    Kevin Garnett and his former Celtics teammate Paul Pierce have spent the past few days basking in the glow of the Celtics' record 18th NBA championship.

    Garnett and Pierce continue to make things interesting on their popular Ticket & The Truth YouTube channel, including recently when Garnett got extremely personal on something Miami Heat President and legendary NBA coach Pat Riley said that still bothers him to this day.

    Garnett said he was in the midst of a workout prior to the 1995 NBA Draft that led to Riley getting upset and change his entire demeanor. He still remembers how Riley's words made him feel.

    "All of a sudden I heard Pat Riley say, 'Aw, come on, what the f--- are we doin' in here?" Garnett said on his popular podcast.

    "Got me waitin' on a high school guy? Come on! Let's start this s---" Riley continued, according to Garnett.

    "And I swear to God...I felt violated," Garnett said. "To this day, that s--- still bother me."

    Garnett said that Riley made him transform into a "darker" version of himself that day.

    "...I said it confidently, but I ain't say it loud 'cause I ain't wanna f--- nun' up," Garnett said.

    "I was like, Oh, he don't know why he here? And you could see me go dark. I was like, 'He don't know why he here?'"
