“He said he ain’t touch the rock?… Go in the lab and get your s**t right” - Kevin Garnett calls out 8x All-Star for his lack of work in offseason

Kevin Garnett oozed passion and approached the game with maniacal dedication throughout his career. He recently had a few words of advice for Anthony Davis. On an episode of KG Certified, the former MVP urged Davis to get his act together in the offseason and work hard.

“That s**t killed me, bro. He said he ain’t touch the rock?! Not even touch the rock! Go back to watch yourself, real s**t and be real with yourself, watch it by yourself. Go in the lab and get your s**t right. There’s no way he’s probably not top 10, top 5 in this game. Come on, man!”

The Boston Celtics legend implored Anthony Davis to get into shape and ensure he is an MVP contender next season.

“Bro, get lost, go to Hawaii, somewhere, straight up and down. When you come into camp, come into camp in better shape than anybody and everybody. That’s what you should be focused on.

“You should go for the MVP for the 2022-23 season…I’m your OG and that’s what I think, feel me?... But that’s my OG advice to AD…It’s his turn to carry the torch. Bron carried that small f**k for a whole decade and then some. AD came to the Lakers to be MVP and to take the torch from Bron.”

Kevin Garnett is convinced that if Anthony Davis puts in the work ethic, he can be the best player in the league.

“He can be so much better than what he is. I don’t know what’s around him but I would love to be able to work with somebody like that. I can’t wait to see, I’m actually looking forward to that influence on him because he can be MVP of the league, man! He should be MVP of the league one time.”

Davis made a huge impact in his first season with LeBron James. Together, the superstars brought the Larry O’Brien Trophy to Hollywood. Since then, it’s been a hugely disappointing two years for the former Pelican.

Roughly a week after Anthony Davis admitted he hadn’t touched a basketball since April, he was spotted working on his jump shot with shooting specialist Chris Matthews.

Davis’ three-point shot has dramatically fallen off during his time with the Lakers. He shot 33% in his first season, 26% in the second, and a horrific 18.6% last season.

Matthews posted this on Twitter yesterday:

“There is NO SUBSTITUTE for hard work!! AD been locked in! Blessing to help others with The Art of Shooting."
