Kevin Garnett is the greatest basketball player to ever suit up for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
But in recent years, KG wasn't around the team. It was a tough situation for a franchise legend.
Now, that's changing.
On Thursday, ESPN's Shams Charania reported: "Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett is reuniting with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Lynx in a new, all-encompassing role involving business, community efforts and content development, sources told ESPN. His long-awaited No. 21 Wolves jersey retirement will also happen in Minnesota."

Charania explained that Garnett had a fallout with previous owner Glen Taylor, which had kept him away from the franchise and led to his refusal to have his jersey retired.
KG "built a rapport with new owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, and the sides found common ground on a reunion," Charania added.
Garnett was the fifth overall pick in 1995 by the Timberwolves out of high school.
He spent his first 12 seasons with the Wolves, then parts of two more to end his career.
Garnett made nine All-Star teams while with the Timberwolves and won an MVP award. That MVP season was 2003-04, when Garnett averaged 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.
Now, he'll get his rightful recognition in Minnesota for all he did for the Timberwolves.
