VIDEO: Kevin Garnett's electric return to Minnesota
Kevin Garnett spent the first 12 years of his Hall of Fame career carrying the Minnesota Timberwolves on his back, earning 10 All-Star nods, eight All-NBA selections, and a 2004 MVP award while leading the T-Wolves to the Western Conference final.
Naturally, with Garnett back in Minnesota as a member of the Timberwolves for the first time in eight years, things got pretty electric and emotional inside Target Center on Wednesday.
Not even fellow NBA superstars could contain their excitement after watching the chilling moment.
Sending chills through my body watching the TWolves annonce KG to the home crowd during intros! #Crazy #NoPlaceLikeHome #StriveForGreatness

Garnett, who had a camera dubbed KG Cam following his every move on the T-Wolves' local TV broadcast, made his presence felt from the jump, swatting away a weak Nene hook-shot before bestowing some veteran knowledge on young phenom Andrew Wiggins.
