Kevin Garnett was re-introduced as member of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday afternoon.
There were media member, Timberwolves employees and some Timberwolves season ticket members.
There were also a few unexpected spectators in the background.
There’s Ricky!
In case you’re wondering, this is not a normal thing. Players generally don’t come to another player’s press conference. Susan has been with the Timberwolves for 25 years and this is the first time she’s seen it.
That tells you just how much respect these players have for KG.
“I think on other time in my career (a team went to a player’s press conference),” Martin said. “Yesterday was special. I didn’t know we had that many people in the organization, that many media members. It was a good setting.”
Garnett is going to be spending many hours with these teammates for at least the rest of the season. They’ve heard the stories and they know how much Garnett means to the state of Minnesota.
“It was great,” LaVine said. “With all the support. He means so much to the community.”
