Celtics coach Doc Rivers spoke highly back then about KG’s move to Boston saying:
“I’ve often said about him, he’s the greatest superstar role player ever. He was a superstar, but he played his role for the team anyway, somehow. I don’t know how he did that, but he did it. He changed the culture of the Celtics franchise. He really did. We needed a guy like that to come to the franchise, and he did that and it’s still there. It hasn’t left since. That was all Garnett.”

He has collected a staggering total of $334.3 million in player salary, which is the highest. Kobe Bryant amassed $323 million in earnings. As of 2024, Kevin Garnett has an estimated net worth of $130 million.
KG debuted in NBA out of high school in 1995 signing a 3-year, $5.4 million rookie contract. The Wolves swiftly tied him up to a staggering $126 million extension during the 1997-98 season.
His highest-paid season came during his MVP season in 2004, where he cashed in $28 million from the Timberwolves. He moved to Celtics when they gifted Kevin Garnett a $51.3 million extension in 2007 and delivered a title.

In the 2010–11 NBA season, Garnett injured his right knee after he tried to dunk. He also missed 13 straight games because of a posterior muscle strain in his right knee in 2009.
His injuries affected his averages, as he was traded to the Nets after a stellar run of performances at Boston.
During his first year in NBA, Garnett changed between the latest Flight and Uptempo models, even wearing Air Jordans. He debuted the first Air Garnett at the ’98 All-Star Game, becoming just the 10th Nike player to have his signature shoe. The Air Garnett 3 would be his most famous pair.
Garnett’s run with Adidas was not as per expectations, as he was outperformed by Tim Duncan. He moved to his fourth brand, becoming the first All-Star player to sign with Chinese brand Anta.
