(Kevin) Garnett, who still harbors disappointment in the Timberwolves organization and how his tenure ended, expressed gratitude for his time with (Kevin) McHale.

“Kevin hasn’t been my coach for a long time but he’s taught me a lot,” Garnett said. “So I see the similarities and I see some things that I remember or is refreshing to my mind sometimes when I am watching his teams play. The disadvantage is he’s taught me everything that I know. Other than the competition, it’s always good to see people you’ve worked with still in the game.

“I think Kevin’s been one of the best teachers I’ve ever been around. And he has a lot to give to the game and he loves basketball that much and it’s good to see he’s still around.”
