NBA media day has provided some of the more memorable quotes of the summer. As should be expected, Brooklyn Nets power forward and future Hall of Fame player Kevin Garnett had one of the best.

According to Stefan Bondy of The New York Daily News, Garnett made it clear that he has no interest in becoming a coach after his playing career concludes.

Garnett is entering his 20th season in the NBA. His quote goes to show you that being a great player doesn’t always equate to coaching prowess.

Some have it, some don’t.

When a career comes to a close, an athlete must make the difficult transition out of their life-long profession. Certain athletes remain in their respective sport in some capacity, while others bid it goodbye.

The question is, which active players would make great coaches?
