Kevin Garnett has signed a contract to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves on a two-year deal that will increase his career earnings to $343.4 million, the most in NBA history.
Garnett has never been considered one of the five or 10 best players of all time, but he has used talent and some good fortune to make nearly $330 million and counting.
Let's take a look at how more than once, Garnett was just the right player, in the right place, at the right time.
In 1995, Kevin Garnett was a 6-foot-11, 220-pound senior in high school and it had been 20 years since a high school player went straight to the NBA.
At 19, he chose to enter the NBA draft after failing to reach the minimum score on the ACT necessary for NCAA eligibility.
