Here’s what Kevin Garnett said after he was officially elected into the Hall of Fame

It was a foregone conclusion that Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and Tim Duncan would be elected into the Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the 2020 class, and the news became official Saturday during a special program on ESPN.

They headline a group many have deemed arguably the best of all-time.

Garnett, who spent six seasons in Boston and helped the Celtics capture a title in 2008, called the honor the culmination of countless hours of hard work and “what you do it for.”

“To be called a Hall of Famer is everything,” Garnett told Rece Davis.
