Kevin Garnett Interview
Did you tape that hoodie?
Kevin Garnett: I did not [laughs]. I repeat I do not tape my hoodie.
Like ever?
Kevin Garnett: Ever. That’s not even cool. Cool points is figuring out how to keep it right there. When you cool like that, it just stays like that.
The vibe on Area 21 is very casual. It’s really just a bunch of guys getting together to talk ball. How much of that was your idea?
Kevin Garnett: I think, like any idea, you have to go into it thinking how you want to do it. When the concept was first brought to me, I didn’t think I was made for television because of my personality.
After that, it was more about figuring out a concept that fit towards the mold of what I would like. My personal space is very intimate. It’s my friends, my personal circle, and watching basketball games is one of my favorite things to do with them.
It’s a great bonding tool. When we were coming up with the concept with Turner, I sat there and started to see myself in that space. It started to make sense to me, and we put a dope plan together.
Personality
Why did you think your personality wouldn’t be made for television?
Kevin Garnett: I have walls and layers like everyone. When I let you in, when I’m comfortable, it’s a process.
But I like to think that, I’m a country boy, so I’m hospitable, and I think I can carry a conversation. Though I thought the persona and me being private wouldn’t fit. But it’s worked.
I think, when considering the media, and how they want all the bits and insights, I just figured that most people knew the game, and I never looked at giving insight as a way to be a teaching tool for people.
For me, the locker room, the camaraderie with the guys, it’s all special. It was all stuff you take to heart; it’s not for sale. I had to look at [all of] it differently and take a new approach to it.
Do you appreciate the media more now that you’re a part of it?
Kevin Garnett: It just shows me how private I was. I was always like, no, no, no, no, no. But back then, we were drowned with so many interview requests, we didn’t have our own platform to speak out.
Now, when we have to track down a guy and put in a request with their PR, that’s funny to me [laughs]. I have so much respect for the process of it.
I wasn’t aware of it when I played, now when you’re trying to get people on the show, I totally get it and understand it.
Preparations
Your preparation as a player was so intense, you were so locked in when you were on the court. Is it the same for you now, are you getting locked in right before the cameras come on?
Kevin Garnett: I’m a little more relaxed. But there’s a certain way I want that shit to look, that I want that shit to come off, that I want that shit to be delivered, so I take on the same kind of attitude.
It’s about the quality of something. I look at this as something I enjoy doing and as part of my brand. I do it with the best of everything I have.
You never know who is watching or who you are influencing. I always keep those things in the back of my mind. I know what’s going on with them, what’s current with them. Anything they want to talk about, we talk about.
Dream Guest
Who is your dream guest for Area 21?
Kevin Garnett: Colin Kaepernick.
I would love to watch a basketball game with him, or a football game and just have him decipher the game for me.
Or I could watch him play Madden and just get inside his head and see what he sees so I can improve my quarterback rating. I would love to get him in a setting where it’s just laid back and chill, and we can just be two human beings watching the game.
