“This team is not a playoff team,” Garnett said of the Warriors. Pierce then questioned that take, to which Garnett responded that the Warriors aren’t a playoff team “at all.” He continued. “No, not at all,” Garnett added when asked if the Warriors are even a play-in team. “… I’m just watching teams get better than them.”

“The problem I think with today is that we are so hung up on the yesteryear of the culture and the history that built the league, that we’re missing out on greatness right in front of us,” said Garnett. “LeBron James is 38 m—-f—— years old doing something we’ve never seen… we’ve got to get over this. Michael Jordan, Magic [Johnson], they are the past. We’ve got to embrace this new ish. We’ve never seen Stephen Curry. We ain’t never seen anything like Stephen Curry. We keep talking about Jerry West–shoutout to Jerry West, he was a super goon, did great things for the league–but yeah, we’re in a new time. Jerry West ain’t never seen this type of range.” -via Clutch Points / November 24, 2023
