The champagne has yet to pop for the Farragut Academy High School graduate. Kevin Garnett, formally of the Minnesota Timberwolves, moved to Boston over the off season so he could win a title. Do I think he’s on the verge of doing it? Yes. He is on the verge of joining the Boston sports scene, which includes a myriad of champions, including the QB from Michigan and his “Brady Bunch” and Manny Ramirez and the Boston Red Sox. Let’s take a look at the city that he moved away from. The Minnesota Wild have yet to bring home a Stanley Cup, the Vikings are the loliest team in the NFL (under their current had coach Brad Childress), and the Twins haven’t won anything since the 1987 and 1991 World Series. Even though Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce were denied a chance to pop the champagne last night, due to a clearly desperate LA team, I think Garnett’s day in the spotlight is coming. It will clearly show Mr. Taylor he made the wrong move. You are stuck in a rut Minneapolis/St. Paul. Get used to it. When you make bad choices and all you can do every year is win the NBA lottery that’s what you get. I am not by any means bashing the Minnesota sports scene, but I do think that if they had better athletes and coaching styles, players that stay out of trouble and stay committed to that city, the upper Midwest might have something to cheer about instead of always hearing about Bean Town or LA.
