In a new installment of the "Impossible is Nothing" campaign for adidas, Minnesota Timberwolves forward and 2003-’04 National Basketball Association (NBA) MVP Kevin Garnett carries countless people on his back during his walk across town—literally. Directed by Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks, Los Angeles, and set to the tune of Etta James’ live recording of "He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands," the :60 "Carry" (with :30 and :15 versions), also features "The Garnett," a basketball shoe named after the MVP.
