Το “αντίο” του ΝΒΑ στον Γκαρνέτ (pics)

Ο Κέβιν Γκαρνέτ ανακοίνωσε την αποχώρησή του από την ενεργό δράση και οι σταρ του ΝΒΑ θέλησαν να αποχαιρετήσουν με τον δικό τους τρόπο τον σπουδαίο άσο.

ΛεΜπρόν Τζέιμς, Στέφ Κάρι, Κρις Πολ, Πάου Γκασόλ, Ντάμιαν Λίλαρντ, Καρλ Άντονι Τάουνς και Ρίκι Ρούμπιο ήταν μεταξύ αυτών που αποφάσισαν να πουν το δικό τους, προσωπικό “αντίο” στον Κέβιν Γκαρνέτ.

I mean where do I start. First watching you play at the Solon Cage Classic in Ohio with Team Michigan when u were in HS, I believe I was 10 years old and I was like dang this dude nice!! Then a lil time passed and u were drafted straight out of HS to the pros so I felt like man whoever get him is a lucky team. And I surely wasn't wrong! The KID nickname was fly, swaged out and made a 10 year old kid from Akron believe he could run with the big boys himself! Fast forward 8 years later that kid you inspired entered the draft fresh out of HS as well. Thank you!! Competing vs you in whatever uniform u were in at the time meant the world to me because of two distinctive trait u had. Passion and commitment to just compete every single possession. U showed me what it took and we never played on the same team(All-Star games is different). Thank you! Congratulations to The Big Ticket on a helluva career! HOF is your next stop to cap it all off, the cherry on top!! 1 Love

Thank you for everything my brother. You know how much I'm gonna miss playing with you and just simply having you around. Congrats on having one of the greatest careers the game has ever seen. We talked. I know what I must do. I'll take it from here.
