@@ACarter87to a casual yes. but anybody that has ever hooped at a level above highschool will appreciate this era. best of both worlds in my opinion in terms of fun and competitiveness
@@ACarter87bro keep it a buck, you were probably just born in that era so you wouldn't know if it was fun or not. You grew up in this run and gun, no defense era where referees create the superstars by giving them all the free throws they could. For people that actually played the game and appreciate the nuance to it, we see great defense as fun to watch and not referees allowing superstars to travel or receive moving screens to get their tiny selves some space to shoot (looking at curry for this one)
32 pts in this era is basically 55 in today’s game, even better that it came in a crucial game 7 playoff game against CWebb. KG was something different in his prime
One of those games where the best llayer on the court shows why he is the best player. KG had that Xfactor. I was extremely pleased when he came to Boston. Perfect fit for both of us.
I decided to do some reseach of KG during his Timberwolves years…damn! No wonder he won MVP 🔥 plus this old school playoff matchups are always interesting to watch
There's a lot of bigman who took threes in KGs era like Rasheed, prince, Villanueva. And they aren't in KGs level. KG would still a superstar In today's game and would easily adapt the threes
I don't believe Dirk was on KG's level either. He played zero defense and exerted energy only on offense. If Sam Cassell and Troy Hudson, the Wolves starting and backup PGs that were playing great, both hadn't gotten injured KG would've got a ring this year and the narrative would've been way different
Got a bug ass 3 on one end and den hella plays later shows a great hedge, a block with 5 seconds left and den a great closeout…..that basically explained who kg was as a player he played hard and never gave up🤷🏾♂️💯
it’s way easier to hit shots inside the line, mastering the midrange is different from the 3 kg had elite rhythm for the midrange he didn’t need to shoot no 3s. the game needs more midrange players like demar and khris middleton
@@jetpackdd That’s fair to an extent. However, there’s many 20-22 foot jumpers that KG took where he could’ve extended it to 3. There’s a difference between normal midrange and deep midrange.
@@jetpackdd kawhi, Brunson, Jokic, AD, KD. Most of the elite players know how to get to their cheat midrange spots. It's slowly coming back and has always been important.
True, but Giannis would dominate in any era. When you’re 6’11 and faster than a PG there is no defense for that. KG would be like Karl Anthony Towns, which isn’t bad.
@@ninjachannel007 Giannis would not dominate in any era. If he played in the 90s, where Power forwards were actually powerful, Giannis would be a small forward w/o a jump shot. And KG was KD before KD. So how tf would he be Karl Anthony Towns?
@@ninjachannel007 how would he be towns when he’s better than towns. More potent on offense, better mobility, better back to basket game, more athletic, way better defensively by miles !!! Kg’s toughness, passion, intensity, leadership is no match for towns. Your basketball iq is in question with that terrible take
@@Brooklyn11236 Giannis would eurostep right by the slow footed forwards of the 90's lmao. Don't diss Giannis he's legit. Also KG plays NOTHING like Kevin Durant lmao. Two very different play styles.
People don’t even realize that this version of KG is probably the only player ever that can successfully be the focal for a team on both ends of the court. On offense he could pass and shoot like a guard and thanks to his athleticism/touch he was very adept at finishing at the rim; meanwhile on the other end, he’s arguably the most versatile defender ever, a one man defensive blueprint. The variety of ways he could contribute to a team’s success was truly astonishing. I just wish the Wolves did a better job surrounding him with complementary talent during his prime.
@@selimevrengil7445agree. Bron was much more of an offensive engine than those two. Personally though I think KG’s skillset is more versatile offensively. But Dream could carry any offense.
@@Tib1010then you just didn't watch KG play. It's impossible to have watched KG play in his prime and just dismiss the opinion that he was better than Duncan so quickly like you did...
@@Seattlefan77 There is zero argument on who the best power forward of all time is. Tim Duncan literally clears in all areas and has done it for way longer
That's why I like Giannis Antetokounmpo in today's NBA, he just need to improve on FT% and Post Game like Kevin Garnett. But, Giannis already play defense like KG.
2004. = 32pts 21reb 5 blks 2024 = 64 pts 42 reb 10 blks I loved KG game I'm glad he got a ring but I wish he would've teamed up with that monster in LA they would've at least 3peated or maybe got 4 rings total together IMHO
I miss these match ups. Prime time KG vsing Chris Webber who was probably more on the come down, still had a really decent season. Both great in their positions duelling it out and the crowd buzzing. 3 pts in it and you can see once he missed it he was devastated. I just don’t find that intensity these days…
So tired of these blown up stats of today. Scoring 32 out of your teams 83 points is so much more impressive than scoring the same out of 110. If you scaled it up to today he would have around 45 points 28 rebs and 8 blocks.
The NBA was so fun to watch at this time. KG was a beast and at his peak during this point of his career.
Vs Tim Duncan vs C. Webb vs Dirk
Lol def wasn’t that fun to watch at this time
I’d argue this is one of the worst times of the NBA lol…

Defoisnt 55 but its a great game
Not true. You can’t tell me TMac would average 55
Maybe not 55 but it's like getting 40 in today's game definitely.
32 is around 38 and 40 lol, tmac averaged like 30 back then.
more like 36-38, but still
Legendary performance. I remember watching this series when I was 10
I just love the sound of that Crowd 🔥🔥
Well, they're back. Wolves have their best player, Anthony Edwards, who is playing like an MVP.
Who is here after the wolves won game 7, 20 years to the day. Against the defending champs, after coming back down 15 at half, 20 early in the third?
Im here wolves in 7
It's crazy that Kevin Harlan also called in this game too
✋️✋️
On Kevin Garnett's birthday as well!
I'm a couple days late but let's fucking go
KG WAS A BEAST
This might have been one of the most slept on performances in playoff history
I miss this era
KG is a monster

as a laker fan, had he got injured the season after yall beat us lol its hard to argue boston doesnt at minimum go back to back
We have come along way fellas. Like if you are pumped for game 7 tonight!!
Still watching 💪💪💪 September 30, 2024

@@Seattlefan77I’ve always said the same thing
If you look at where KG shot, he was lethal from like a foot inside the arc. He easily could have took a step back and been 37% or better from 3

That's how you play DEFENSE. This new generation not even close.
This was the last playoff series timberwolves have ever won almost 19 years ago wow
AE5 IS THE FUTURE
Until today beating the defending champions Denver Nuggets it took 20 years
Man if only someone taught Garnett that being behind that line on the floor means you get an extra point if you hit the shot.

No question his the MVP that season
The greatest power forward & most athletic power forward of all time... KEVIN GARNETT...
KG - the Lord of the Ring. And basket❤
The young KG the way he run the middle lane mane he would love todays pg cause they throwing that alley every time
4:49
Iconic
And exactly 20 years later...
C Webb - ask Dirk, Tim and Dirk, they know me real well. Bro ask TH-cam, KG always drilled you
20 years later
i see so many similarities in Bams game, except kg is not afraid to pull that trigger when hes open, bam has to look to score always!

Big Ticket . Elder wolf 🐺 ♡
‘We win it.’ (2024, WCSF)
You can say whatever you want about KG but he truly left it All out there and has been tremendous for the NBA even more so after he retired.
Still have my KG 2004 home jersey.
The only jersey I owned as a kid was a kg home Jersey I bought for $50 around 2003. I don’t know what happened to it
Lets go Wolves! Make history repeat itself. Antman!

Really sucks that Sam Cassell got hurt later though
We share the same birthday K.G

why did brad miller go up for a 2 with 6 seconds left down by three?? 🤣🤣
HE DESTROYED SACRAMENTO
4:48 imagine doing this to Chris Webber...and the explosion to the rim after.
Timberwolves 2024!
He was the first center to often take the ball up the court. Jokic before Jokic.
Timberwolves vs Nuggets 2nd round
deja vu again it will take 7 games and probably jokic or murray miss 3pts and twolves advance to wcf
More like they're going to get 🧹 now 😂
Well there will be game 7. Anthony Edwards doing at an MVP. Playing at a level like Kevin Garnett if not better.
Top 15 player ever KG
This is who Anthony Edward’s is compared to

That was a tough miss for C Webb at the buzzer he came up short way too many times tbh
2024 timberwolves win over nuggets 💪💪💪

Webber's agility no longer the same because of his knees.

Careful, you might have whiny Kings fanboys such as geekUSA and conesobruh, make all excuses why CWebb got his ass whooped by KG.
@@Theterminato2013nobody in their right mind thinks Webber is better than Garnett
