Kevin Garnett says it pains him to watch players like Evan Mobley, Paolo Banchero and Bam Adebayo just go through the motion, and it leaves him wondering what they worked on over the summer:
“I used Bam because I love watching him. I like his style, but I’m watching the league of young guys. I’m watching Mobley. I’m watching Bam. And each time I watch him, I see him with guys who never played in the league, and I go, ‘Damn, I want to see what Evan Mobley, Bam, and Paolo brought this year that’s going to make them one of the best bigs this year.’
“So I’m sitting here articulating the league, and I get so disappointed when I go away with what I’m expecting to see vs. what I’m looking at. That tells me you did nothing in the summer.
“Listen, I know what goes on in the summer. Listen, I know when you go work on something. When you have an injury in April, I know when you get to July, you don’t have an injury anymore. I’m just holding this league accountable. From guys to go from 1.0 to 2.0, you got to work with a player that emulates somebody that gives you league shit to take you to an advantage.”
Steph Curry calls out Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas, and everyone else talking about Ayesha Curry, telling them to keep his wife’s name out of their mouths 😳
“Kind of speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they’re allowed and what they’re not allowed to do.”
