Kevin Garnett: “AAU Has Ruined The NBA Because It’s Created Entitled Kids”
In an interview with Kevin McHale for NBATV, Garnett critizied the AAU mentality that exists among young players in the NBA. Garnett thinks that entitlements like that shouldn’t exist around the league. He basically claims that the AAU has created entitled kids.
“Our league now is at a point where you have to teach more than anything. AAU has killed our league. Seriously, I hate to even say this, but it’s real. From the perspective that these kids are not being taught anything. They have intentions and they want things, but the way they see it is not how our league works. You earn everything in this league. You’re not entitled to anything.”
