Here’s an interesting story for you. During this year’s preseason, Kevin Garnett was talking about his life after basketball. Saying that he probably won’t retire after this season after rumours said that he would. Then there were rumours about KG going straight into coaching.
But now. According to Yahoo! Sports, Kevin Garnett is now interested in owning a franchise. And he would love to own the team that drafted him, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Minnesota Timberwolves’ all-time leading scorer has his eye on an even higher position with his former NBA franchise.
Garnett told Yahoo Sports he wants to one day own the Timberwolves.
“I want to buy the Timberwolves. Put a group together and perhaps some day try to buy the team. That’s what I want,”
Nets general manager Billy King said he wouldn’t be surprised if Garnett were to buy the Timberwolves.
“He would be one of the best owners in the NBA because he understands what the players need and he understands what it takes to be successful in the NBA,” King told Yahoo Sports.
“There are so many things that I see that I can provide to younger players,” Garnett said. “I gravitate to the guys that really, really work hard. I’m able to show them things. Help their games. To see the progress is huge.”
This would be great if an NBA player could own a team. That would be groundbreaking. Imagine a league with Ex-NBA players being owners.
This salary cap stuff wouldn’t be a problem because the owners would know what the players would be going through.
Kevin Garnett. If you want to own the T’Wolves, by all means. Pull the trigger.
