KG to be featured on Wheaties box

Last update: June 18, 2008 - 12:03 PM

Wheaties, made by Minnesota-based General Mills, and former Timberwolf Kevin Garnett are teaming up to celebrate the Boston Celtics' NBA championship.

Garnett will be featured on a special-edition commemorative Wheaties box honoring the Celtics following their victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals, the Golden Valley-based cereal maker said in a news release.

The 15.6-ounce "Breakfast of Champions" box will be available nationally beginning in the next three weeks and will feature Garnett, who played for Minnesota for all of his career until he was traded to Boston before the start of this season.

This is KG's third Wheaties box appearance for Garnett and the fourth for the Celtics organization.
