The only thing better for #Celtics fans than having KG being honored today, is having Ray Allen in the building along with many of KG’s other teammates for his jersey retirement. – 3:58 PM

The first of many standing ovations for Kevin Garnett today during the first timeout – one that gets even louder once Garnett stands up and recognizes the crowd.
Followed by another big ovation when Ray Allen was shown on the jumbotron, sitting with Kendrick Perkins. – 3:55 PM

After Knicks-Nets went down to the final buzzer, excited for Celtics-Mavs, which is now underway on Kevin Garnett’s jersey retirement day. And Luka Doncic hits a 3-pointer in front of Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce, who are sitting together courtside. – 3:47 PM

Great story from Danny Ainge about the time KG got a little bossy with the coaches: “(Tom) Thibodeau was finished and it was at the end of what the coaches had planned, and KG said, no, no. We’re not ready for that. We have to go through that more. We need more reps.” – 3:38 PM

Kevin Garnett is the greatest player — BY FAR — in Timberwolves history.
On the day the Celtics raise his No. 5 to the rafters in Boston, we offer an explanation for why KG’s No. 21 isn’t hanging in Minnesota.

Wish I was there for @KevinGarnett5KG jersey retirement in Boston. Was an honor to cover a star who played every game as if it was his last one. Super competitive star who cared much more about winning and defense than scoring. KG is the engine behind the 2008 #Celtics title. pic.twitter.com/0HQ6RHCSaP – 1:18 PM

For years, I’ve viewed NBA greatness from the prism of how they fared in 5 categories – scoring, rebounding, defense, passing, and making teammates better. KG was the best five-tool talent I’ve ever seen, which I wrote about a couple years ago. yahoo.com/now/kevin-garn… – 12:56 PM
