"I was pretty close [to going to L.A.] to be honest," Garnett told Dan Patrick Show. "What disturbed me about the whole Laker situation was Kobe [Bryant] and Phil [Jackson] at the time. They was pretty bad. That situation was something I didn't want to get into. It was my choice. There was a lot going on and I didn't want to be a part of it."

"That Phil and Kobe bullshit was absurd and wanted nothing to do with that nonsense."
Imagine if KG went to the Lakers, we would be writing about how he is such a dirty player, not tolerating his antics and probably be enemy number 1. But that didn't happen and he's our dickhead and we love him for that. It's pretty funny how locker room issues are known in the league and not to outsiders, we all knew Kobe and Phil were feuding, but it must have been toxic in the locker room.
Anyways KG, we love ya, and glad to have you in Boston. Also every time I hear Day After Day I tear up in joy. Greatest commercial ever:
