Steven Adams Pretended To Not Speak English So Kevin Garnett Couldn’t Trash-Talk Him
When Kevin Garnett has retired, a lot of players shared their best KG moments and stories. Oklahoma City’s center Steven Adams, shared one of the funniest stories.
We all know that Kevin Garnett was the master of trash-talking. Steven Adams obviously was aware of that when he first came into the NBA. But in order to not get trash-talked by Kevin Garnett, he thought of a funny, yet brilliant idea. He just pretended to not speak English:
“He’s got this presence about him. It’s intimidating. And he doesn’t talk to me at all. I played the English card one time. He said something, and I was just like, ‘Uh, no English. No English, man. Sorry.’ And so, he kind of left me alone, which is brilliant.”
