funny. when you add up the OVERALL ability of each individual. the 08-2010 Celtics were just plain and simple, better than any warriors team in history. idc what size of margin it is. Celtics are better. I would bet any amount that each and everyone of those warriors would've never been hall of famers If they were drafted on their own individual teams . ray, pierce, kg especually.... all hall of famers if retire in 07 on their own teams. add it to Tony Allen maybe the best perimeter defender ever? and rajon rondo who eventually would've probably carved out a hof career maybe not 1st ballot. kd obviously was 1st ballot already. iggy would've eventually made hof but not 1st ballot. curry wasn't far from exiting the league due to his ankle problems. let's face it guys like klay don't get recognition in the league he probably wouldn't have been given the proper chance(maybe only because his dad was the #1 pick and he won miltiple rings with the lakers)
@@gabrielfelix1759😅 it’s been
This is better then ESPN
Flex _24 wayyy better
Flex _24 💯
Rose Gold Yeah I know LESPN 3-6 mafia
Than*
ESPN is like the CNN of sports reporting! All these player podcasts are MUCH BETTER and insightful!
Kobe and kg always had the chemistry even during the allstar games back in the day
That’s why he was pissed af when gasol said KG was done after game 1 he knew what was coming after that
Daniel Barwatt finals the second time
I cant imagine KG, Pierce, and Allen not being together.
What year did they play together on the All Star game ?
@Jaleel Og think you're discrediting Pau. I wouldn't have swapped him for KG
Interviews are so much more entertaining when people are allowed to be themselves. This shit was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
That's the absolute truth
Im forreal on a kick for sports podcasts they are more authentic
KG’s Kendrick Perkins impression got me in tears rn😂
Boston K.O. 🤣🤣 💯
Boston K.O. I'm trying to tell you 😂😂😂😭😭
Yeah, Especially since I’m from Beaumont lol. I also graduated with Stephen Jackson’s daughter too
Tx 409 🤘🏾
Boston K.O. He said he head butted him😂😂😂
Can ya'll get KG on again, I'll pay for this type of content. Dude's got the best stories.
That's a fact
He funny as hell
KG knew how special Rondo was, big ups to him
Any dude who can deal with Perkins, Garnett, Pierce and Allen deserves that respect
Almost a month now and saying "Kobe is dead." Still dont feel like it's a reality. RIP.
Koibito The Scrublord same doesn’t feel right , I always been a Bron fan but always have Kobe respect ..
I’m still waiting for the it’s fake news.
I don't even like watching his videos anymore...yet. I'm not ready.
For real
It's sad but it's life guys we all will die one day and That's ok.
I think Kobe didn't answer because although he WANTED to play with his boy KG, He had already played with one transcendent player at the beginning of his career and people took shots at his legacy for it. Teaming up with KG wouldn't have let him show the world that he could play his way on a team built around solely him and win the chip. It worked out for the best as he was able to put the "you had shaq!" chatter to rest. I doubt he wanted to have to hear "You had Shaq & KG!!!" They gave us great ball as opponents. RIP
orrr he just was busy
@@TheIcemanthomas womp womp wommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmp
TBNV makes sense
TBNV yeah i think you are spot on with this. I don’t think he ever gets enough credit for the last two he won.
TBNV
People still take shots at his legacy by saying he had Pau Gasol.
greatest kendrick perkins impression ever 11:38
EVER!
Hahaha
When he talked about getting up at 4:30 Because someone in the east coast was already an hour into their workout, I gained so much more respect for KG. That type of work ethic is a lost art.
I get what he means but part of me thinks he’s purposefully ignoring how time zones work.
@@lijojohn7168 🤣 seriously though lol
Kobe & Gasol was special. They played off each other in a very unique way for the league at the time....but.....Kobe & Garnett would've been another kind of beast. Especially on the defensive end.
That makes sense now for the story about Phoenix. I had always heard they had a shot at him but I get why he didn't want to go now. That was super cool of Nash to give him that info though...
Nash must've known how bad his pitch was though. Like, that poor man, along with all kinds of players, deserve a ring for their troubles.
Came for the Kobe clip and stayed for the whole show
The little African kid 😂😂😂
"NAH..IM FROM DETROIT..."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
That Yao story was hilarious lol lol
"what am i doing? what am i doing??' lol I'm dead.
Respect to KG tho.
😂
Love how Matt and jack don’t think they’d be included in the trade to get kg lol
Treycoyne12 that’s what I was saying. at least one of them would’ve been packaged in a trade 😂😂
🤫😂
Truth. They laughing like they was untouchable.. they were not. Hahaha
They wouldn't have. J-Rich, Al, and some other shit probably would have got it done. Baron, Jack, Barnes, Pietrus, Ticket. That's a good starting 5.
In those days Stax was a star. You'd need to keep him around. Matt, not so much but he was a good defender and held his own.
KG: “Rajune” 😂😂
That's the one😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
5:27😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
11:39 that kendrick perkins impersonation was on point LMAO
-6_elvis_i6_evils_6- 😂😂😂
Forget the offense, just imagine the defense with Kobe and KG anchoring both levels and switching/double teaming off of their incredible instincts on that end (watching KG defensive highlights is ridiculous).
Would be like poetry in motion
KG and kobe damn that wouldve been nasty
They should have teamed up in 1999. Trade Shaq, I don't care. Garnett was past his absolute prime in 2007.
@@thsu8 You're smoking shit. Not crack, but shit. You would've been shot had you traded a prime Shaq for a young Garnett
@@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372 You understand chemistry, right? Garnett's selflessness would have taken a back seat to Kobe's alpha. KG's relentless intensity also meshes perfectly with Kobe's mamba mentality. Mutual respect. Perfect chemistry. No butting heads and ego clashes. 7 rings together.
@@thsu8 Hmmm, a three peat and 4 Finals appearances seems like amazing chemistry to me. And you're making your claim that's relying heavily on hindsight. So for the final time, you would've been shot trading a prime Shaq for (back then) first time All-NBA player and that's that
@@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372 Ok, so you've never played organized basketball and you don't understand chemistry.
As a Lakers fan, KG will *ALWAYS* be my favorite PF.
Paul Gasol?
@@alikassa5437 who tf is PAUL?
The way Kevin Garnett narrates his stories makes me so happy.
He’s like a tall version of DMX
First thing came to my mind lmao
Hahah hit the nail on the head
Plus the Height
Minus the Crack
@@OlliWitta3 😭😭😭😭😭😭
RIP
when I listen to KG I change his voice in my head to those old school itsreal85 KG LOL
Doc bruh!!!! ME TOOOOO!!!🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
I knew KG was nuts and entertaining, but damn. He can tell stories all day. He’s so much more comfortable from the Area 21 days.
KG And Kobe Bryant had a bond that speaks larger than words
KG is a great storyteller! Could listen to dude for hours
He is equivalent to Mark Twain.
kobe and kg would have been great together
I love Kg an appreciate his legacy, he understood the seriousness an had that drive
I really appreciate what you guys r doing on this show. As a sports fan in general love what u guys r doing. Much love
KG giving shoutout to Yao!!
kg a real one. he respects the greats
Yao used to kill him that’s why he better lol
@@truballa103 stop it
@back to Nature he is lmao
When is the timeline
KG and Kobe means a 3peat from 2008-2010 and probably beating the Heat in 2011.
I watch all your shows, KG is by far my favorite guest. He expressing himself so well. When he starts to dance talking about Danny finessing him joking around😭😭 so funny
They gotta get Russell Westbrook on this
🏀*#💯!*🚀!*
For what? He’s ass.
@@shudigg 🤔
Shudigg stfu
They gotta get drose on here
The Lakers “2K,” would’ve been AWESOME! Two elite TWO WAY players that would LOCK DOWN top players!
I could listen to KG’s stories all day. Great stuff
This show is something special man!!
Love hearing the stories man keep them coming
KG telling a story like a stand up comedian 🤣
Somewhere Stephen A. Smith is saying to himself "Damm, Why Don't They Talk With & To Me Like That!"😂
They do, but not on ESPN
Probably cuz they know Stephen A. and ESPN will twist their words into a narrative. This is real.
They don't wanna get Gilbert Arenas'd
I already knew this 😂 I remember putting him on the Lakers on 2k and dawg I also thought we were gonna get Chris Paul but y’all know how that played out 🙄
Kobe slapped David stern in heaven for that
Jabrony take my like 😂
Disgusting that they allowed boogie to sign with Golden state
Kobe Bryant And Kevin Garnett As a Duo For the Lakers omg that would had been lit straight fire flames All the Smoke best all time Great show ever Jackson and Barnes keep the good work up for real 💯
Watched the backend of their careers but still
Enjoy this shit, hopefully this generation can have podcasts like this. Sharing stories from Curry, Russ, Dame, KD etc
Very nice photo of the Chicago skyline and Willis Building as the backdrop. ☺
KG is such a fun interview and storyteller.
Thanks y'all
I’m a go ahead and say what all the real ones finally realizing about Matt since Matt & Kobe retired and Kobe died. When you die you want a real one like Matt keeping it real for your memory. ✊🏿
Hated Matt Barnes when he played but he's intelligent both intellectually and street smart. Amazing.
i never forget the alley opp KG threw to Kobe in the all star game. Instant classic! imagine had they teamed up.
This is the best episode of the podcast BY FAR!!!
synergy is everything....great advice KG!
Best imitation of BEAUMONT's FINEST
KENDRICK PERKINS
LMAO
tk my life is like a movie
Sheesh! If he would’ve hooked up with Kobe!!! That would’ve been insane!
well Gasol did it almost perfect
Waaben21 did you just compare Gasoline to KG!?!
@@TrestanSKYWALKR no he's just saying gasol is a better fit for kobe
AnotherSKYWALKR don’t be obtuse
AnotherSKYWALKR Gasol is a better fit cause he ain’t a Alpha
I love this show, they keeps it real 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bruh! KG stories is FIRE! Out of the ppl y'all had on here.. He's the only 1 I've watched from beginning to end bro 💯
KG and Kobe play together and Kobe has 6 rings for sure since there would be no big 3 in Boston.
The Lakers we’re already really good defensively around 2008-2010. Add KG and it’s an ez 3 peat.
nah man, Kobe would have 7 at least. KG is much better than Pao.
Jose Perales Kobe probably thought KG was too good to team up with. Pau was a really good player but he wasn’t an MVP caliber guy. Bean probably thought winning with Ticket would’ve been viewed similarly to winning with Shaq and he couldn’t have that. He needed to be the unquestioned man to solidify his legacy.
Gregory Hayes in 2011 they lost coach Phil Jackson and Kobe was injured so nah they wouldn’t get 7. Kobe never had good results without Phil sad to say. Need a good coach to do well in the league
@@supremeleem9488 I think they would have still won 3 together. Remember kobe lost in 2008 against the celtics. Had they had KG, Celtics wouldn't even have gotten that far. It could have been a 3peat rather than back to back.
KOBE AND KG ON THE SAME TEAM🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 TOO MUCH HEART PASSION INTENSITY EASY 8 RINGS REST UP KOBE💯💯💯KEEP PUSHING KG💯💯💯💯💯💯89 BABY🔥💯👋
Kg is as real as it gets good interview shout out to all the smoke.!!
Ayo Ticket thanks coming onto the show. The colorful language not allowed on cable television brings authenticity comfortably and free flowing conversation. This is the best sports talk show.
If K.G. had joined Kobe, he'd have 5 rings. RIP Black Mamba, Gianna, & the other 7 people who perished in the helicopter crash, you will never be forgotten 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Right?? Damn shame they didn’t get together!! Would have been titles for days!! They would have picked up Pau anyway! That roster would have been ridiculous!!
God I love hearing guys like kg talk. I be on the edge of my seat. Because it feel like going back in time with all the launch table basketball talks but getting the inside scoop.
damn I'm lucky to been born in the 80s & fall n luv wit this game in the 90s
great interview KG is awesome and always keeps it real
KG is so much better as a guest and sidekick rather than as a host. He's funny, engaging, insightful, and entertaining as a guest or sidekick. I really enjoyed this episode with KG.
Kobe and KG.. Damn, cant even imagine.
They stretch the floor and would be an absolute matchup nightmare on elm street
This is great I like how KG got that work out drive that Kobe would do to at 4 in the morning ;)!!
In it help in his performance on the floor!!
Man KG came thru wit tha city of God reference major respect for that that movie so classic nd underrated
Dmx lol I always looked at kg like that the energy and confidence he in my top 5 of all time Yea I said it lol we got the same bday damit
Uh, no. Not top 5
My boy been talking to the ground since the video started 😂😂😂😂 my boy KG
It's good to see a great showing respect to how dominant Yao was back in the day.
Great job with this channel, Newmedia!!
KG love you bro! But Kobe never flinched. And I'm a Celtics fan. R.I.P. Kobe and GiGi and everyone involved in that horrific tragedy.
Stephen jackson when talking about paul pierce " best footwork ever"..... did you forget about kobes footwork?
Jay G you mean Jordans footwork
T Berg Kobe had a lil better footwork tbh
@@thumpmasterTRE its been stated kobe had the best footwork in the game even better then jordans.
Well even Kobe said about Pierce that his footwork was the best he ever played against. Soooo it's not that much of a stretch. I think Stack was just trying to give that man the credits he deserves, he knows and we all know Kobe was better
Best foot work and most missed shots
Who would have thought all the smoke would blow up like this , love this show
Loved watching those Celtic teams still my fav group of players ever
Imagine t Mac, Chris Paul and Garnett play along with Kobe... omg 😯
Nocturne.9 .Chopin that would have been a super stacked team no doubt!
Dream team...they would've won at least 70 games AND the title....at least 4 straight
Believe it or not, KG and Kobe were in my NBA LIVE 08 lineup and they won 3 chips.
Best show yet! Right behind the love one ♥️
KG is such an entertaining story teller man he can make you crack up while just being dead serious lol
Kobe respects dawgs‼️
That duo would’ve been so tuff ‼️‼️
The love they showed Yao is awesome, folks sleep on his shot, one of the best shooters as a big man.
One of the best interviews
Kobe and kg would’ve been the ultimate legacy. Defensively great at their positions. Offensively can go off at any time, and selfless
(Kobe was selfless when he trusted his teammates to get it done) similar to him and Pau, Garnett is a different animal tho
So true Kobe did what he had to do to win he is and was never a selfish player he rewarded hard work like you said pau I say fisher Horry fox all players he trusted and worked real well with and they worked like he did people who say he was selfish just hate his greatness and not hurt their guy convo for best ever Kobe the 🐐
I saw KG & Kobe play in an All-star game together for the West, before KG went to Boston to form their Big 3; I said if they were to put these two together, it would've been a wrap....
Hearing what goes on inside the NBA beyond the PC commentary these stars usually give is dope.
This is a real ass show! Keep it up!
Netflix: Are you still watching? Us: @9:30
Nash & Stat were like the 2nd coming of Stockton and Malone
I do wonder what nash & KG would have been like if KG decided to come to Phoenix
Damn, this was an awesome interview.
You guys are killing it
9:28 pause chief😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Bruh 🤣 saw your comment as it happened 💀💀
I know Kobe is no longer with us and we couldn’t get his side of the story but without pressing Garnett ya should have asked why he wasn’t able to get into contact with Kobe. I find it kind of confusing that Garnett would have a hard time reaching out to Kobe especially since, one they were very good friends and two like Garnett mentioned they had friends I.e Tyrone Lue who was in constant contact with Kobe. Also add to the fact that at that time Kobe was demanding that the Lakers do something about the roster..
Kobe is not the type to team up with another superstar. He rather go up against Garnett. Plus the narrative would of been Kobe needed Shaq, and then KG, to win titles
he wanted to do it without another superstar after the Shaq years. the man averaged 30 7 and 5 in the playoffs and people were saying he was carried so he had to show that he could do it without a crazy team. and of course he did #rip #goat
He got Pau
@@LNOWLS86 Yeah right. So lamar odom and pau gasol were some no-names? LMAO. all due espect to Kobe, but he wanted to win. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind teaming up with anybody that he feels will help him win. BUT...Whatever reason why he did not connect with KG at that time, we will never know. Don't assume that it was some generic sport hero story that " hE dOEsNt wAnT tO bE wiTH aNoTHeR sUperStar ". You just made that shit up and its corny.
akattom garent is better than pau and lamar combined. and garnet is kobes rival out of west. he is not lebron james who team up with rivals like wade and bosh lmfao
Born in 86 started really following the NBA in '96...I grew up in the best era of basketball
Yooooo !! KG & KOBE I ain’t never think of that one that would’ve been crazyy
Kevin Garnett the reason Kendrick Perkins been trash his whole career 😭 took all his confidence
Nah, he made perk better. Perk would have no ring either
And when perk went down in 2010 finals celtics lost cuz we had nobody for bynum
@@lawlor2925 eggzackly
...shid, he was right when he was wit that boston sqwad tho...
What??? He's literally the reason Perk was able to stay in the league AND GET PAID AT THAT!!! I'm a Celtics supporter so I seen first hand how ass Perk was when peered with Al Jefferson. Perk's my dude but come on now.
This is a different KG that I’m used to seeing getting roasted by Sir Charles.
Former players from this era make the best analyst it’s always 100
This was legendary for me 2k I played with one team every one had a team n no one was switching
Kevin Garnett is literally DMX’s more successful younger brother
DMX was successful but he fell of because of his drug addiction
@@MakaveliDior never said he wasn’t successful
“What are your intentions with my daughter?”
Me: 9:29
Haha
😭😭😭😭
Lovin this!
