LeBron James se despide de Kevin Garnett; "Competir contra tí lo ha significado todo"

I mean where do I start. First watching you play at the Solon Cage Classic in Ohio with Team Michigan when u were in HS, I believe I was 10 years old and I was like dang this dude nice!! Then a lil time passed and u were drafted straight out of HS to the pros so I felt like man whoever get him is a lucky team. And I surely wasn't wrong! The KID nickname was fly, swaged out and made a 10 year old kid from Akron believe he could run with the big boys himself! Fast forward 8 years later that kid you inspired entered the draft fresh out of HS as well. Thank you!! Competing vs you in whatever uniform u were in at the time meant the world to me because of two distinctive trait u had. Passion and commitment to just compete every single possession. U showed me what it took and we never played on the same team(All-Star games is different). Thank you! Congratulations to The Big Ticket on a helluva career! HOF is your next stop to cap it all off, the cherry on top!! 1 Love

LeBron James y Kevin Garnett han sido rivales durante los últimos 13 años, y hemos tenido la oportunidad de verles enfrentarse en varias ocasiones durante los Playoffs durante la etapa de KG en Boston.

A pesar de que su rivalidad llegaba a las faltas duras, las provocaciones y todo lo inimaginable, ambos sienten un gran respeto mutuo, que se ha visto materializado con la despedida que le ha brindado la estrella de los Cavaliers con motivo del anuncio de su retirada, como demuestra este post que ha publicado King James a través de su cuenta personal de Instagram, en el que recuerda a través de casi 300 palabras que competir contra él "ha significado todo para mí".
