On February 14th, Beijing time, the Celtics announced that they would officially retire Garnett's jersey next season. As the top power forward superstar in NBA history, Garnett played for the Celtics for six seasons and helped them win the NBA championship in 27-8. So now the Celtics have decided to retire Garnett's No.5 jersey, which is quite normal. After all, with Garnett's historical position and career honor, he is also fully worthy of the highest honor of retiring his jersey.

But it's very strange that as Garnett's real NBA parent team, the Timberwolves still haven't retired Garnett's jersey so far. What's going on? It is no exaggeration to say that Garnett is the first person in the team history of the Timberwolves. In the Timberwolves' team history data list, Garnett won the first place in the team history scoring list, rebounding list, assists list, steals list and blocked shots list. Although Garnett did not lead the Timberwolves to win the NBA championship, Garnett's position in the team history of the Timberwolves is absolutely unshakable.

However, Garnett's Timberwolves No.21 jersey has never been retired. It is important to know that it has been four years since the official announcement of retirement in 216. During this period, the Timberwolves can completely retire Garnett's jersey, but the Timberwolves did not do so in the end. In fact, the fundamental reason why Garnett's Timberwolves jersey didn't retire is that Garnett has a very bad relationship with the owner of Timberwolves, and Garnett himself has been avoiding the topic of retiring Timberwolves jerseys.

As for why Garnett and Timberwolves are incompatible, there is a saying among NBA fans. At the end of Garnett's NBA career, he also chose to return to the Timberwolves. At that time, Sanders, the president and coach of Timberwolves, was Garnett's mentor and their relationship was very close. It is rumored that Garnett was preparing to enter the management or coaching staff of the Timberwolves after retirement. After the future teacher retired, Garnett was in charge of the Timberwolves.

Unexpectedly, Saunders died of cancer in October 215, which also led to the complete bankruptcy of Garnett's plan. Garnett and the Timberwolves boss also had serious differences on the choice of the Timberwolves head coach, and finally the Timberwolves boss chose Tom Hiberdu. Garnett chose to retire. Before the player's contract ended, Garnett announced his retirement and bid farewell to the NBA stadium.

After Garnett retired, although the Timberwolves once said that they wanted to retire Garnett's jersey, Garnett never gave any response, so the matter of retiring the jersey has been delayed. Of course, I believe that with the passage of time, Garnett's No.21 jersey will definitely appear over the Timberwolves Arena when the relationship between Garnett and the owner of the Timberwolves gradually eases!
