In an episode of Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles, Kevin Garnett recalls a bizarre incident that blew his mind:
“I see Diddy and Biggie getting out the limo behind us, and Diddy, I don’t know what he on. Yeah, we in motherfu***n Cleveland, ni**a we about to get it. It’s the All-Star weekend.”
“As I see B.I.G, I thought B.I.G was gonna be like a bigger ni**a. He was just, I mean taller but he was little, but he looked like he was like this. He was having a big a** fur on, his hands were up like this. I just remember seeing cause it’s a blizzard.”
“Why the ni**a walking up his arms like that, that’s some LA shit. He was breathing heavy as shit.”
“So I am sitting there and I look ni**a, I saw two heads, right under his hands. That ni**a had two chicks under that goddamn fur and walked up the steps like that and the whole time he was walking, he was walking with his arms up.” (1:18:28)
