I remember the season before.. I thought we were so bad that i'd never see the C's raise a banner in my lifetime. KG came and changed the franchise within a season. 2008 was unreal and as a Celtics fanatic, I can't even express what KG has meant for the franchise. I wasn't able to see Bill Russel or Larry Bird. But I saw Kevin Garnett...
Well said! I am also looking for a more smart way on investment, any idea here?

I'll advise you lookup Christine Lynn Saitta, she's our real investment prodigy and has also helped me handled my trades for over 11 months now
It's fascinating to hear that someone here also employ madam Christine's services. She has been managing my investment so well and my weekly return are mind blowing
A CNBC news host spoke so highly of 💕Christine Lynn Saitta and her loss prevention strategies been trying to get to her ever since
Paid off my $892000 debt within 9 months thanks to Madam Christine! So happy we are finally onto baby step 4, 5 & 6! Amazing! 🇨🇦
Watching KG fight back the tears as he was raising up the banner was powerful to watch.
I saw Larry Bird play his whole career here in Boston; he taught me what the Celtics were all about, and gave me an appreciation for what guys like Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, Bill Cowens, and the rest that preceded him had done to make a Celtics jersey mean something. Something about dedication to greatness, teamwork, hard work, and collectively outsmarting other teams. Kevin Garnett could have played on any of those teams, and fit right in. To think of him stepping out on the court to challenge any team in history with great individual and team defenders Russell, Havlicek, DJ, and Cousy is something to dream about. No one would score on that group. We Celtics fans have been greatly blessed for 70 years.
That gesture and hug with Ray and Paul had me tear up. So good to see!!
I'm from Medford Massachusetts and am old enough where I saw Bird play live.
KG is one of the only players that gave it everything like Larry did.
We are forever grateful, KG,
I am glad KG shout out Ray Allen and they all hugged it out. Cool moment for Celtics and fans worldwide.
I’m glad KG got his number retired in Boston. Maybe one day us fans in Minnesota will get to see his banner in the target center too.
Yo the Ray, Paul and KG hug had me tearing up man...what a moment!
KG was simply unreal. I was in Middleschool in 8th grade when he decide to come to the Celti s and I was so glad I was a Celtics fan. His level of play, passion, relentless attitude and the way we smashed the Lakers by 40 points in an NBA finals game with Kobe Bryant as the opponent was the icing on the cake.
There has never been another like KG, and those powerful, long tears of his while raising the rafters was just......wow. The man loves with his whole heart, his whole entire being and you can just feel it. You deserve KG, you are the personification of what it means to be a Boston Celtic.
KG’s passion for basketball is undeniable, I wish I can see more players like him in the league 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
‘’Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets ... any sound investment will eventually pay off.
Making it out at a young age is quite difficult. I started a side hustle at 17, saved up and made some good investments. l'm 28,live on my own and having a good life for myself. Big ups to you and everyone out there trying
@@chrisjohn7823 Sounds like plan, how do you put money to work?
@@muyiwamg8841 Yes it sure is. I put in money in investments and get profits. That 's how I make more money without working. This does not sound new to you right ?
Thanks for replying me, I've heard so many people talk about investment but none had said how to do it right.
Am hoping on you can explain more on how you make extra income from investments
KG=Grit.
Don't see many in the NBA today.
There will never be a more passionate player.
Most hardworking and selfless baller of all time
KG hasn’t aged a day
Immortalized and still humble. GREATNESS 👏
💚🍀 5 FOREVER!!
What a great ceremony to honor one of the best Celtics ever!
Man if KG's emotion (as the banner went up) didn't give me the chills. All heart KG!!
The Big Ticket 💪
#5
Congratulations Kevin Garnett(Big Ticket) You Deserve It, I Love You🏀🏀
Lots of love and respect for Kevin Garnett! ☘️
I'm canadian but kg got me to love basketball respect brother
#5 up there Forever.!
Thanks KG.
Damn 🥺🥺🥲🥲 I never liked the Celtics but DAMN this was Real. KG is one of the realest that EVER stepped on the court. Gave NO FUCKS about the opponent. All Heart. He gave his everything. And to see them give it back to him and squashing the beef with Ray……..
When I see another black man get honored like this , it’s beautiful to see.
KG a legend forever.
Nah what dawg stands for tha city is what makes him special. Salute to KG
Being from Minnesota and watching the Wolves played since the Pooh Richardson era...its an absolute embarrassment that KG had his first jersey retirement ceremony...and its as a Celtics. Mad props to the Celtics organization and its fan base!
Man he’s a beast, underrated legend that backed it up on the court, they don’t make ‘em like these legends no more
one of the best powerforwards to ever live. Dude is a bucket on midrange J's an athletic defensive minded and giving all of his heart on the court. 2000's Duncan vs. KG
the legend who got me love this game in the late 1990s. huge thanks🙏
I respect this guy
Amazing ceremony! Well deserved!
Man i was there and yelling KG!!! KG!!! good times man.
The Heart Of The Game Period!
soooo beautiful! 🥲 His passion has always been so real and it's so admirable!
I love this!!!!🔥🔥CELTICS!!!! One thing I never understood though, is the fact that people still have the nerve to "Boo" at events/ceremonies like these. Like damn bro, if you don't agree or don't like the occasion, be quiet! Don't ruin a great moment like this. Maybe it's just me. I don't know. No matter how great you are, you really can't please everyone. Shout out to KG, The Big Ticket!👏🏿👏🏿💯
There are 2 different kinds of Boo. There is a negative boo that calls somebody out...normal boo. Then there is the Bad Boy boo. It means something like MAMA THERE GOES THAT MAN...it's reserved for the fan favorites. It's a good boo, so to speak.
KG: ray?
Ray: KG…
KG: oh it’s good to see you big dog.
Ray: it’s good to see you.
KG: how are you?
Ray: trying to do better.
I'm crying
One of the best I loved his style of play he always went to the basket hard and had a nice jump shot
KG One of my favorite players and He is in my Top5 of center players. Straight outta highschool, and one of the most electrifying players in sports! Congratulations KG#5🍾🎊🎉🎈
His intensity is unmatched on both ends of the floor his passion for the game dunno if we will ever see this again gave it his all miss u kg ❤️
So emotional...it was my college days, my days were green all the way...Even though I'm thousand miles away in Taiwan but I can feel Kevin's heart, that year will never be forgotten. Love KG.
My all time hero KG. He was the michael jordan to me growing up. Always loved him and always will. What a dominating force he was when he was in the league. The intensity every game. And not to mention the fun of using him on the NBA live games. Congrats KG
This ceremony was AWESOME. Great to see the love & support from fans, teammates and management/ownership. KG is too cool. Wish he could have played for the Bulls...but oh well. Congrats KG!!!
Much love to kg
Well deserved brother 👏
This rules! ☘️
What they accomplished together was too great to let it be overshadowed by BS. Glad to see them in the same space.
Wow!!!! There will never be any other numbers left for these players to play the way Celtic Pride is. Goes to show you the mysticism that Boston fans are that shows pride to their team. Congrats to Kevin Garnett for his jersey retired. I remember watching him when he was in Chicago playing In high school from Farragut along with his high school teammate Ronnie Fields which I would love to see him be selected to have his dreams in the NBA but things didn't work out for him at the time. However as for Kevin look what he done to the NBA from high school player struggling to get into the big league from where he's now, Being an NBA champion, Minnesota, Boston and Brooklyn. Great good teams he played, but he put a stamp of appeal in Minnesota as the worst to dynamic team thx to the late great Flip Saunders. I'm sure he's watching in heaven as well as Kobe Bryant giving thx up above as partying thx too. Way to go, Well deserved.
Thanks Kevin Garnett, and of course Kevin McHale, Paul & Ray.... if they keep retiring numbers, the players will have to wear letters.... lol
a Great Basketball organization honoring a Great Basketball Player who gave his all to the game.
It was all about the competitive passion for the game, where KG is set apart. He was unforgiving of what ray allen did then and for a while, he wasn't budging, but oh man, when it comes full circle and you're truly ready to forgive. This hanging of KG's jersey wouldn't have been in full completion without Ray in it. Them three embracing did it for me, and I'm not a celtic fan. Kudos
Congrats to kg
I must have been the only one or did anyone else think he was going to end it with screaming "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!"
Wish they would've played together sooner in their careers. That hug at the end! Classic
That was a great moment in sports. To get over the pseudo betrayal and squash it on a beautiful night. Way the fuck to go KG! ray always classy showing up and putting respect in KGs name on his night.
In the middle of watching this and Brady announces he’s un-retiring. Oh boy…
Definitely did not wake up thinking I'd see Kevin Garnett cry today... or ever 11:56 wow
He cried when they won the chip in 08
the celtics are gonna use 3 digit numbers soon 😭
Greenville South Carolina Kevin Garnett
I wish the Celtics would put player names next to the number associated with them
Tommy is smiling down on KG
Hugging it out. It's good to see black men doing that.
Am really glad he patched things up with Ray Allen 😎👍🏾 now they can enjoy their retirement in peace #CELTICS# 123 UMBUTU 🏀🏀🏀 anyone who follows the 2007 / 08 season will know what UMBUTU means 😎👍🏾
No offense y'all but i was shock that kg didn't retire at minnesota
Laugh my ass of if he goes in hall of fame as timber wolf
Ray is the next
Naaaaaah,,, we good
Do the Celtics have any numbers left? I think they’ll have to move to 3 digit numbers😀😀😀!
When a team wins 17 championships they have legends the Celtics have plenty of legends in the rafters
KG have small Ukraine flag ❤️❤️😍😍
No wife present? Yipes, she was a true beauty too.
Where's their point guard Chris Paul???
Minnesota should retire his jersey too
Too bad Tatum couldn’t get this man a win today… rather ominous that this current group couldn’t close it out at home against a playoff caliber team with the OG big 3 in the house. Celtics almost had me fooled. But they’ll crumble in clutch time like always…
I like kg more in Minnesota than Boston. Find it weird Celtics retired his #. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t kg play 6 season only and 1 championship for them. Kg should’ve retired as a Timberwolves.
We’re retiring his number as a tribute for his time in Boston
The Timberwolves will do the same
Why not just raise his number only? That was weird
Why won't they raise a real jersey with big number at the back with names at least spectators know who owns that number.
If you know you know!
Bro the Celtics bout to lose jersey numbers
I have no respect for an NBA player to make fun of someone who have cancer
I hope the Timberwolves will retire his no. 21 next
Trash franchise ,,,, nobody cares what they do. Stop being so over reaching with things that don’t matter,,, your personal life needs that “hope” & “wish” more than his Jersey needing retirement. Geez
And da celtics lost
Luka owns the celtics and tatum lol
Watchu smoking
@@mannydaprofit2869 lmao dallas beat boston.
Says the team that just lost by 30
@@jermainerodgers 🤷🏽♂️ what’s your point?
Celtics running out of numbers
RAsta Government
he does not deserve, i think Timberwolves should retire his jersey. The guy won just one championship. he did not do that much...
His jersey retirement is such a disrespect to all the real Celtics legends. He is now up there with Bird, Russell, Cousy, Havlicek.. WHAT A JOKE!!
How? Kg turned a franchise around not only him the big 3 Allen KG and pierce all Celtics legends and they will be in the rafters together one day
booo@you
Nobody cares
Your name is Catanzaro… you’re a nobody already.
Paul pierce does not look well. He needs to slow down his retirement lifestyle man, dude looks like he just smokes blunts and drinks too much. Nothing wrong with a bit of all that but it seems like he been doing a LOT of all that.
