It’s indisputable that Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett is the greatest player to ever wear the #5 on his jersey in the history of the NBA.

Garnett is being enshrined into the NBA Hall of Fame this weekend, and the Boston Celtics official Twitter account shared his perfect HOF fit on Friday night.

In response, Jayson Tatum quoted the tweet in a response calling him the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time for those not in the know) alongside his number five.

Via Tatum’s verified Twitter:

When it comes to franchise-changing acquisitions, no fortunes changed sooner for any franchise–even LeBron James joining the Miami Heat and rejoining the Cleveland Cavaliers in his prime–than Garnett making his way to Boston in 2007.
