Looking back on Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett’s time at Farragut Academy

August 17, 2024 by Celtics Wire

We all know how The Big Ticket’s tenure with the Boston Celtics went. Kevin Garnett linked with fellow future Hall of Famers Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to win a title in 2008 and come close several times afterward.

Many Celtics fans may also recall his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves before he joined Boston’s roster. But what about the prep-to-pro phenom that most were unsure would make it at the NBA level due a frame and skill set that at the time were unique? On a recent episode of the Showtime “KG Certified” podcast, Garnett joins his former head coach from Farragut Academy, Wolf Nelson, and former teammate Ronnie Fields.

If you want some insight into a lesser-known era of the KG experience before he cut his teeth as the next big thing in the NBA, this is the video for you.
