From the beginning of the research and development process, Garnett has joined the discussion and is fully involved in the control of the sole on the ground, technology, color, appearance design, etc. He hopes that through continuous discussions, he can create a pair of KG Wolf King style Exclusive model. Garnett was the league's most valuable player in the 2003-2004 NBA season and led the Minnesota Timberwolves to their first Western Conference championship game. This season, Garnett has continued his consistent excellent performance. He currently ranks first in the rebounding list, averaging more than 20 points, and was elected as the starting forward for the Western Conference in the NBA All-Star Game. Since Jordan retired, all parties have been busy looking for a successor for him. Kobe, Carter and the latest James, most of the successors look like Jordan. But if you want to find a basketball player who is comparable to Jordan at heart, the first choice among active players should be Garnett. Garnett is very similar to Jordan, and their unique characteristic is their incomparable persistence in winning. Every successful NBA star has his own history of struggle, and Garnett is no exception, as evidenced by his tattoos. Garnett has "KG" (the abbreviation of his English name) tattooed on one arm, and a basketball tattooed on the other arm. The basketball says "sweat, blood and tears". These three words record the MVP. The process of growth. Blood This is related to the beginning of Garnett's basketball career. Garnett's biological father, O. Lewis Garnett, was a man with great basketball talent. He was once the main player of the army basketball team. But after his parents divorced, his stepfather didn't encourage Garnett to play because he didn't want a basketball hoop installed in the family's garage or driveway in the neighborhood.

And the mother also hopes that Garnett can go to college-basketball? She thought her son was just playing with the middle school team after school. But apparently she was wrong. In high school, Garnett set life goals for himself. After a fight with his school teammates on the court, Garnett carved the words "KG" on the classroom wall and vowed not to lose to anyone on the basketball court. This also destined him to become the Wolf King. Khan represents Garnett's hard work over the past eight years. Garnett is one of the few players to go straight from high school to the NBA and be successful. In four years of high school, Garnett scored 2,533 points, 1,807 rebounds and 739 blocks. He was named the Most Outstanding Player at the McDonald's All-American Basketball Game. Therefore, in 1995, Garnett was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick in the first round of the draft. After entering the NBA, although he only weighed 99 kilograms, Garnett had to compete with some superstars in the paint because of his height of 2.08 meters. Malone, Kemp, Weber, Ewing and Olajuwon had all made him suffer, but at that time it was O'Neal who he was afraid of facing. At that time, there were two lines painted on the wall of the Timberwolves general manager's office. One was 2.10 meters away from the ground, and the other was 2.14 meters away from the ground. The function of these two lines is to measure Garnett's height. The Timberwolves club's idea is that when Garnett's height grows to 2.10 meters, his position on the field will be adjusted from small forward to power forward. If When it grows to 2.14 meters, Garnett will be used as a center. Therefore, since Garnett's height exceeded 2.10 meters, Garnett has never straightened his body during the routine weekly height measurement. His analysis is: "Hey, you know I will be taller if I grow taller." I have to guard O'Neal! God, don't let my body grow anymore." Fortunately, Garnett only grew to 2.11 meters, and after 8 years of hard work, Garnett has become an NBA player with O'Neal and Duncan. The best inside player. Tears records Garnett's dissatisfaction over the past eight years. In the past 20 years, only two players have played all five positions on the court in official NBA games. They are Anthony Walker and Toni Kukoc. But now, almost everyone believes that as long as Timberwolves coach Saunders agrees, Garnett can do this, and he will definitely do it better than Walker and Kukoc. Unfortunately, basketball is a team sport. Although Garnett can play all positions on the court, he cannot make his teammates in the other four positions reach the same level. The teammates around him did not give him enough help. First, Marbury and Gugliotta left him. Then Joe Smith's "black gold case" caused the Timberwolves to lose the chance to draft, and finally met Brandon. His career was completely scrapped, and Garnett struggled every season. However, for 7 consecutive seasons, the Wolf King and his team stopped in the first round of the playoffs. Last season, the Timberwolves finally recovered, and Garnett also reached a new peak in his career. Garnett used his sweat, blood and tears to win his first MVP. In addition to winning the MVP last season, Garnett also formally signed a lifetime contract with Adidas, the world's second largest sports shoe manufacturer. Minnesota Timberwolves star agent Andy Miller refused to disclose financial details. Garnett, one of the NBA's most box-office stars, suddenly ended his contract with sports manufacturer AND1 and switched to another sports brand giant, Adidas. Garnett did not explain the reason for parting ways with AND1, but he assured that after cooperating with the new sponsor, his products will still maintain their street characteristics. Before entering the NBA, Garnett was the famous king of street basketball in Chicago. AND1 Company has always supported street basketball, which is very consistent with Garnett's free and uninhibited style. After signing with Adidas, Garnett quickly made a guarantee to the fans, or consumers, who supported him. Since the first day he joined the NBA, Garnett has always played for the Timberwolves, but this is already his third sponsor. Before AND1, he was also a member of NIKE. In the five years at NIKE, 530,000 pairs of his sports shoes have been sold, while McGrady's Adidas shoes have sold 750,000 pairs. Garnett believes that this is not because his appeal is not as good as Tracy McGrady, but because Adidas has invested more. "You can see Tracy McGrady everywhere, on TV, in magazines, on the radio, and Adidas has provided huge support behind him." Adidas is very excited about Garnett joining. They already have two superstars in Duncan and McGrady. Stars, plus Garnett, the "Adidas lineup" is even more impressive in the league. "We have three of the best players in the NBA, and they can compete with any opponent." said Wolf, Adidas Sports Marketing Director. Adidas also values ??Garnett's "street background," which is what attracts young consumers. According to analysis, the most marketable stars in the NBA are Iverson, Garnett, McGrady, and future star James. Without exception, they are all young talents who are good at playing alone. For the target consumer group of 15 to 32 years old in the sports shoe market, such idols undoubtedly have great "lethal power". "We really not only hope to see Kevin wearing our shoes on the court, but also hope that he will continue to wear them after he retires. Because Kevin is very good and can inspire people to move forward." Adidas spokesperson Terra Weiss said.

Adidas has been trying to open up the sneaker market in the U.S. for the past few days, and to this day they are still playing catch-up with Nike. The stars currently signed by Adidas include last season's regular season scoring champion McGrady, and two-time MVP Dim Duncan also switched to Adidas after ending his five-year contract with Nike. Garnett ranked second behind Duncan in the MVP voting last season. This year is the last year of his six-year contract with the Timberwolves. He will receive 28 million of the 126 million US dollars. Andy Miller said signing Garnett to a lifetime contract was unanimous within the company, just like Michael Jordan was with Nike. "He is only 27 years old. We can't clearly see what the future will look like. Maybe Kevin will be interested in the shoe business and officially join our company." Although the performance in the 04~05 and 05~06 seasons was not very good, he did not enter the playoffs. But his leadership status is obvious. In 2007, he joined the Eastern Boston Celtics, teamed up with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen to form the league's powerful Boston Big Three, and defeated the Los Angeles team led by Kobe Bryant in the 2008 Finals. Lakers, won the first championship of his career.
