Udonis Haslem Doesn’t Think Kevin Garnett Was A ‘Tough Guy’

This year might feature the greatest basketball Hall of Fame Class in history!

While Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett initially should have been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame last year, the global Coronavirus pandemic pushed it back to this year. The nine new members of the Basketball Hall of Fame will be enshrined May 14-16.

Udonis Haslem was asked for his thoughts on the three legends entering the Hall of Fame next week, and went on to destroy Kevin Garnett. Haslem stated that while Bryant and Duncan were tough guys, Garnett definitely wasn’t. He just talked a lot of trash.

Tough guys, you said?… Two of those guys I would probably say I consider tough guys, and that’s more so mentally tough. And one of those guys just do a lot of this [talking]. That’s not tough at all. The definition of tough guy don’t go by guys that do this [talking]. You probably want to take KG off that tough guy list.

Now, great basketball player, yes!
