Watch Full Kevin Garnett Introduction with Timberwolves (Video)
By Josh Hill
Kevin Garnett was introduced with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night and the Target Center went nuts.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have had two superstar players in their franchise history but only one of them is destined for the Hall of Fame at this point. While Kevin Love was a superstar, Kevin Garnett helped lay the foundation for a franchise to thrive on.
Minnesota was a fresh faced franchise when they drafted Garnett in 1995 and he proceeded to change them into a respectable team and a contender that was legitimized in NBA circles. When he was traded away it devastated fans but the nostalgia was turned all the way up on Wednesday night when Garnett returned in a Wolves uniform the first time in a long time.
Kevin Garnett is back and the Big Ticket lived up to the name on Wednesday night when he was introduced with the Wolves for the first time since being traded away to Boston.
Kevin Garnett returning to the Timberwolves likely won’t bring about a winning season this year, but it could be yet another move that fortifies the future and gives the team hope moving forward. They have young stars in the making with Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine and others, and with the leadership of Garnett there could be plenty of good things to come.
Of course, that’s assuming a lot about a Wolves team that has been continuously disappointing for basically ever can turn things around but Garnett changed the franchise once and many are hoping he can do it again.
