Garnett's NBA career began as the Timberwolves' fifth overall pick in 1995. While in Minnesota (1995-2007), he earned the 2003 league MVP award and 10 All-Star nods. He was then traded to Boston (2007-13) to join forces with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Garnett had a brief stint in Brooklyn for the 2013-14 season and part of the 2014-15 season before returning to Minnesota and retiring.
