Celtics announce retirement of Kevin Garnett's #5 in '20-'21 season
The Boston Celtics have announced a long overdue honor for Kevin Garnett. During the 2020-2021 season, his #5 will be raised to the rafters in TD Garden.
There's been a little bit of blowback on Twitter this evening, but KG's value to the C's for the 6 years he played in the greatest city in America cannot be overstated. Without him, the Celtics don't win the 2008 NBA Finals, and I never get to have 'anything is possible!!!!!!!' as my text tone in college.Forever chills when Kevin Garnett's involved. #Celtics pic.twitter.com/J2qgdvhDTT— Adam Kaufman (@AdamMKaufman) February 14, 2020
Congrats, KG. Can't wait to make the trip to TD Garden the day your number reaches new heights.
