Jayson Tatum’s Game 7 homage to Kevin Garnett appeared to inspire more than just Celtics fans on Monday, as the NBA Hall of Famer took to Twitter to shout out the star forward prior to Boston’s pivotal matchup against the Heat.
Tatum arrived ahead of the Eastern Conference finals finale at TD Garden wearing a KG-inspired jacket featuring the former Celtics star’s iconic “Anything is possible” quote from the 2008 NBA Finals. His attire was not only a clever callback to a great Celtics moment, but it also served as a message of motivation to the team and city with Boston hoping to become the first team to overcome a 3–0 playoff deficit.
As the video of Tatum’s pregame fit went viral, Garnett, as only he can, responded to the four-time All-Star with a tweet thanking him for the tribute and encouraging him to pull out all the stops in Game 7.
