Watch former Celtics great Kevin Garnett meet a surprise musical hero on Jimmy Kimmel

Former Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show on Wednesday, where he promoted his new book “KG: A-Z: An Uncensored Encyclopedia of Life, Basketball and Everything in Between.”

In his book, Garnett vividly describes saxophonist Kenny G as a “snake charmer” who helped him calm down before games.

“Listening to his soprano sax, I’d sit there and close my eyes and see my thoughts,” Garnett wrote in his book. “Kenny G got me to a different place, a new realm of relaxation.”

On Wednesday, Kimmel called Garnett’s love of Kenny G one of the book’s most surprising moments and asked Garnett if he had ever met the musician.
