Matt Barne’s son is 5’ 2” with a mens size 10 shoe IN SECOND GRADE 🤯

Matt Barnes brings a school basketball game into the conversation, and Kevin Garnett is soon calling for a coaching assignment: "Bring him to Uncle Ticket!"

The KG Certified Short pairs their conversation with footage of Barnes' son playing basketball. Barnes says the interest is coming from the boy himself, and he wants to help him develop it. Garnett, meanwhile, watches the crossovers and a running bank shot with the enthusiasm of an uncle who would happily take over the next practice.

Barnes also explains a small frustration with the school game's rules: dunking wasn't allowed during play, he says, but his son dunked afterward. Watching him bring the ball up the court, Barnes reaches for a familiar NBA comparison, Shaquille O'Neal handling the ball full-court.

The excerpt reached about 278,000 views in its first twelve hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day start for Shorts. Its comment section was also more than twenty times busier than a typical first day.

Elsewhere on the channel, Garnett and Barnes' longer Lakers discussion is drawing an unusually strong start of its own. There, the question is whether the supporting cast fits Luka Dončić, with the pair arguing that defensive effort will determine how far the roster can go.
