His retirement, along with the retirement of Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan, has marked the end of the most influential era of basketball.

Most current NBA players can realize and understand the impact that Kevin Garnett made on the game basketball, and Emmanuel Mudiay and Jameer Nelson also realized that impact and made it social. Jameer has, of course, been in the league several years longer than sophomore Emmanuel Mudiay, but neither can deny the immense impact that KG had on the players, there refs, the coaches, and the entire game of basketball as a whole. He will truly be missed this coming NBA season.

KG may not go down as one of the greatest of All-Time, but his impact on the game as a whole will never be forgotten.
