! That would’ve been insane!
well Gasol did it almost perfect
Waaben21 did you just compare Gasoline to KG!?!
@@TrestanSKYWALKR no he's just saying gasol is a better fit for kobe
AnotherSKYWALKR don’t be obtuse
AnotherSKYWALKR Gasol is a better fit cause he ain’t a Alpha
Love hearing the stories man keep them coming
damn I'm lucky to been born in the 80s & fall n luv wit this game in the 90s
KG and Kobe play together and Kobe has 6 rings for sure since there would be no big 3 in Boston.
The Lakers we’re already really good defensively around 2008-2010. Add KG and it’s an ez 3 peat.
nah man, Kobe would have 7 at least. KG is much better than Pao.
Jose Perales Kobe probably thought KG was too good to team up with. Pau was a really good player but he wasn’t an MVP caliber guy. Bean probably thought winning with Ticket would’ve been viewed similarly to winning with Shaq and he couldn’t have that. He needed to be the unquestioned man to solidify his legacy.
Gregory Hayes in 2011 they lost coach Phil Jackson and Kobe was injured so nah they wouldn’t get 7. Kobe never had good results without Phil sad to say. Need a good coach to do well in the league
@@supremeleem9488 I think they would have still won 3 together. Remember kobe lost in 2008 against the celtics. Had they had KG, Celtics wouldn't even have gotten that far. It could have been a 3peat rather than back to back.
The love they showed Yao is awesome, folks sleep on his shot, one of the best shooters as a big man.
My boy been talking to the ground since the video started 😂😂😂😂 my boy KG
This is the best episode of the podcast BY FAR!!!
i never forget the alley opp KG threw to Kobe in the all star game. Instant classic! imagine had they teamed up.
Watched the backend of their careers but still
Enjoy this shit, hopefully this generation can have podcasts like this. Sharing stories from Curry, Russ, Dame, KD etc
Dmx lol I always looked at kg like that the energy and confidence he in my top 5 of all time Yea I said it lol we got the same bday damit
Uh, no. Not top 5
You know KG is at home when guys in the crowd are yelling and he just goes with it. So comfortable.
Kobe and KG.. Damn, cant even imagine.
They stretch the floor and would be an absolute matchup nightmare on elm street
Man KG came thru wit tha city of God reference major respect for that that movie so classic nd underrated
Imagine t Mac, Chris Paul and Garnett play along with Kobe... omg 😯
Nocturne.9 .Chopin that would have been a super stacked team no doubt!
Dream team...they would've won at least 70 games AND the title....at least 4 straight
Great job with this channel, Newmedia!!
Stephen jackson when talking about paul pierce " best footwork ever"..... did you forget about kobes footwork?
Jay G you mean Jordans footwork
T Berg Kobe had a lil better footwork tbh
@@thumpmasterTRE its been stated kobe had the best footwork in the game even better then jordans.
Well even Kobe said about Pierce that his footwork was the best he ever played against. Soooo it's not that much of a stretch. I think Stack was just trying to give that man the credits he deserves, he knows and we all know Kobe was better
Best foot work and most missed shots
KG is such an entertaining story teller man he can make you crack up while just being dead serious lol
Best imitation of BEAUMONT's FINEST
KENDRICK PERKINS
LMAO
tk my life is like a movie
synergy is everything....great advice KG!
Kobe respects dawgs‼️
I like that respect and shout out he gave to Yao Ming. Everyone forgets, prime Yao ming was THAT dude bro. It's a shame his career ended so early.
Who would have thought all the smoke would blow up like this , love this show
Believe it or not, KG and Kobe were in my NBA LIVE 08 lineup and they won 3 chips.
When He called Rondo “the little African nigga” to Danny Ainge I was hollering lmao 😂
Netflix: Are you still watching? Us: @9:30
Hearing what goes on inside the NBA beyond the PC commentary these stars usually give is dope.
KG love you bro! But Kobe never flinched. And I'm a Celtics fan. R.I.P. Kobe and GiGi and everyone involved in that horrific tragedy.
This is great I like how KG got that work out drive that Kobe would do to at 4 in the morning ;)!!
In it help in his performance on the floor!!
Kobe and kg would’ve been the ultimate legacy. Defensively great at their positions. Offensively can go off at any time, and selfless
(Kobe was selfless when he trusted his teammates to get it done) similar to him and Pau, Garnett is a different animal tho
So true Kobe did what he had to do to win he is and was never a selfish player he rewarded hard work like you said pau I say fisher Horry fox all players he trusted and worked real well with and they worked like he did people who say he was selfish just hate his greatness and not hurt their guy convo for best ever Kobe the 🐐
One of the best interviews
I saw KG & Kobe play in an All-star game together for the West, before KG went to Boston to form their Big 3; I said if they were to put these two together, it would've been a wrap....
Very nice photo of the Chicago skyline and Willis Building as the backdrop. ☺
KG is such a fun interview and storyteller.
Thanks y'all
9:28 pause chief😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Bruh 🤣 saw your comment as it happened 💀💀
Bruh! KG stories is FIRE! Out of the ppl y'all had on here.. He's the only 1 I've watched from beginning to end bro 💯
That duo would’ve been so tuff ‼️‼️
Former players from this era make the best analyst it’s always 100
God I love hearing guys like kg talk. I be on the edge of my seat. Because it feel like going back in time with all the launch table basketball talks but getting the inside scoop.
Kg is as real as it gets good interview shout out to all the smoke.!!
Nash & Stat were like the 2nd coming of Stockton and Malone
I do wonder what nash & KG would have been like if KG decided to come to Phoenix
Just hearing KG quote City of God made my day 😂😂😂
This is a different KG that I’m used to seeing getting roasted by Sir Charles.
Yooooo !! KG & KOBE I ain’t never think of that one that would’ve been crazyy
No lie this is the best show time show can't stop watch kevin even about Jordan
Kevin Garnett is literally DMX’s more successful younger brother
DMX was successful but he fell of because of his drug addiction
@@MakaveliDior never said he wasn’t successful
Damn this shit hurts me cause I always wanted them to team up. Either Kobe/KG or Kobe and Tmac. To hear that Kobe didnt hit him back up hurts even more. Cause that was Kobe’s chance to 3 peat again for sure. Look what he did with Pau and kG was a different animal. The lakers took like 3 prime years away from Kobe but he messed up for not hitting KG back up.
KG & Kobe 4 rings easily
Right?? Damn shame that they didn’t get together!! They probably get Pau anyway! Imagine that roster! Imagine the chemistry between Kobe and Kg! The intensity in those practices!! Pau was labeled as “soft” at certain points in 2008 and 2011 and 2012, and frankly played like it at times, even at times when the Lakers won. He DEFINITELY wouldn’t be “soft” if he had Kevin as a teammate!! Always motivating and pushing him to be better! I don’t even think it’s the “Kobe was in China” thing. It’s not his responsibility to keep track of those things. It’s the Lakers front office jobs! Jim Buss knew Garnett was in the market and he did NOTHING! Lmao! Damn Jim Buss! That whole Lakers franchise led by Jim Buss did hardly anything for Kobe after 2002. Had a chance to win so many more titles if they actually put the work in and brought people in. Kg in 2007 would have been titles for days! 2008, 2009, 2010, I believe they lose in 2011 because it’s almost impossible to 4 peat, but they win again in 2012. Damnit! We were robbed of one of the greatest duos ever! I hope there’s a parallel world or universe somewhere in which Kobe and Kg were teammates. Heck at that point I would rather they get together when they were younger! As soon as Shaq left in 04, the mvp Kg in his prime should come over!
Check the all-star game highlights. KG and Kobe always had a connection. 💯
Kobe never flinched what KG talk bout
Right
Stone cold
KG & Kobe needed to happen. They would’ve won 4 for sure. 2 straight up dawgs!!!
“What are your intentions with my daughter?”
Me: 9:29
Haha
😭😭😭😭
Every major platform needs to interview KG, you're welcome!
Kevin Garnett the reason Kendrick Perkins been trash his whole career 😭 took all his confidence
Nah, he made perk better. Perk would have no ring either
And when perk went down in 2010 finals celtics lost cuz we had nobody for bynum
@@lawlor2925 eggzackly
...shid, he was right when he was wit that boston sqwad tho...
What??? He's literally the reason Perk was able to stay in the league AND GET PAID AT THAT!!! I'm a Celtics supporter so I seen first hand how ass Perk was when peered with Al Jefferson. Perk's my dude but come on now.
