Throwback: Kevin Garnett debuts for Boston Celtics with 22/20/5/3/3 statline and a win (11/02/2007) - Sport
This squad was scary when they first formed
When low-post play used to be a thing
It is NUTS that this was 10 years ago. These years were some of my favorite ever as a Boston sports fan

Prime KG was most versatile and dominant PF of all time
absolutely!
Thank you.
Agree
facts
No question
This was his final year in his prime. After the 2009 injury KG's post game vanished, he was never really the same after that injury.
Zoge he was still pretty good
Zoge He also stopped wearing Addidas.
Just like Kobe was never the same after the Achilles.
He was absolutely still elite the next season just Uber focused on defense the big 3 all took hits offensively....but your def right he wasn't the same offensively.....KGs in my top ten all time list....in his prime he was absolutely amazing....it was so nuts seeing him in Boston....I'm a Philly guy and remember being so jelly that year....mustbot been an amazing year for Celtic fans.....I'll take this team over any of the super teams that followed..even the kd warriors or stacked heat....KG is my all time 4
it didn't vanish come on now
KG will forever be one of my favorite players. The passion, athleticism, and smarts that he brought to the game was incredible. Good to see Scal out there too!
I miss KG's post-game. Those fade aways are unstoppable back in the day.
I still remember this game like it was yesterday. I knew at that very moment that they would win the chip. They were so dominant defensively. Had KG never suffered that knee injury in 09 in Utah, this team would've easily 3peated. He was never the same player after that injury
Manny P i remember that season. their first 30 games were 30-2
Forsure they would've gone to 3 straight finals
Stop it. They wouldn’t have won in 08 had Bynum and Ariza both been healthy.
bjsw534 exactly and nobody was beating kobe and that laker team in 09 even if kg was healthy. They were too hungry.
I love kg but they wouldn’t easily 3 peat. That 08 Celtic team had to go through multiple game 7s in the east. And they wouldn’t beat the lakers 3 times in a row
3:15 "BLOCK PARTY"
LMAOOOOOO
😂
😭😭😭😭
I started to watch NBA closely because of 07 Celtics team and KG became my favorite player and after 11 years i still bleed green GO CELTICS!
Paul pierce was my favorite in 07 Celtics team. I also started to care more about nba during Celtics 07-08 season. Never stop loving this team after 07.
same here!!
Fernando Vargas true big props to the truth - great leader and one of the greatest SF of all time
Same here! The 07-08 celtics' defense was something special.
Favorite player ever reason I'm a fan of the game
and they call Giannis a "superstar"....I hate how people forget about true greatness for the sake of moving on to the next thing. Garnett had the inside presence, the rbs, the passing, the handles, and could shoot from ANYWHERE and make it consistently.....THAT is a SUPERSTAR. People should stop using that title so lightly.
Lmao you weirdos come on a Garnett video just to talk about giannis. Clearly you love him.
Well this was embarrassing, Garnett is a legend fr but Gianni’s is no doubt gonna be a hall of famer
If KG didn't get injured in 2009 this squad would be in the conversation of GOAT's. I would put this team up against any in history.
This Celtic team should of won atleast 2 back to back
They almost did that LA team was also full of legends in their primes ....I wish they did...I'm a sixer fan tho lol....rip Kobe btw
@@justinbaronofsky360 there were no legends in the lakers aside kobe. Gasol was the only other relevant star. Bynum was always injured. Artest is a thug. Fisher isn't a star.
They probably would have but Garnett blew out his knee in the middle of next season. They had the best record in the league at that point that year too.
When Kendrick Perkins was relevant
𓅗𝒾𝒸𝑒𝒷𝒶𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒶𝓃𓅗 It took you 7 months to make this joke?
Welen Nelew When he actually wore an NBA uniform rt! Lol
Only nba player that i love to watch him play no matter what team he went is KG.
Amazing how Boston turned its season around within one year. You just knew Pierce and KG had it along with Ray Allen the moment they formed that trio. Boston trading the 5th pick for Allen was a sign they were not going to rebuild and preferred to remain competitive.
Wonder how Ray and kd wouldwould of went.back then on Seattle
rebuild? they didnt have anyone that was the rebuild bringing in garnett and allen lol. it won a ring and changed the culture and many winning exciting seasons. still upset they didnt pull the game out today. fucking dumb ass mavericks and dagger threes . thats now three times in a row theyve played where they won the game on last second three. gtfo.
@@justinbaronofsky360 judging by what KD is doing now, most likely not good
Legendary team, my fav team of all time. Man look at that starting 5!
The team that made me fall in love with defense. Constantly holding teams around 70-80 points.
Feels like yesterday! And this was 2007! 15yrs ago.
I can almost guarantee there was a lot of owners, coaches, players, and fans that were shaking their heads after watching this game knowing a freight train of a team was ready to steam roll through the NBA. My favorite team of all time.
2008 celtics is my favorite superteam of all time
Back when there was still some defense
Im here after the Jersey retirement! ANYTHING IS POSSSIBLEEEEE!
I miss Tommy's voice. Rest in peace legend.
The moment KG brandished his Celtics uniform, we knew that it was going to be a special, magical season ❤️💚 Go Celtics 🏀
KG must’ve been souped watching the players around him actually contribute and be able to isolate the ball. “Finally I can take a break!” Lol
Kg always reminded me of a bigger MJ....just with the crazy competitive nature the defensive dominance the trash talk the fade away....even the look with the bald head......man I think kg is the best power forward ever....Tim Duncan was amazing but always had pop and lots of hof's...... nothing against Timmy hes my number two power forward ever....but KG in his absolute prime was amazing if he got out of the timber "woods" earlier he'd probably have more hardware
tim finished with more career points,rebounds and blocks than kg and 3 more defensive teams tim was clearly better than kg
@@michaelsevilla3226 That’s just longevity
It's really nice hearing Tommy Heinsohn's voice throughout this
There was not a literal moment where the city did not adore kg lol
He was the only legit superstar of the big 3. Overall, the best PF I've ever seen, his mvp season was better than Duncan, Malone and Barkley respective mvp seasons. The major difference is his defense, the guy was a monster on both ends.
Watching any of the big 3 highlights individually would make them all look like allstars bc they all were
@@victordwyer1018 he was the best of the big 3 by far tho
@R
KG definitely was a monster on both ends, but so was Duncan. It's close between them.
@@justsayin669 I think they are on a equal level considering the offense, but on defense KG had the edge. His lone MVP season is the most dominant performance of a PF in NBA history (regular season, of course). But, unlike Duncan, KG wasn't able to sustain this crazy level of play for long. Still a star when he arrived in Boston, but those crazy prime years were gone.
@@RRRRRRRRR33
They are both right there with eachother on offense and defense. KG may have had a slight defensive advantage if any, but they are both top 5 all time defenders. Both of their primes were virtually the same length too, about 10 years. I would say Duncan's prime was 1997-98 through 2006-07 and I would say KG's prime was from at least 1998-99 through 2007-08. Duncan may have been at all star caliber for 1 or 2 more years than KG was, but that's about it.
1:47 i see the goat
I was watching the game live when ticket went up and came down on the leg😠....change history..This starting 5 never lost a series with everyone healthy!Rondo,#####,Truth,Ticket and Perkins
Antwan Jamison has borderline HOF stats....he was really good...man I miss 2ks basketball so many legends
GOAT
What a time to be alive.
Love hearing Tommy again ❤
Remember how much Tommy hated the trade before this game? Always cracks me up how after one game he did a full 180. Dude LOVED Big Al.
Man shits crazy I was in 7th grade when craziness was happening. Feels like it was yesterday such.
Same
Beast
How he not get MVP in 08 🤯
KG is my favorite player of all time.
Wasn’t a Celtics bandwagon but I loved seeing them win lol
Still watching 💪💪💪 March 17, 2022
That deadly mid-range by KG!!! This brings a lot of good memories...
The moment Pistons fans knew we had our hands full in the East
I loved watching KG play for the Celtics !!!
That 08’ Celtics was playin prison ball
Forgot how good KG was in his prime! Forgot how beautiful basketball fundamental is. Damn MN!
So many memories that year, pistons were tough in playoffs for celtics, same with hawks that yr
This is why KG is on the rafters within the Garden
i am crying
Back when the game is exciting and not just pulling up some cheesy threes.
Karl Ishigawa it was a 20 point blowout lmao
That starting when healthy still has NEVER lost a playoff series.
Scal is out there!
KG. The MFing MAN!
That was a great watch
I miss the mid range game.
Kg is my fav power forward
hakeem is playing center so that hakeem is best center
Kg can shoot outside and inside
Can dribble the ball can pass can defense all around thats why i like
The big ticket
Kevin Garnett
14 year old me had a great time on this day!
Had the pleasure of watching KG and Duncan’s careers from start to finish. Hard to say if they were the “greatest” PFs of all time, but I’d definitely say they were the best.
One of my Fav teams!
3:15 blockparty
Huge fan of KG since his wolves years. I was so upset when kobe got his revenge the following year. Celtics 5 back when rondo was averaging 12 assist per game.
If he stay in Minne, his stats will be the same. But he got chip in Boston which is a pure teamwork.
And the rest, as they say, was history...
5:51 Daniel Theis sure is a fan even before
Yes.
Who is here after KG Jersey retirement
He's still Minnesota's management now with Kevin Mchale😁👍,he's remind me of Dennis Rodman too beside the hairstyle
KG WILL STILL ONE OF THE BEST NO MATTER WHAT INJURIES OR NOT LET'S GO CELTICS WILL SLAY NEXT YEAR KYRIE AND GORDON IS BACK!!!
The last true low post player.
Mike Radcliffe Al Jefferson
Such a relief when your best players aren't Marko Jaric, Trenton Hassell and Wally Szcerbiak
Classic!...and I see you Bob Kraft 6:46
6:26 steven adams
its vestrizy lol Pollard does look a little like him there
The Big Ticket... if he had the team Duncan had he would have been the best big man ever to play. Hes already top 5 with 1 ring. His best teammates was Sam Cassell and Wally Szerbiak oh and Troy Hudson. KG did everything better than Duncan except have a winning team
I know right, and dont forget the timberwolves drafted ray allen in 1995 but they traded picks withe bucks and they got stephon FREAKING MARBURY, and it was not TERRIBLE, but they blew that trade. And his next best teammate was latrell sprewell who was old and near the end of his career by 2003 they got him in the trade
Blake Dowling I think his best teammate was Paul Pierce ( ;
Joshy The Squashy I was talking about pre Celtics if he had Paul Pierce quality teammates he would have at least 3 rings maybe more
Tony Parker and Ginobili were not projected to even be good.
Rafael Garcia yes. Tony and Ginobili were picked really good. And dont forget that garnett got too much fucking money. So if he wanted better teammates, i dont know, maybe he should have thought about getting less money huh people?
For me, it was weird to not have Scal on the PBP
6:50 wow you don’t see love like that to the fans anymore
6:25 didn't know Steven Adams played im the 2008 Boston
That's Pollard lol. He used to play with the kings
KG was so dangerous in the 17-18’ range jumper. The only one I can think of that was better there was probably Dirk.
Wasn't this Ray Allen his first game too?
Instantly meshed
Imagine if they moved him to the 5 and played Posey or Powe at the 4
KG 3:15 - "Block Party"
is it only me or does the arena seemed foggy?
LOL of course doc goes with a 8 man lineup in a regular season game in november
Tbt
Why did it say 12 year career?😂
14 years since he got traded to boston wow
Celtics starts the superteam
Not really though cause they got Garnett through trade
Would the 2008 Boston team beat the current Warriors?
hmmmm probably yes, coz they played better defense than nowadays babies
5:08 kwame brown would be laughing his ass off if he saw this
This team shouldve won at least 2 chips. But this team grew old quickly. lol
no agent zero?
He's playing
2:43-2:45
6:48.......Garnett fists the kids!!!!
Y'all hear the cheer when Garnett sinks his first free throws?
Multiply that noise by a million when Hayward sinks his first shot at the garden next season!
aged like fine wine. . .
@@senormedia lol. Like milk left on the counter
Look at this shit herr..But they say Lebron formed an Superteam1st ?? Fuck naw
K.G using and abusing Jamison.
Garnett > Giannis
Fake tough 🤡
