In a recent interview on the “Knuckleheads Podcast”, Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner spoke about the significance of defense in NBA basketball and the influential figures who helped to mold his game. Specifically, Turner had a ton to say about how a pair of Kevins transformed his outlook on the sport.
One of them is still playing today for the Phoenix Suns in star forward Kevin Durant, and the other is a Boston Celtics legend, Hall of Fame Boston big man Kevin Garnett. Turner’s journey is a testament to how mentors and role models can shape a player’s mindset in a positive way, and the Pacers center took some time to tell how that happened with him.
To hear how The Slim Reaper and the Big Ticket changed how Turner plays the game, take a look at the clip embedded below.
