Giving It Up for Brooklyn
Garnett, Pierce and Terry say "sacrifice" is key to championship success
They’ve each won a championship, competed in NBA Finals, received numerous individual awards and collected millions upon millions of dollars in the process.
But when it comes to chasing, and capturing, the ultimate goal of an NBA championship — something the Brooklyn Nets have yet to achieve — Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry all settled on one word to describe the difference between teams that win the title, and those that never quite can.
“Sacrifice,” Garnett intimated when asked by the Eagle what it would take for the Nets’ newly re-shaped roster to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy come next summer.
