Kevin Garnett finally got a championship ring
Kevin Garnett, what can we say about him, well, he’s one of the best all-around players in the NBA, and all he was missing on his list of awards, was an NBA championship, and so he fought with all he had to make it happen on game 6 for the 2008 NBA Finals, and now he finally completed a resume any NBA player would kill for.
Let’s check some of Garnett’s awards:
1 time NBA champion (2008)
11-time All-Star
NBA MVP (2004)
NBA deffensive player of the year (2008)
NBA All-star game MVP (2003)
Olympic Gold Medal (2000)
Just to name the most important ones.
Garnett had a lousy performance at game 5, but he knew he the championship was so close that he had to do as much as he could to help the franchise to acquire their 17th title, and so he did, and finished with 28 points on game 6 to help the Celtics winning by a margin of 39 points as the game ended 131-92.
After the game ended, every Celtics player celebrated big, but it was Garnett who was the most aroused for the victory, he could not even concentrate when got interviewed, he didn’t had anything else on his mind but a feel of relief after many years of frustration going after a championship ring, now he finally got it.
Yesterday at the press conference after game 6 was over, Kevin Garnett spoke to the cameras and compared his NBA career as to a kid being abused by a bully, "I knocked that Bully's behind out. That was what it felt like," said Garnett.
