It's surreal when you realize that most of those guys on the team now probably weren't even born OR were small children when K.G. got drafted by the Timberwolves...
Me and Andrew Wiggins are both the same age (20) Kevin Garnett was drafted June 28,1995 at age 19, Andrew Wiggins was born February 23, 1995. It's crazy when you think about it he was only 5 months when Garnett was drafted and now there teammates.
Kruuzza18 Because this sort of thing is what sports is all about. The emotion from the fans and the players. The love and gratitude for a player that gave them so many great memories coming back to where he started. Emotional things like this are why we love sports.
I was lucky enough to be in attendance. Such a memorable night, every aspect of this game and presentation, Jiggly Boy, Montell Jordan performing at halftime… It was nearly perfect.
I remember when I was young and went on a trip to nyc with the twolves with my dad. Kevin Garnett squeezed my head and asked me what game I was playing on my gameboy. And I got to meet flip Saunders as well, still the coolest thing that I have ever done and that was back in 04.
I can relate I met him in St.Louis for a exhibition game against the Bucks he was standing outside the hotel eating Krispy Kreme donuts even asked my cousin & I if we wanted some he was very down to earth & cool as hell& I got to see Ray Allen score 40 pts& made it look so easy definitely a night I'll never forget 🏀🏀🏀
I still get chills watching this. KG is an all time great and one of my favorite players ever. First NBA game i ever watched was in the playoffs when he scored 48 against the Lakers. KG is the best
I'm a lakers fan but much respect for kevin Garnett too see him back home he looks better in t wolves jersey.... He reminds me of Kobe his a laker for life!!
Even me, as a Boston fan. Growing up he's always been my favorite player whether he was in a wolves jersey or celtics. He was at his best in Minnesota and was the most intense and fun to watch player for me. I'm happy he's able to end his career there, and go out like he came in.
I disagree. I think they would get out of the first round, finally, maybe reach the WCF had Marbury elevated his career. But I still don't think they would have beaten the Lakers, Blazers or even the Kings in the early 2000s. Those three teams were loaded back then.
I agree on this one, Marbury could have been one of the best PGs in the NBA during that time. Building around the two key players would have made it easy for the Timberwolves to make a run at the championship.
I'm just now discovering this video.. Mann if that was me they would've had to take a TV timeout for me to get myself together from all the tears flowing what a soul touching tribute... I actually met KG what a cool dude& he was very down to earth 🏀👑
KG is the OG of the NBA. For 20+ years, he has been the most intense competitor in the NBA and no doubt has himself in conversation for top 20 player of all time. If not that, he is certainly top 10 competitiveness
I love this video. Sends shivers down my spine. Makes me think about the old days. Absolutely love this. My intensity is on 100 just like how KG's always was, is, and will be. Congrutaltions KG you've become one with the force (NBA hall of fame) just like how Yoda died in Star Wars and become one with the force to help Luke. Man this is epic! Who else is thinking about the first time through when KG was on the T Wolves!?!
Went to this game during my senior year of high school. Had fun being at it. Bought myself a KG jersey shirt as a souvenir. KG will have his T-Wolves # retired one day once Glen Taylor is out of the picture.
Kevin Garnett can now be to Andrew Wiggins, what Sam Mitchell was to him: A mentor, father figure. It's exciting to see this! Great way for KG to go out!
Don’t forget former Portland Trail Blazers star point guard Terry Porter. Both Porter and Mitchell were Garnett’s mentors when Minnesota were stuck with two petulant wannabe stars like Isaiah Rider and Christian Laettner.
KG wanted to win with his own team. KG did not quit and tried so hard to win them a championship. KG could have joined Kobe or Tracy but he didn't. KG is one of best players to ever play against Jordan and Pippen, Kobe and Shaq. Easy NBA Top 5 All time.
KG 's story is 1 of THE BEST one's. We've watch him grow from a boy to a man. And 1 of the best big men in the game. Killin part is he didn't even go to college, nobody taught to want to be gr8 & a pro, he just went out & did it, AND he NEVER HALF-ASSED on the court. He is 1 of the last few of the old school big men/players. #Passion #Heart #WarriorAttitude The man was worth watching.That's #KG
Celtics fan, love kg no matter where he plays, I always cheered for him after he left us and can't wait to see him inducted in to the basketball hall of fame
Celtics and Wolves are so very different...but they both have a certain kind of flare, of character....i think that is why garnett fits well into both teams.
seeing that Nene guarded KG this game, in the introduction they should've shown Kevin Garnett's facial dunk on Nene back when Nene was playing for the Nuggets.
KG actually wanted to stay in Minnesota even after losing seasons and wasting his prime there. he balked at other trade offers and only went to Boston after ray Allen signed he had no choice if he wanted a ring no superstar did more for a small franchise since Lillard.
Best PF of all time! Wasn't blessed with teammates but at least he won a chip at Boston!!! If only Marbury wasn't a crazy ass fool Minnesota would've won at least one!

This video should have more views. Underrated moment in nba history this man literally carried this franchise for his best yrs
Not just his best. But the franchises best. It’s a damn shame his number isn’t in the rafters at target center.
Carried them where?
@@OlSkoolinto your mom house.
To the conference finals in 2004... The best player in team's history, and one of the best PFs the game has ever seen.
@@Hades-302ironic that the same thing happened 20 years later
Intro gave me chills. Garnett was one of my favorite current players back during his original Timberwolves era.
It's surreal when you realize that most of those guys on the team now probably weren't even born OR were small children when K.G. got drafted by the Timberwolves...
Wiggins & LaVine were around 8 months old. Just learning to walk. Still in diapers.
Me and Andrew Wiggins are both the same age (20) Kevin Garnett was drafted June 28,1995 at age 19, Andrew Wiggins was born February 23, 1995. It's crazy when you think about it he was only 5 months when Garnett was drafted and now there teammates.
Jarrod McNish, they're*
El Hajj Malik El you get my point
"not even born"? Dude, you overdo things ^^
Im not even a Minnesota fan but I cried for no reason

I'm a Celtics fan but got respect for min for doing that
so do i dude, so do i..
Sissy
@Kruuzza18 - Because you are a beta-male with a vagina.
glad to see KG comes back to wolves！one of the greatest PF in NBA history

My childhood basketball hero! Still getting goosebumps by watching this.

I was in the Target Center that night, never heard a crowd that loud. The most fun game I've ever been to!
I still get chills watching this. KG is an all time great and one of my favorite players ever. First NBA game i ever watched was in the playoffs when he scored 48 against the Lakers. KG is the best
Rip flip Saunders

@@Kuronak237 raiders?
That passion and intensity of KG never fades
Had Marbury not lost his sanity and turned into the player he should have been, I think Garnett gets a ring in Minnesota during his prime
I disagree. I think they would get out of the first round, finally, maybe reach the WCF had Marbury elevated his career. But I still don't think they would have beaten the Lakers, Blazers or even the Kings in the early 2000s. Those three teams were loaded back then.

I agree. Those two would have been Malone-Stockton but would have won a ring.
Nah Kings and Lakers were still far better lol.
dpinzow Or pick Ray Allen and keep him and nit trade him
My All-Time Favorites
Magic
MJ/Kobe/A.I.
T-Mac
The Big Ticket
Shaq
An all-time great warrior (not GS) in sports history. Always brings the intensity, heart and dedication.
This comment started a dynasty
@@rigel5449 I didn't mean it to rip on the Warriors! I was just clarifying the obvious.
Man, I'm still crying to this day
sutch a beautiful moment to see KG return to the Timberwolves for his last few years in the NBA. i guess you can go home again after all.
Goosebumps every time I watch this.
Damn it 3 years later, GOOSEBUMPS W/ sum little manly tears
I'm just now discovering this video.. Mann if that was me they would've had to take a TV timeout for me to get myself together from all the tears flowing what a soul touching tribute... I actually met KG what a cool dude& he was very down to earth 🏀👑
Great to see KG back home!
His intensity keeps me playing ball all the time. The charisma, energy. It's electrifying
I get goosebumps at 4:07 with the wolf howling in the background.
the best destination of his player career, best tribute to him !
KG is the OG of the NBA. For 20+ years, he has been the most intense competitor in the NBA and no doubt has himself in conversation for top 20 player of all time. If not that, he is certainly top 10 competitiveness
with the only competitor I know of at the same level in his career being Kobe Bryant
I love this video. Sends shivers down my spine. Makes me think about the old days. Absolutely love this. My intensity is on 100 just like how KG's always was, is, and will be. Congrutaltions KG you've become one with the force (NBA hall of fame) just like how Yoda died in Star Wars and become one with the force to help Luke. Man this is epic!

goosebumps each and every time
I think people honestly forget just how truly great this man was. KG was that dude man!!!
And then there's "jiggly boy" (intense background music)
Kevin Garnett can now be to Andrew Wiggins, what Sam Mitchell was to him: A mentor, father figure. It's exciting to see this! Great way for KG to go out!
Don’t forget former Portland Trail Blazers star point guard Terry Porter. Both Porter and Mitchell were Garnett’s mentors when Minnesota were stuck with two petulant wannabe stars like Isaiah Rider and Christian Laettner.
Lmfao, andrew Wiggins doesn't give a fuck about basketball, 2 different players, ones a bitch and ones a fucking warrior
This aged like a fine wine
I have probably watched this about 20 times and i get chills everytime
KG wanted to win with his own team. KG did not quit and tried so hard to win them a championship. KG could have joined Kobe or Tracy but he didn't. KG is one of best players to ever play against Jordan and Pippen, Kobe and Shaq. Easy NBA Top 5 All time.
Just watched him enter the hof. Legend
Used to watch this guy as Boston Celtics in the mid 00s but I am glad he returned to his draft team and retired as one of their players.
Not a fan of the wolves but this was awesome !
KEVIIIIINNNN GAAAAARNEEEETTT
one of my favorite players growing up, he brings so much passion to the game
Was at the game....... so emotional 😭
The powder to the announce tables faces is one of the best tip off entrances ever
If you were there you couldn't even hear the guy announcing his name it was so loud. One of the best games I've ever been too
i cried because i realized im old
K G!! One of the most intense nba players of all time!!
my favorite player of all time

swacfan100 He Gave It His 100%
That game was so much fun to watch. I wish I could have been there.
This gives me the feels!
My Idol. WELCOME BACK KG!!!!
I miss him as a net
He always looked better in green and white anyways
#5
Second best player of all time behind only MJ
That introduction was amazing shit got me so hype
Kevin Garnett and Coldplay are not a good choice to put together. They should've used some DMX track
"Homecoming" is a perfect song though.
Yessssss. Garnett is always giving me dmx vibes too
DMX would have been good, but Homecoming was a great fit
That's not Coldplay that's Kanye West
primosuperfan1393 it’s kanye West featuring Chris Martin. Actually a dope song tbh. But now kanye is trumps butler and yes, Coldplay sucks
My favorite player growing up!!! #KG #TheBigTicket #TheFranchise
I cried when I saw this.
Chills.
It's not Underrated. Underrated is not a Compliment.
man he's going to give Zach and Andrew hell. they gon be scared as fuck! 😂😂😂
lol
greatest power forward of all time
Years passed and his jersey #21 still has not been retired
1. Scalabrine
2. Duncan
3. Garnett
ALL TIME GREATEST
+FadeDoesPvP MCPVP And More! Haha you really don't understand sarcasm..... Dumbass
Scalabrine is the greatest nba player of ALL time not just at the forward position but all around... Ok I can't finish cause I'm laughing to hard LOL
+Alejandro Marin Mark Madsen >>>>>>>> Brian Scalabrine
Shows how long you've been watching the NBA
+Justin Cole actually its so funny i forgot to laugh
Alejandro Marin Idiot Scalbrine fucking suck.
KG greatest pf to play, my favorite player
Crazy this was a decade ago
I wanted to see this. Thanks!
Respect!
LO E O E O!
LO E O E O!
*COMING HOME AGAIN*
Best part of this night was the jiggly man coming out of retirement for KG
Celtics fan, love kg no matter where he plays, I always cheered for him after he left us and can't wait to see him inducted in to the basketball hall of fame
As a Bucks fan, I gotta say this was pretty cool.
I'm happy for Kevin Garnett whole career NBA
Celtics and Wolves are so very different...but they both have a certain kind of flare, of character....i think that is why garnett fits well into both teams.
KG came into Boston and gave the Celtics character, just like he did with the Wolves
seeing that Nene guarded KG this game, in the introduction they should've shown Kevin Garnett's facial dunk on Nene back when Nene was playing for the Nuggets.
KG was a Timberwolves to me no matter what teams he played on
Garnett I love you
What music played when they reintroduced him??? Let me know.. He is one of the best power forwards ever..... No doubts about that....
Homecoming- Kanye West
Before flip rip man!! All great history
I haven't seen a timberwolves game that full this season
Dang 23 years in the league
KG 真的是個偉大的球員 !!!
Goosebumps
KG is awesome!
What a career
Greatest Power forward of all time.
mjprelic nope
He is
Nope
Not even top 3. Duncan mchale Malone better.
@@mathai5456 wtf McHale? Nowitzki I would understand but McHale?
this kind of events will inspire rookies in the nba to create their own legend .. hahaha
I hope they won that night
KG actually wanted to stay in Minnesota even after losing seasons and wasting his prime there. he balked at other trade offers and only went to Boston after ray Allen signed he had no choice if he wanted a ring no superstar did more for a small franchise since Lillard.
THE BIG TICKET!
Kanye West - Homecoming
Anyone here was at this games besides me?
cedric lafave me
imo the best pf ever, Duncan is a close #2 but had a better team his whole career
2000s on maybe but there's alot
THNX KG YOU THA BEAST
Lebron James went back to #23 with the Cavaliers now Kevin Garnett goes back to #21 with the Timberwolves
Best PF of all time! Wasn't blessed with teammates but at least he won a chip at Boston!!! If only Marbury wasn't a crazy ass fool Minnesota would've won at least one!
goose bumps
in my eyes greatest power forward ever
HOMECOMING by Kanye is Prime song for this
KG the best pf ever
kg 5 points-2rebounds a game he's a beast
He's 39 and plays about 14 minutes
He's there as a leader and teacher, not a star player. He's there to teach the young players a thing or two about what it takes to be great.
+ag.h.e.m Damn right he's a beast
why would they cut david stern before saying : Kevin Garnett
I laughed so hard at that steal and comment
kg is the best!
