option for a lot of these kids and make it more boxed in

KG: I talked to Russ a couple times about personal s--t—real recognize real—but I respect his talent. I respect his appetite. We have a similar
background. We have a similar path, if you will. I played with guys Adam Clendening Authentic Jersey like Steph [Marbury] when we were super best friends, and he left, and
that left an immediate mark and impacted me in a certain way that I
looked at teammates different after that. The ones that stuck—Malik
[Sealy], Sam Mitchell, Joe Smith, Gary Trent, Trenton Hassell, Troy
Hudson—those guys became real friends with me after that because of that
situation.

So I totally understood it when he was going through the KD saga and
all that and how both of them moved on—and are starting to make
interesting basketball when it comes to the West and have us all
watching with open eyes.

And as talk of the Adam Graves Authentic Jersey one-and-done rule in the NBA possibly being reversed makes headlines,
Garnett chimed in on that topic. As a former preps-to-pros phenom
himself back in 1995, he envisions the rule changing -- but not how some
people think it will:

Bleacher Report: There's been a lot of talk lately of the
one-and-done rule being altered. You were one of the first to jump from
high school. Do you see the eligibility rules being changed again?

Kevin Garnett: No, Brady Skjei Authentic Jersey I don't see the rule changing. And if I do see the rule changing, the
rule is going to be changed not for the betterment of college [players].
I think they would try to get the kids to stay a little longer. I think
kids leaving early out of high school hurts the college game. You can
do it in tennis; you can do it any other sport, leave early, but
basketball [is] the most impactful game, the most recognizable game—so I
understand the control or the ability to try and control it. Players
are going to find ways to get through it, loop[hole] Pirri Authentic
Jerseybad for business, but they're making money on all these young
guys. No one's talking about Brandon Pirri Authentic Jersey that part of it. No one wants to speak about the—I don't want to call
it bullying, but it is a bit of a monopoly when you set the structure up
that you got to take a certain path.

I think they're going to try to strangle the overseas option for a
lot of these kids and make it more boxed in, if you will, where you
either got to go to J.C. or college or something or sit out. And I think
these players are going to look at these options and these solutions,
and they're going to take some of them. Some are going to go to college,
which is always a good thing, but I think growing up and going overseas
too—that's a whole other experience.
