Julius Randle is cold-blooded.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers forward is only 20-years-old, he showed he can handle a veteran like 39-year-old Kevin Garnett during the Lakers' season-opening 112-111 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What makes this incident even better is the sophomore was 7 months old when "The Big Ticket" was drafted.

When KG tried to get in Randle's face, the youngster didn't back down.

For someone who has yet to play a full season in the NBA, Randle's trash-talk game is in midseason form.

And then there's this inbounds pass off Garnett's back, which is both hilarious and savage.

Julius Randle clowns Kevin Garnett.

Randle, who said trash-talk "gets him going," stressed to reporters after the 112-111 loss that it takes a lot more than that to shake him.

"It doesn't scare me. I'm not scared of anybody," he said.
