In a career that has amassed this legendary individual with numerous accolades including an NBA MVP award, an NBA Championship, and over $300-million in career earnings, Kevin Garnett<\/strong> has easily transcended his circumstances to become an NBA icon.

It’s also beneficial when an up-and-coming forward that displayed one-of-a-kind talent decided to sport this model during games, as Kevin Garnett did exactly that back in the ’90s.<\/p>\nAir Jordan 11 “Concord”<\/h2>\n
