Former Boston Celtics forward and NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett has joined BetMGM as a brand ambassador, the company announced Thursday. He will be featured in “marketing campaigns, BetMGM promotions, social media content and fan events,” according to the company. The former MVP played six seasons in Boston after he was acquired by the franchise in July 2007. He won a title with the team the next season.
Garnett is not new to the betting landscape, establishing a media startup called Gaming Society to cover sports gambling in June. He also played a feature role in the Adam Sandler film “Uncut Gems,” a betting-centered film that came out in 2019.
“I’m thrilled to be working with BetMGM to share their insights with my fans,” Garnett said. “It’s a natural fit for both myself and BetMGM given our mutual desire to stay on top of the ever-changing sports business landscape.”
