<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">This is your boy KG and you might ask what do I have going on this summer. Well I just arrived in Beijing for my up coming adidas tour of China, India and Chinese Taipei. Had some good news when I arrived, we just signed Mike James. I like what Mike brings to our team and the way that Randy Foye has played in Vegas I think our team will be much better next season. Getting back to my adidas tour, over the next six days we are scheduled to make stops in Beijing, Shanghai, New Delhi, Agra, Bangalore and Taipei. This is my first time to both China and India so I am looking forward to checking out the sites and meeting up with my many fans. When we arrived at the Beijing airport, there were tons of fans and media waiting. My guys from adidas told me what to expect, but until you actually see it you just don't understand how much the people here love the NBA. It was crazy! We have a number of dope events set up in every city we are going to. Tomorrow (July 13th) we launch a special Asia only Garnett '06 at a fan appreciation event. Many of you know my signature shoe from last season; well we took that shoe and made a hot version just for Asia! The shoe is black, red and has a laser etched dragon that runs the length of the shoe, it's hot! It is limited to 1000 pairs so I?m eager to see how soon they go. After the limited edition shoe launch event I will be off to the Great Wall. You all stay tuned and I will holler at you later.</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Last night had a good night sleep. Woke up early, got breakfast, worked out and got up some shots. As we do everyday we started it off with an overall briefing of the day. I could tell by the anticipation that the event would be live. Once we got there the fans had a lot of love for me. The gym was hot! adidas did this sick stage that was crazy. It had me come through the largest video screen I had ever seen. There had to have been over a 1000 kids and their positive energy just got me hyped. We did a number of things from launching my adidas Asia shoe, to me playing with some of the best high school aged players from China. I was suprised how good the players were and look forward to seeing them in the league. After the event I was exhausted. I gave away my jersey and shoes so I walked out half naked, but they showed me so much love it was the least I could do. From there we went back to the hotel, did some one-on-one interviews, had lunch and then off to the Great Wall. At the Great Wall some of my fans from the event earlier and the media had made the hour trip out. The Great Wall is one thing you hear about, but to see it is a wwwhhhooollleee different thing. It was a clear day so when we got to the top of the wall I really got an idea of just how big it was. We climbed it, flew some dragon kites and took a lot of pictures. After our media session, I spent abot 30 minutes with my family, just soaking it in. Being on the wall made think how far I have come from South Carolina, Chicago to Beijing. Basketball has truly blessed me. We are now off to Shanghai, holler at you later. KG </div> Source
