"I don't have striker's skills. I just want the liberty of not only passing the ball but also the liberty of shooting the ball, or at least trying to be a striker." -- Kevin Garnett, on playing soccer.Two and one half years ago, a very fun What if our greatest athletes played soccer? piece was written for FOXSports.com ahead of World Cup 2006, an international sporting event of epic proportions.
Turns out, this very intelligent writer was ahead of the curve.
On a "Dream Team" comprised totally of star athletes outside soccer, Kevin Garnett manned the goalkeeper position.
That was in make-believe happyland. In the real world, Garnett plays hoops but has taken up soccer as a form of cross training to prepare for play in the lesser sport of basketball.
