On the first day of the new year after being embarrassed again, this time by the San Antonio Spurs by 21 points, a reflective Kevin Garnett opened up to the Brooklyn Nets beat writers about his humbling and frustrating season.
Garnett was never supposed to come to Brooklyn and be the focal point of anything but his eroding play and missing in action jumpshot is making this season one of the worst of his distinguished career.
I will now allow Twitter to expand and give you some of his comments.
An introspective Kevin Garnett said today that this is the most frustrating season of his career.
