15 years ago, Kevin Garnett led the Boston Celtics to their first championship in over two decades. During the immediate aftermath of their unforgettable title win against the Los Angeles Lakers, KG gave birth to a quote that has since lived in Celtics folklore — one that Jayson Tatum decided to pay tribute to on Monday night ahead of their do-or-die Game 7 matchup against the Miami Heat.

Tatum came into TD Garden with an inspiring piece of clothing. He had a brown jacket on that featured none other than Kevin Garnett himself. It also bore KG's memorable message from 2008: “Anything is possible:”

Tatum's epic tribute also prompted a reaction from the legend himself:

This is the perfect quote for what Tatum and the Celtics are trying to achieve on Monday night. The entire basketball world believed that they were cooked after the Heat buried them into a 3-0 hole in the Eastern Conference Finals. However, against all odds, the Celtics are now just one win away from winning this series, thereby ending a 76-year curse in the process.

As Kevin Garnett so aptly put it 15 years ago, anything is indeed possible. Tatum and Co. are set to prove that right as they look to win their fourth straight game against the Heat on Monday night. It would be an amazing, never-before-seen accomplishment for Boston as they book their ticket to the NBA Finals against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. A loss, however, will have major repercussions for the Celtics, who have had yet another outstanding campaign thus far.

Needless to say, A LOT will be on the line in Game 7.
