Kobe Bryant’s legendary career has provided a wealth of anecdotes that rarely leave fans indifferent. Like its temperament, stories about the Black Mamba arouse many emotions, and above all amazement, as Kevin Garnett explained so well.
Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett have both spent a large part of their lives on the NBA floor. Drafted directly from high school, the two Hall of Famers then often found themselves face to face during their years in the league. Accustomed to always going blow for blow and known for their very similar characters, the two legends have logically become great rivals.
Notorious trash-talkers, lovers of winning and blessed with rare basketball talent, many things united KG and the Black Mamba. And as if the comparison was not already taken to its extreme, the former Timberwolves then had to join the Lakers’ historically enemy franchise, the Celtics. From then on, the rivalry entered another dimension between The Big Ticket and the LA icon.
Kobe Bryant, the most shocking player according to Kevin Garnett?
Younger fans may not remember Boston’s title victory over the Purple & Gold in 2008, nor Kobe’s revenge in the Finals the following year. Still, this duel will remain in the pantheon.

He was still that same leader, that same champion at heart. He wanted to win so badly. And then, also, let’s stay realistic. Kobe saw things the same way I did. He didn’t give any gifts. He was wild when he played. I told Jayson Tatum, I said, “Dude, your favorite player, he’s the biggest bastard I’ve probably ever met in my life.” He didn’t care. »
And when we were in this state, we knew what could happen. And I loved him for that. I miss Kobe every day. I look up and continue to celebrate him as if he were still alive.

Regardless, these two legends blessed basketball fans with their presence for two decades, and it wouldn’t be surprising to hear this kind of juicy anecdote again in the future.
Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett are two Hall of Famers. But if the NBA decided to create its pantheon of the most verbally intimidating players, these two would undoubtedly be inducted, and the Black Mamba might even be first on the list.
