Kevin Garnett

Was one of the first modern high school players to jump directly to the NBA in 1995, paving the way for Kobe Bryant and others.

His intensity is legendary — he once head-butted a stanchion to get hyped before a game, and his trash talk is considered the most creative in NBA history.

Famously screamed "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!" after winning the 2008 NBA championship with Boston — it became one of the most iconic celebration moments.

Despite his fierce on-court persona, he's known as one of the kindest, most generous players off the court.
