When Kevin Garnett was traded to the Celtics in 2007, he recalls a conversation he had with Kobe Bryant when the Lakers star first learned that Garnett had tried to contact him over the summer.
Garnett, in a colorful and highly worthwhile interview with GQ’s Michael Pina, described both sides of his conversation with Bryant, who was devastated to learn that he missed Garnett’s messages while touring China with Nike.
“‘YO, MAN, YOU WAS TRYING TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ME?’” Garnett recalled Bryant saying, per GQ (the yelling, of course, was Bryant).
