When Kevin McHale drafted Kevin Garnett out of high school, let’s just say the Ticket’s jumper wasn’t poetry-in-motion. No, it was the kind of line-drive sports fans are more accustomed to seeing fly off George Brett’s bat than out of a professional basketball player’s fingertips.
Mr. McHale spent years working with KG on that jumper, and now, at times, it is a fluttery, high-arcing thing of beauty. Well, except when KG is tired or working himself back into shape.
His first games back from the abdominal injury are case in point. The line-drive was back.
Over the last two games not so much.
When he hit the turn-around jumper from near the three-point line, the arc said it all.
KG is getting healthy.
