Kevin Garnett recently blasted current NBA players for their lack of toughness while revealing he played his entire career with a heart condition.
The Hall of Famer said players are doubting themselves in regard to doctors’ injury advice and believes it negatively impacts their mindset. Garnett then revealed his own heart condition as an example.
“Bro, they told me I had a hole in my heart. ‘You can’t play,’” Garnett recalled on the KG Certified podcast with former Celtics and Nets teammate Paul Pierce. “So, every year I had to get on the joint and pass this test.”
