Garnett Will Wear #2 Jersey As Ode To The Late Malik Sealy #CRACK360

Brooklyn Nets Garnett jersey Malik number 22 Sealy

Kevin Garnett is a passionate player who has never been one to hide his emotion, and as a gesture to a fallen teammate he will wear number 2 on his jersey while playing for the Brooklyn Nets.

Previously Garnett had worn number 21 with the Minnesota Timberwolves, and number 5 with the Celtics as number 21 was retired.  As an ode to Malik Sealy (1970-2000), who was Garnett’s teammate in Minnesota and tragically died in a car accident when a drunk driver hit him head on as Sealy was driving home from Garnett’s birthday party. 

After six seasons in Boston, Kevin Garnett officially became a member of the Brooklyn Nets today. In a pretty awesome gesture, it was revealed that Garnett would wear #2 in Brooklyn to honor former teammate Malik Sealy, who was killed by a drunk driver back in 2000.

KG and Sealy were teammates for two seasons (1999-2000) with the Minnesota Timberwolves. On May 20th, 2000, after attending Garnett’s 24th birthday party, Sealy was was tragically killed by a drunk driver while heading home from the party in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
