NBA Champion Kevin Garnett is one of the most intense players to have ever played in the NBA.

Not only was he a hard worker, but he never ceased to leave anything on the court.

He is known as one of the most intimidating trash talkers in his generation.

On a nightly basis, he was almost too hyper at times which didn't always sit well with other players.

Opponents have been on the other end of taunts, claps, barks, cursing rants, and even things they care not to share with the public, although it took them past their limit.

After contemplating if he should stay with the Minnesota Timberwolves for one more season, Garnett decided to work on a buyout with the team and retire from the NBA.

The league will miss this one of a kind player who came into the league as Da Kid, and ended his career as The Big Ticket.

Garnett didn't hold a press conference or find some flashy manner to leave the game, but he did express his love for it, and the love he received in his 21 seasons in the league on his Instagram page.

You can watch the farewell video below.
