As Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama fell short in leading his team against the New York Knicks, many perspectives came along that pointed towards the big man.

Speaking of co-hosting a podcast with Paul Pierce, Garnett extended his mentorship offer to Wembanyama because of his bright future of dominating the league.

“One thing I want to speak on is Wemby’s development. If I’m him, I’m working on core strength. I’m probably one of the strongest people you could ever run up on, and I look how I look, but when it came down to setting up on that block and then pitching and getting it off down there, yeah, I was the best at that,” Garnett said.

However, the former MVP also considered the French star’s preference, as he might be teaching a different approach. 

“So I would love to work with big fella, but this generation has a preference on how they want to work out, and I have to respect that,” he added.

Garnett earned the MVP award in 2004 with the Timberwolves and won the DPOY award and the championship in 2008 with the Celtics.
