The first time Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant hit the hardwood together was Nov. 3, 1996.
Well, the 2015-16 season is underway and the two are still cooking on the court.
Wednesday's season opener pitted the Los Angeles Lakers star, entering his 20th year in the pros, against the Minnesota Timberwolves veteran, who has 21 years of NBA experience.
Let's reflect on how fun life was in 1996:
