NATIONAL BESTSELLER A unique, unfiltered memoir from the NBA
champion and fifteen-time all-star ahead of his induction into the
Hall of Fame.Kevin Garnett was one of the most dominant players the
game of basketball has ever seen. He was also one of its most
outspoken. Over the course of his illustrious twenty-one-year NBA
career, he elevated trash talk to an art form and never shied away
from sharing his thoughts on controversial subjects. In KG A to Z,
published ahead of Garnett's induction into the Basketball Hall of
Fame, he looks back on his life and career with the same raw
candor. Garnett describes the adversity he faced growing up in
South Carolina before ultimately relocating to Chicago, where he
became one of the top prospects in the nation. He details his
headline-making decision to skip college and become the first
player in two decades to enter the draft directly from high school,
starting a trend that would be followed by future superstars like
Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. He shares stories of playing with and
against Bryant, James, Michael Jordan, and other NBA greats, and he
chronicles his professional ups and downs, including winning a
championship with the Boston Celtics. He also speaks his mind on a
range of topics beyond basketball, such as fame, family, racism,
spirituality, and music. Garnett's draft decision wasn't the only
way he'd forever change the game. His ability to play on the
perimeter as a big man foreshadowed the winning strategy now
universally adopted by the league. He applies this same innovative
spirit here, organizing the contents alphabetically as an
encyclopedia. If you thought Kevin Garnett was exciting, inspiring,
and unfiltered on the court, just wait until you read what he has
to say in these pages.
