His father, O'Lewis McCullough, left the family when Kevin was just born, he was not even married to his mother. Garnett grew up with his mother, two sisters and stepfather Ernest Irby, with whom he never got along.
Kevin fell in love with basketball when he attended Mauldin High School in South Carolina. Here he played for the local basketball team, where he was a permanent leader. But soon the guy was expelled from the school team, as well as from the school itself. During the summer holidays, Kevin spent time at the school basketball court, where other guys also played. There was one unpleasant incident. Once, someone painted black players' lockers with racist inscriptions. Embittered guys found the suspect and asked why he did it. During the showdown, one of the guys hit the culprit (one of the versions). The victim subsequently told everything to the teacher. Kevin just stood watching what was happening, and did not hit a petty bully.
A few days later, the district police visited the school. Kevin and two of his friends have been charged for second-degree lynching. As a result, the guy was arrested, but released a few days later on bail of 10 thousand dollars.
