Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. That is especially true on Twitter, where “parody accounts” and other purveyors of false information run amok.
On Wednesday morning, one of these accounts posted a pretty convincing graphic, showing a quote attributed to NBA great Kevin Garnett. It is, of course, very fake
“Everybody’s just running from the grind nowadays, teaming up with each other,” the fake quote reads. “Back in my day, we did it the hard way! If you can’t win alone, you're considered a bum. Period.”
Garnett, of course, won his first and only NBA title in 2008, after he was traded to the Celtics, teaming up with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, who was also acquired in a trade.
