In the last few hours, Kevin Garnett has been in the news for several statements he has made. The NBA legend and Boston Celtics champion in 2008 first said that Giannis Antetokounmpo was not even a Top 3 player in the Eastern Conference, and then took a jab at all the future stars in the league.
According to Garnett, none of Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards, and company could have succeeded in the NBA 20 years ago. The reason? Now they are allowed to miss too many shots and not think too much about efficiency, something that did not happen before, according to his own words.
"To be honest with you, I don't think anyone from this generation could have played like they did 20 years ago. Twenty years ago, you couldn't take a step-back three-pointer. Do you hear what I'm saying? And if you did, it had to go in. Do you know why? Because we had efficiency in the old days, and it was tough," Garnett explained.

"It was too physical, you know what? The league had to abandon that so that the flow of movement could make the scoring go up, which is why we like sitting here and watching a sort of rat race of fast-paced game right now," Kevin Garnett concluded.
