Kevin Garnett had several stories about what goes on at the Olympic Village.

Kevin Garnett has always been a wild man. He won an NBA championship in the league and a Gold medal in the Olympics. Garnett played for the 2000 United States Men’s Olympic Basketball Team in Sydney, Australia.

It was a team that had stars like Kobe, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, and Ray Allen. The NBA legend recently provided an in-depth visual of what goes on in the Olympic Village. Garnett revealed a wild, behind-the-scenes reality of life inside the Olympic Village.

Vince made the Olympics memorable with his dunk over Frederic Weis.

One of the wildest things that he witnessed was 10,000 condoms disappearing in mere seconds. Athletes from around the world scooped them up like candy. The action extended far beyond their chosen sport.

“Let me tell you something, the Olympics is all gang banger,” Kevin Garnett said. You go through the village, yo. So I’m going to go ahead and say something I probably ain’t going to say, but yeah. So the dopest part about the Olympics, y’all, is day one when you get there. They got a place that only the athletes can go.”

Kevin Garnett delves into the story of how he and other NBA stars witnessed condoms disappear on day one. Somehow, the NBA stars were singled out.

“So you come in the village—me, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, and Dice walk through the village on the first day, he continued. We go to the game room. This game room is probably about 10,000 square feet. It’s got games. It’s got everything you can do in here. Everybody is in the middle, hitting the table. Every athlete that’s in the Olympics is in this room, hitting the table.”

“As we’re walking in, there are dorms. It looked like apartments, like townhomes. But everybody got a Brazilian flag. You look over here, it’s the Swedish flag. In this, you see n***as in Speedos. The girls walking—like, it’s about a thousand people just walking around, walking with a Dominican flag. It’s this.”

That is when Kevin Garnett comes across the condoms.

“We’re going in here, everybody hitting the table. Some small dude, you can’t even see him. He got a trash can. He walking, he walking. Finally, he gets to this big old bowl on the table. You don’t even know this is a bowl. The man dumps about 10,000 condoms in the middle of the thing. And then, as he gets out of the way, you can’t even see him no more because after about 30 seconds, it’s not a condom left in the bowl.”

Security in the area would soon get the players out of the area. They did not want them around because of their influence. “It cracked so hard, security got us out of there. It’s like, ‘No, you’ve got to get y’all out of here,” Garnett recalled. And they don’t let NBA players in the village because they’re so influential. They got us out of there so fast. I’m talking about NBA security.”

The 2000 USA Men’s Olympic Basketball Team was nicknamed the “Dream Team III.” They went undefeated throughout the tournament. It was the USA’s third consecutive basketball gold medal at the time.

Team USA has won every gold medal except in 2004 since that time. Kevin Garnett would later capture an NBA championship with the Celtics. He retired in 2016 after spending 14 of his 21 seasons in Minnesota. Garnett is the only Timberwolves player to win an NBA MVP. He still holds nearly every major franchise record. That includes games played, points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.

Over his career, Garnett averaged 17.8 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
