Kevin Garnett says he used to run three miles a day so he wouldn’t ever get tired during games, and says he would lean into opposing players during the 4th quarter just to hear how hard they’re breathing and make sure they knew he wasn’t tired at all “Stretching is another thing. I don’t think our kids are in the best shape either, bro. I’m watching the league, a lot of dudes out of shape in the league, bro. I ain’t going to lie. I don’t see nobody running, racing.” “The secret weapon of being in shape... I was literally just hell on the whole team. It’s different when you’ve got your hands on your knees in the fourth quarter and you see a dude in your face ready to go. Like, ‘I’m not even tired.’ That’s just a mental advantage.” “They don’t run the miles. That used to be one of my main workouts, two or three miles a day. I never got tired on the court, ever. That was part of my play. I wanted to outwork you so much that I could hear you breathing. I’d say something: ‘Boy, you breathing. I can hear you. You sound like Biggie out here.’” “I’m dead ass, boy. You can’t play me. You out here huffing and puffing, boy. What? It’s definitely an advantage to that.”
