Kevin Garnett was the last active player to play against michael jordan

By which I mean the chicago bulls mj and not the wizards one. Kg has been playing so long he even played against magic johnson although that involved some good timing. See magic was a great player in the 80's and had to retire in the early 90's as he announced he was hiv positive. Kg came along in 1995 and magic came back to play for one season and they only played one game against each other

With kevin and kobe and tim duncan retiring this offseason it represents an end of an era. All 3 have played against chicago bulls mj and come from a different time in the nba. Now the old guard is considered players like paul pierce(who hasn't said yet if he's retiring) dirk,pau gasol, andre miller(still a free agent) manu ginobilli and vince carter and zbo

Unless ray allen decides to come back, there will be no active players that played against bulls mj, I'm not sure why I talk about that so much but it feels like a passing of the torch. The early 00's allstar games always had players like dirk,tim,kobe,shaq,chris webber,vince carter,paul pierce,kg etc etc and that era is slowly coming to an end

Instead the lebron,d.wade,carmello anthony era is going to be considered the old guys pretty soon that have seen some things in the nba. Anyways onto kg, he always look pumped up and mad on the court and he liked to set dirty screens and bully players that were smaller then him. I remember the 2007-08 celtics and the intros they used in the playoffs especially against the cavaliers, it was intense and got you hyped up. Now teams rarely make playoff videos and intros

He will be greatly missed and there won't be another player like him
