The beautiful thing about when you go through a slide is that you learn from it. Not just saying that you learn from it, but applying the things that you have learned.

More quotes by Kevin Garnett
Going from Flip to Kev, obviously you don't want to see someone ever lose their job. For me it's probably a little more difficult, because other than Bill Blair, Flip is all I knew.
Kevin Garnett
I've never been an individual guy. I never cared about the accolades. I've always been driven by the competition and the learning process.
Kevin Garnett
In my walks of life, I've understood that it takes more than one person to think of achieving a goal, and it takes more than one or two players, to get you out of the position you're in.
Kevin Garnett
I would love to see Flip get back into the league. I think he can definitely still coach in this league. I think he will be in this league quicker than sooner.
Kevin Garnett
So we take a lot of pride in that. It's really on us to turn this thing around. I think this last month we've done just that. We've pointed ourself in the direction that we want to be, and I think we're starting to head towards that. Right now we're in a nice rhythm.
Kevin Garnett
The competition, the naysayers, the owners who talk too much. The people who don't think a 36-year-old can do what I do. I take a lot of pride in my craft, I work really hard at my craft everyday, and I'm a true professional.
Kevin Garnett
Flip's a player's coach, and I do know one thing, he motivates better than anybody I know. His system is very oriented around the point guard. He and Steph (Marbury) had a great relationship when Steph was in Minnesota.
Kevin Garnett
I don't think anything less than perfect, even though I'm a human being. The way I work and go at things is to better myself in perfect terms.
Kevin Garnett
So you're dealing with a coach, and you're dealing with a guy who's actually experienced NBA basketball from a player's perspective and actually goes about it that way.
Kevin Garnett
They're really aggressive. They're like roaches on bread - you drop some on the floor and, boom, they're on it.
Kevin Garnett
This is it. It's for all the marbles. I'm sitting in the house loading up the pump, I'm loading up the Uzis, I've got a couple of M-16s, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of grenades, got a missile launcher. I'm ready for war.
Kevin Garnett
When you first come out, it's transition. You gotta find your routine, days you don't feel like doing it, you don't have to do it. But you know, it's in you. I like to think anyone wants to look good, I'm no different from that. More importantly, I wanna be healthy enough to run with my kids.
Kevin Garnett
Some of my friends snowmobile. I'm a little scared of it.
Kevin Garnett
I'm very simple. I'm not for the flashes, I'm not for glitz and glamour, you know.
Kevin Garnett
Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal. I don't ever want to come off like that. My opinion is my opinion about someone.
Kevin Garnett
This ain't the Girl Scouts. This ain't the Boy Scouts. This is the NBA.
Kevin Garnett
Performance is something we all strive to be better at. I'm no different than that. Who wants to look bad?
Kevin Garnett
I learned one thing - never hate a positive option.
Kevin Garnett
It's scary when one day the city is there and the next day it's gone. To see the water actual kill people, I couldn't believe it. I never fathomed it could bury a city.
Kevin Garnett
Too much coffee. Too much coffee and Gatorade. It's a hell of a mix. If you're ever tired in the morning, just try that mix, and tell me what you think.
Kevin Garnett
