If that's not the best link, search: "Passing The Torch: Garnett Sits Down With Russell."
This was a great moment for me, as an NBA fan. Just to see one of the all-time greats sit down and deliver such a positive and inspiring message was really moving for me. This made like the Celtics even more than I do now, and I'm a Raptors fan!
Sorry if this has already been posted, I just thought it was really cool.

It really got me when Russell said
"IF you keep playing the way you are you're gonna win 2 or 3 rings. But if you don't I'll share one of mine with you,"

Personally, I chuckled at that. I got this picture of KG
intensely searching eBay for an auction on a NBA championship ring to buy so that he could share a ring even if he never earns one.

The only thing missing was Garnett cursing throughout the interview and making weird faces.

funny, i pictured Lebron searching for said ring and when the auction got down to the last second he slipped and didnt hit submit in time(eerily like the game 1 layup) weirddddd man.

That was quite corny, although if I was a Celtic fan I might of liked it.

Great moment, although if I were KG I'd give back two or three rings if that meant I didn't have to listen to Bill Russell laugh.

I got the vibe that KG felt awkward or uncomfortable during the segment.
