 | | Kevin Garnett: I said to the young: I don’t take the phones, but five minutes before the coaches arrive you will listen to me30.04.2025 |
The legendary NBA player spoke about communicating with young players at the end of his career. The young generation does not want responsibility. But in order to become better, they should tell you that you are doing badly. This is the only way to improve. The whole point of coaching is lost. When you give a person everything, he stops listening, stops growing. If I can’t train you, then why am I on our website?
I go into the locker room during the break-I’m used to what everyone is discussing there: what are we doing when protecting against peak and roll? , Let`s talk about the game, pass Gatorade, wrap your leg.
What now? I go - and no one in the locker room. I go to the medical room - everyone relaxes, legs on the table, in phones. Hi, baby, hello, my girl - and this is the break of the match.
Well, I`m like this: okay, I`m a veteran, let`s return everyone to the locker room for a minute. I collect everyone and ask: yu, what is it? And Ricky Rubio says: yes, dude, now no one wants to talk. All in phones. And we need to deal with the peak-n roll. Rubio belonged to the old school. This was the first time I saw this new generation in the locker room. | /Wiggins was not talkative, but was an informal leader. I took them aside: listen, I respect you. You are the future. But I am a veteran-and I need to bring some of the traditions here. He told them: you can sit on the phones, but for five minutes we will talk about the game before the coaches arrived. And they accepted it, ”Garnett said.
