CHICAGO -- Kevin Garnett engenders the same passionate feelings off a basketball court that he does when he plays on one. That much is clear as the 39-year old future Hall of Famer gets set to play possibly the final game of his career in the United Center on Saturday as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. When you ask former teammates and opponents about the their memories of playing either with or against Garnett, the passion is noticeable quickly.
"Kevin Garnett was the best teammate I ever had," Fred Hoiberg, Bulls head coach and a former teammate of Garnett in Minnesota, said recently.
