Kevin garnett

  • Kevin Garnett and Mickael Pietrus are polar opposites. While one could argue that Garnett is the most intense player to ever step foot on an NBA court, Pietrus is one of the leagues most jocular players.

  • MIAMI -- A week ago, the Boston Celtics were too old. Three games later, theyre one win away from the NBA Finals. And Miami -- the team that was constructed with hopes of supplanting Boston as the power in the Eastern Conference -- is suddenly in big trouble.
  • (ESPN)
  • That put Kevin Garnett in a precarious position. The Celtics center burnished his reputation on toughness as much as skill. He pounds his chest and screams and does push-ups on the court. His trash talk can get downright abusive, but its part of his image.
  • (Detroit Free Press)
  • The idea that Kevin Garnett is somehow not clutch is incorrect, tired and lazy. Thats without even getting into the fact that the idea of a closer in the NBA sense is an absolute anachronism.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • They were both warriors; they both wore Celtics Green; they were both huge; only one of them, however, has multiple championships. Kevin Garnett moved a step closer to having one more thing in common with Bill Russell on Tuesday night.

  • In the moment, 3-pointers by Mickael Pietrus and Paul Pierce were the plays that changed and sealed the game, pushing the Boston Celtics past the Miami Heat, through the final buzzer of a 94-90 Game 5 win and to the verge of a return to the NBA finals.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • Hes 36 years old and has 17 years worth of mileage on his legs, but Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has shown during the 2011-12 season that he may have a couple of productive NBA seasons left in him.
  • (Bleacherreport.com)
  • Less than three months ago the Boston Celtics were on the verge of breaking up their Big Three of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. But the March 15 trade deadline came and went.
  • (USA Today)
  • When the NBA lockout wasnt settled, the players disbanded and sued the league and Boston Celtics power forward Kevin Garnett started missing his $833,333 bi-monthly paychecks. But the prospect of no season likely hurt Scott Noguiera more than Garnett.
