What are some of the lesser known stories of nba players?
Thank God I have a choice

Kevin Garnett's parents split up when he was very young. Garnett's biological father was O. Lewis Garnett, a talented basketball player who never played in the NBA. I was on the army basketball team, and I played first team. In Garnett's mind, O's image has been a bit blurred, only remember when he was a child countless times on the sidelines, watching his father practice with his teammates, helping them collect the ball. Garnett lived with his mother, but she didn't have much capacity to raise Garnett and Esley. Later, the mother remarried, and the stepfather did not treat the Garnetts well. From the age of 13, Garnett had to work every day to earn money to support his family. He had done more than a dozen different jobs, from carrying luggage to scrubbing cars. Anything that was legally allowed and could support himself and his sister, Garnett would take on the most grueling tasks, working 20 hours a day during vacations. After his parents divorced, Garnett's stepfather didn't want him to play because he didn't want to have a basket in his garage or backyard, which would have made the already spacious apartment look even more crowded. The mother did not encourage her son to play basketball. In her opinion, playing basketball was not the right path for her son. She wanted him to go to college and get a decent job after graduating from college.

She wanted him to go to college and get a decent job after graduating from college.
But apparently, the mother underestimated her son's talent for basketball. In high school, Garnett was hired to coach the varsity basketball team and began to make a name for himself.
John Hammond, the Pistons' basketball manager, was a key figure in Garnett's development. Hammond, with an eye for talent, spotted Garnett in a high school league game and introduced him to Chicago's 1995 training camp. Garnett became an overnight sensation when the Timberwolves selected him fifth overall in the first round of the nba draft that same year. The Timberwolves signed him to a huge contract, which was sensational news at the time.
Kevin McHale, the Timberwolves' general manager of basketball, remembers the first time he met Garnett. Garnett performed a difficult dunk and "everybody was stunned. Everybody's mouth fell open and they could hardly believe their eyes." On the way back, Saunders, now the Timberwolves' coach and former general manager, began muttering to himself, "This guy, we can't give up."
As it turned out, Saunders was right. The Timberwolves made the playoffs eight years in a row after Garnett joined the team.
Off the court, Garnett's life gets little attention. In fact, the odd-looking, even comical footballer is also a fashion designer with good taste. He has his own clothing line called obf, which is doing quite well.
Garnett is a Taurus, a sign that shares a common trait: perseverance and a keen interest in learning new things. Garnett loves the fashion industry, he says, because it keeps one's finger on the pulse of trends.
Garnett had an eye for texture and color, and he was interested not only in clothing but also in interior design. Garnett's new house is large and he designed it all by himself. He always decorates his room tastefully. "I don't want to hire just anyone to decorate my house," he said. "I'm a man of fancy taste. The decoration of my home, even a small piece of furniture, reflects my thoughts." In Garnett's mansion, whether it's wall paint or furniture color, the tone is only simple
Two kinds of single: white and black. It's Garnett's favorite color, and he calls it "the ultimate color" that "never goes out of style."
