His No. 5 jersey will be retired in Boston later this season, a legacy-cementing achievement for one of the greatest power forwards to ever do it. Wolves fans won’t ever let him go. There was bad blood with Wolves owner Glen Taylor and tragedy when Flip Saunders passed away, but through all of the struggles that this franchise has endured, Garnett remains a shining beacon to their long-suffering fans. He could be demanding and biting behind the scenes, but that was the way for him to turn an unserious franchise into a team that commanded respect. And while so many players and coaches and executives came and went without paying this team, or this city, much mind, Garnett would never allow Minnesotans to feel inferior. “I left my spirit and my soul in there,” Garnett said then. “You can’t ever replace that. You feel me? That will always be, forever, as long as they have the Timberwolves in Minnesota.”
