The KG era ends...

Kevin Garnett has gone from Minnesota to the Boston Celtics. Although I do feel the deal was essential for Minnesota to rebuild its team in a timely fashion I still can't grasp watching KG in another jersey. Outside of childhood obsession with Michael Jordan, KG is my favorite basketball player of all time. Watching him leave Minnesota is truly sad. Looks like I have a new NBA squad to keep my eyes on. I hope KG finally gets the opportunity to win the championship that Minnesota couldn't provide him. For me an era ends.

As a funny side note, Nick met Molly in downtown Minneapolis on Halloween when he and Dwyer were dressed as Oompa Loompa's from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.


Congrats to the new couple!
