He hated the old ownership and did not want them to retire his number

Horrible relationship with Glen Taylor. Not sure why this wasn’t done last year though.

The sale finally went through in the middle of the season last year. They weren’t going to plan the KG return with the season already underway at that point.

The sale was finalized in June, you might be thinking of the official partnership thing with the organization.

Should have been retired

Boston retiring his jersey, even though he won a ring with them, before the wolves even thought about it is ridiculous

zimzam2014 | Timberwolves

The reason why is because KG didn’t want his jersey retired under old ownership

We’re just addicted to retiring jerseys.

Garnett played his final NBA game in January 2016. It really took them 10 years to decide to retire his jersey, and it’ll be more than 11 years since his last actual game played. Crazy

Wolves have wanted to do it forever. KG wouldn’t allow it because he hated Glen Taylor.

I have mixed feelings about it because the fans in MN love him and he still wouldn’t put his feelings aside for the fans.

I think it’s kinda lame of KG to not do it for the fans.

Kinda crazy it took them this long. We retired Bosh years before they retired KG. Appreciate Bosh was a part of significantly more team success than the KG Wolves but still kind of wild for the best player in franchise history.

Does Towns get his number retired there

SuperVaderMinion | MIN

1 | 23 minutes ago

Unquestionably yes, third best player in franchise history and greatest Timberwolf of all time from what he did for the people in Minnesota.

Towns should have his number retired everywhere frankly, he’s a good person.

LivinForThaCity | Timberwolves

Nah. Great stats but he had a relatively short stint here, didn’t win anything, and never had a deep connection with the fan base. He also forced his way out. Naz and Rudy have a better shot imo.

Cool as hell.

pretty rare to get your jersey retired by 2 franchises.

Waveytony | Timberwolves

ITT: people who don’t know ball. The reason for the delay is KG hating Glen Taylor with every ounce of his being, Timberwolves would have done this so fast if they could have

Keep the same energy for the Brunson jersey retirement

HokageEzio | Knicks

Obviously they’re being dumb or baiting saying KG doesn’t deserve a Timberwolves jersey retirement, but trying to flip that against Brunson is equally dumb lol. There isn’t a retired Finals MVP that doesn’t have their jersey retired. Even Cedric Maxwell has his jersey retired for the Celtics and he’s not a Hall of Famer.

“Hi I’m a failed internet troll. Nice to meet you.”

[Spears] The Timberwolves say Kevin Garnett’s No. 21 jersey will be retired on Feb. 28, 2027 after the Celtics at Target Center. Garnett becomes just the second player in franchise history to have his number retired, joining late ex-teammate Malik Sealy, whose No. 2 was retired in 2000.
