+mazz& piuz stop he always been better than Duncan these last past years doesn't mean anything everybody has to decline one day kg recently did bout 2 years ago, in now look at Duncan just average
Glad he at least got 1 ring, but goddamn if Minnie had built a better team around him during his prime he could have brought 2 or 3 to that city. Dude was so talented.
+hazeddon it's hard to convince a good free agent to play for the Wolves, insn't it? Would you decide to play for the Lakers, Bulls or Knicks or to play for Minny instead
Aelbereth Can't argue with that logic, I mean unless I was good friends with KG or was actually from Minnesota why would I chose Minnie(and it's lovely weather) over LA? But there are other ways to build a championship team, look at San Antonio. Prior to signing Lamarcus Aldridge, I think most of their team either came from the draft of Europe.
They both are good. Garnett and Duncan both played power forwards but both had completely different styles to it. Garnett played more of a small forward/power forward style and roamed the floor while Duncan was more of a power forward/center and dominated the interior part of the floor. Both had weaknesses and strengths to their games. Garnett was really athletic and roamed the floor a lot. He could go both perimeter and post. That was his strength. His main "weakness" was not being as effective in the interior part of the floor. He didn't have a dominating post game, he could go post, but it wasn't as dominant. Duncan was the opposite, his "weakness" was not being able to roam the floor that much. The farther away from the basket he was, the easier it is to take advantage of him. He wasn't as fast, but he used his IQ and skills to dominate the inside. Duncan had the dominating post game that you would want in a big man. Garnett was 50% perimeter, while 50% post. Dunan was more like 25% perimeter, but 75% post. Garnett had a better range with his shots, while Duncan was able to bang inside consistently. Both were EQUALLY GOOD with their own way of succeeding as a power forward. The real question is, not who's "greater", but who would you want to build a team around?
Used to be my favorite player. Dude was loyal to the franchise and played with so much heart. Seeing that speech after he won his first NBA championship is a personal favorite as far as NBA moments go. "Anything is possible"
Garnett was 10-15 years ahead of his time. If he played now he'd be playing full time center, shooting threes, bringing the ball up and dribbling through his legs, running pick and rolls occasionally, and switching onto guards and wings. Hell, I could imagine a creative coach sicking him on somebody like LeBron or Durant for a game.
I grew up watching him in his prime with Minnesota. He will forever be my most favorite basketball player. I was emotional while watching his jersey retirement in Boston. I am still hoping that soon, Minnesota will do the same for KG's No. 21. 💜
Crazy statline he put up that year, goes under the radar too. 50% from the field, 24/14/5 with 1.5 steals and 2+ blocks per game. Son put up similar numbers year prior with 6 assists....let's not forget he'd check the other team's best player, even perimeter guys like T Mac in his heyday. Complete player
As a Laker fan, I remember that season pretty well. I hated when the Lakes had to go up against him. His jumper was goin in every time cause he had so much length it was just impossible to contest it. Truly one of the greats. If KG had more or at least as many rings as Duncan, he'd be considered the greatest power forward of all time.
My favorite PF of all time. The most intense fearless basketball player I've ever seen. Even Rubio said he was scared and happy at the same time when he heard the news lol.
As a sports fan and resident of the Twin Cities. KG was so amazing to watch grow up right in front of my eyes. It's sad that the Timber Wolves were and still are such a poorly run organization. Even though I was a Wolves fan, I was happy when KG left for the Celtic's . He deserved a Championship. Thanks Kevin!
KG had a monster season in which he was both a top offensive player and defensive player in the entire league. He came extremely close to a unanimous MVP year, with Jermaine O'Neal getting 2 first place votes and Peja getting obe vote.
KG was my favorite player for a long time. A part of me felt like I won an nba championship in 2008 because I was so proud he won one. He will be missed.
Kevin Garnett is truly one of my hero's on and off the court, his story is truly inspiring and motivating. He believes in working a 9 to 5. His passion on the court is something we could all use in our real lives. Kevin Garnett FUTURE Hall Of Famer! Love you KG! NBA
I don't remember who else was on the Timberwolves, but KG made it to the Western Conference Finals - for the first time in his career - with Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell. This man was truly an MVP that season.
anyone else remembers when KG at his prime used to play point guard for the wolves?? and was good at it. bringing the ball down, calling plays. had a great number of assists every game.
One of the most loyal players ever 💚😘 he played for more than 10 seasons for the T-Wolves and made them a championship-caliber team, before moving to my beloved Celtics, and the rest is (another) history 💚🏆
He is fierce, his tenacity is lethal. He plays every single game like its the playoff. He can play both ends of the court. Superb role model for the next generation of players to look up upon. He has to coach blake and give blake that KG touch on the ball
As a Minnesota fan it's a shame they've never built anything around their superstars. KG carried them to the postseason in his prime and I was happy for him when he won in Boston cuz he deserved it.
if Stephon Marbury stayed in Minnesota with KG, the Timberwolves would've been title contenders in the west against the Lakers, Spurs, Kings, Mavericks. Marbury would've been a hall of fame caliber player. KG carried the Timberwolves for 12 years alone like LeBron carried Cleveland for 7 years, they led their teams in the major categories points, rebounds, assists, blocks,& steals
I'm a Detroit guy threw and threw.. But my heart BLEEDS for KG. nothing but respect and love for that man. I always wanted KG around 06-07 to join the Pistons and Billups and KG have one more ride together. When Big Ben took off to Chicago. we would of had Prince.. Rip... Billups...Rasheed Wallace and Kevin Garnett. Would of been awesome.
Grew up watching him my entire life. Always made sure I wore the same number jersey in little league ball. He was my idol. The "Big Ticket". When they traded him, I was sad. But when he won a title, I knew he deserved it.
old NBA fans be like "the 80s and 90s were so much tougher" 1) PPG and FG % were higher 2) zone defense and trapping were illegal 3) the 3 PT line was moved in by almost 2 feet at one point 4) the 30-52 Bulls made the playoffs in the mid 80s but since you could handcheck and 2 teams out of 30 played physical defense it must've been harder!!!!!
Even the most zone heavy teams play zone roughly 20% of the time, it really is a non factor... The one fact that you're ignoring is that before the rule changes a player could legally camp his ass in the paint all game and lay wood on anyone who came near. The 80s wasn't a particularly strong era outside of a few teams, but the 90s was and still remains the best decade for basketball. And the disparity in FG% is primarily due to less 3pt shooting, the TS% (which takes into account treys and FTs as well as standard goals) of this decade is higher than any other. Disparity in PPG has more to do with the amount of possessions (pace) than the actual defense played. Plus, like the other guy mentioned, there is not a stat that will show you how much more physical the game was. This is where "watching the game" comes into play.
Scoring and shooting percentages were definitely not higher for the 90s. That's the whole reason they tried moving the 3pt line closer, hoping it'd make that shot easier and boost scoring. It took until like a decade later to realize (partly due to the 7 Seconds Or Less era Suns) that they needed to change rules to be more guard friendly. That's why you look at the NBA scoring leaders right now and see a bunch of guys 6'6" and under. You go back 30 or even 20 years and there's no way you see a couple of point guards up that high in scoring average
So we rate players based on how passionate they are? lmao. i guess Joakim Noah is better than Tim Duncan too because he's more "passionate" and "intense". Not only are his accolades better, but so are his career averages. I'm not sure how his accolades are "fooling" anybody.
Very Nice if Tim wasn't in the spurs system he wouldn't be as decorated.. is wtf I'm saying Kg is waaay better I wouldn't want a big soft fundamental player over a gangly Angry power forward who can stretch the floor and gaurd anybody ...
And the passion of the game is why and how most players get to the NBA but I'm sure Tim was just the tall kid who could shoot and move while kg came out of highschool had to get better and grow while he was in the NBA watch kg play defense then watch Tim play defense you will see
The fact that the timberwolves just were not able to build a contending team for this man is a shame. Honestly one of the best pf in the history of the league
"Prime" KG was a dream for people who played fantasy basketball, constant 20-10 guy who can also pass, defend, had a better mid-range shot than Josh Smith, and can still take it to the hole. Also, that post fade away? Before Dirk's, there was KG's (I'm sure there were others, but just give me this moment. He's my guy, man!).
what players are criticised for: kobe : ballhog and volume shooter lebron: intangables ( not as of late doe) melo kd: defense dwight and deandre : freethrows griffin: post moves shaq: no jumper, freethrows brook lopez and Al jeff : rebounding KG in his prime was good/ great in every single thing, playmaking rebounding king, scoring, defense, seting picks, hustling, leadership, comunication, heart, shooting, thras talking Got nothing but respect for KG!! leading the league in reboun % last 2 years and hes allmost 40 Most complete big man ever
Duncan? One of the best if not better than Kevin Garnett in his prime. Definitely the most complete Power Forward in the game for sure, he had Rebounds, Free Throws, a jump shot, can still hustle, can still set picks and everything. Him and KG are definitely two of the greatest.
Christopher Jhagroo as I always stated, look at the games, not the stats. The stats only tell half the story. Shareef Abdur Rahim had better stats than Rasheed Wallace. Did that make him better?????? Bill Russell has more rings that Michael Jordan, does that make him better? Y'all need to lay off the stats. Stats are for people that are too lazy to look at what happened officially in their games. I witnessed them both play in their primes. And if you look at the stats, you'll see that Garnette dominates duncan in everything except for blocks and points.
LilPrince Killa Duncan 3 time Finals MVP, Garnett 0 Finals MVP, Duncan 2 time MVP, Garnett 1 time MVP, Duncan 15 time All Star, Garnett 15 time All Star, Duncan 5 Championships, Garnett 1 Championship, Duncan 10 time NBA All first team, Garnett 4 time NBA all fist team, Duncan 8 time Defensive First Team, Garnett 9 time Defensive First Team, Garnett 1 Time Defensive Player of the Year, Duncan 0, Garnett 4 time Rebounds leader, Duncan 0, Duncan Rookie of The Year, Garnett nothing, Duncan has more points per season, rebounds per season, and more blocks per season for his career than Garnett. Garnett has more assists, and steals per season for his career than Duncan.
Kg is the reason i watched nba and follow it ever since. I remember as a kid putting up a giant poster of his face wearing a sweater on the wall of my parents house and everyone walked in and saw it was shocked and scared like who's this black dude with shiny with teeth on the wall. Nobody knows what nba is let alone actually knew that's garnett, a basketball player, and the 2004 MVP.
People don’t remember how disgusting Garnett in his prime was my man led his trash team in every stat possible only 5 players in the nba have accomplished that
Those are the best jerseys ever, ever since I was 8 I always wanted a timberwolves Jersey they always looked so cool, and to this day I still think there cool tbh mainly because it’s unique, it has its own design
Ballers Net AnYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
JAY MULA he is the best pf, 12 years with the wolves, he made the playoffs 8 times in that time, leads the franchise in almost every stat, his teammates in that 12 years with the wolves, only 3 made the all star in 12 years, 3, never won a ring in Minnesota because he didnt had one good teammate who could help him, he did every thing for them, thats why he was the mvp in 2003-2004. Duncan had Robinson, Manu Ginóbili, Tony Parker, kahwi leonard...
Even if David, Manu and Parker were not in their prime in 2003, Duncan was still able to carry them and won the champion. If TD was replaced by KG, Spurs would not win the title. I don't think that Manu and Parker in 2003 were better than Spree and Cassell in 2004.... (And dont forget KG had Brandon and Wally in 2001) KG 's offense skill could not be reliable in playoff. His teamates could not got wide open chance. That's why his team could not produce high quality play and chemistry.
I feel like KG’s Celtic years have kind of overshadowed his T-Wolf years because he played in bigger games and his relation with MIN isn’t great. But to me this is KG at his best.
People forget just how good KG was with the Timberwolves crazy good. If the owners put a real team around him people would talk about him like Tim Duncan.
#21 For the T-Wolves is probably the best Power Foward to ever wear the Number, time duncan WHO? Kg is and always will be the best PF of ALLTime, #GPFOAT. #TheTicketHasSpoken
Only won one championship but he's played like a champion his entire career.
one is better than none.
100% agree!!!!!
Andrew Murray good point. The big three Miami and the Jordan era Bulls maybe disagree, but good point nonetheless.
The Timberwolves wasted him
Connor Murphy bff

been my favorite player since 2nd grade
Well if it weren't for Duncan, he'd be the best PF of all time in my book
Nima Mohseni he's better than Duncan. Duncan just has more accolades.
MoneyOverFame Duncan was a team player he didn't really care about stats
24ppg, 14rpg, 5apg, 2bpg...those are insane statlines in a season. He also had a chance to win DPOY that year too
He can do it all
Dribble, pass, long range, drive, post, perimeter defense, block, rebounds
Who won dpoy that year?

Can we just agree than Tim Duncan And KG are both elite in their OWN way?
Exactly. They are both first ballot HOF power forwards but they played the game completely different. You can't really compare then fairly.
They both are good. Garnett and Duncan both played power forwards but both had completely different styles to it.

Insecure Garnett fans up in this.
why insecure?
alpha1379 Afraid of comparing Garnett to Duncan.
That jersey so cold, shouldve kept em.
Yup, all the jerseys now have absolutely no design. Even the jerseys in the 60's and 70's were better.
yea i completely agree.
Ness Rosenbrad But since the league is soft as shit (pun intended), let the shitty jerseys match the style of play.
Still use similar ones from time to time. Atleast the black ones with green outlines, not the same lettering tho/:
those were the best jerseys in the leage

The reason why I watched NBA. Way back 2007-2008 season. I was grade 6 at that time. And now I'm in college. Thank you KG.
Same bro! KG! The big ticket!
My first favourite NBA player and still is...the man who can do it all...
Kevin Garnett in his prime would annihilate any of today’s bigs.
Garnett was 10-15 years ahead of his time. If he played now he'd be playing full time center, shooting threes, bringing the ball up and dribbling through his legs, running pick and rolls occasionally, and switching onto guards and wings. Hell, I could imagine a creative coach sicking him on somebody like LeBron or Durant for a game.
I grew up watching him in his prime with Minnesota. He will forever be my most favorite basketball player. I was emotional while watching his jersey retirement in Boston. I am still hoping that soon, Minnesota will do the same for KG's No. 21. 💜
One of the greatest PF's ever.
True.
true
Actually he is the greatest power forward of all-time. If he played for the Spurs he would've gotten those rings that Duncan have (or even more)
@@MozTheBoz That’s cap.
@@RetroNBA42 nah that's a fact
The literal spirit of The Timberwolves Franchise
17 years later and this is still the most relevant thing in timberwolves history

Abigail Weller The commissioner always presents the MVP award in front of the home crowd
Do ya watch basketball
Shark B Maybe its because I dont really have a way to see the first game of the playoffs so I didnt think they still did it
I don't think there ever will be another player who has this much love for the game as KG.
Kevin Garnett reminds me of Dmx
im glad this channel shows these kinda vids. The kids of today who were still in diapers back then can learn a thing or two about who KG really was.
old NBA fans be like "the 80s and 90s were so much tougher"
1) PPG and FG % were higher
2) zone defense and trapping were illegal
3) the 3 PT line was moved in by almost 2 feet at one point
4) the 30-52 Bulls made the playoffs in the mid 80s
but since you could handcheck and 2 teams out of 30 played physical defense it must've been harder!!!!!
you could also be yourself which is 100% against the rules nowadays.
Even the most zone heavy teams play zone roughly 20% of the time, it really is a non factor...

Plus, like the other guy mentioned, there is not a stat that will show you how much more physical the game was. This is where "watching the game" comes into play.
Maybe because the NBA actually had great bigmen who could do some damage in the paint. Also they didn't have a 3 second rule
Scoring and shooting percentages were definitely not higher for the 90s. That's the whole reason they tried moving the 3pt line closer, hoping it'd make that shot easier and boost scoring.
It took until like a decade later to realize (partly due to the 7 Seconds Or Less era Suns) that they needed to change rules to be more guard friendly. That's why you look at the NBA scoring leaders right now and see a bunch of guys 6'6" and under.

i loved seeing kg play i used to stay up on school nights to watch him in the playoffs...i was so glad he was able to get one ring with the celtics
Never gets mentioned but is still in my top 5. KG was ferocious on the court that left it all out there every night... and that elbow jumper was wet.
Free my nigga dawkins NBA #FreeDawkin #freedawkinschampan
Nigga shut yo ignoramus ass up
made my day seeing this #givethismanajob
What happened to his page?
Favorite player to ever step onto the court.
KG is a beast!!!The absolute best maestro for a team...
He is so underrated
KG Duncan Malone and Barkley... Greatest PFs to ever play the game. All of em were so damn talented.
I remember him in NBA Live 03... MAN WAS A BEAST
Kg is the reason i watched nba and follow it ever since. I remember as a kid putting up a giant poster of his face wearing a sweater on the wall of my parents house and everyone walked in and saw it was shocked and scared like who's this black dude with shiny with teeth on the wall. Nobody knows what nba is let alone actually knew that's garnett, a basketball player, and the 2004 MVP.
People don’t remember how disgusting Garnett in his prime was my man led his trash team in every stat possible only 5 players in the nba have accomplished that
Welcome back KG. My all time favorite PF. Glad to see you back in a timberwolves uniform! :D
Garnett was a monster I miss those jerseys too
Those are the best jerseys ever, ever since I was 8 I always wanted a timberwolves Jersey they always looked so cool, and to this day I still think there cool tbh mainly because it’s unique, it has its own design
i dunno why but he's one player i wont miss watching..
ANYTHINGS POSSIBLE!!!!!
Ballers Net AnYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Khánh Nguyễn superteam of players past their prime?right
if he left Minnesota Timberwolves earlier he been best PF in NBA history
Nah, he love minnesota
give slight edge to Tim Duncan both are 1st ballot HOF
+JAY MULA Yeah
JAY MULA he is the best pf, 12 years with the wolves, he made the playoffs 8 times in that time, leads the franchise in almost every stat, his teammates in that 12 years with the wolves, only 3 made the all star in 12 years, 3, never won a ring in Minnesota because he didnt had one good teammate who could help him, he did every thing for them, thats why he was the mvp in 2003-2004.
Duncan had Robinson, Manu Ginóbili, Tony Parker, kahwi leonard...
Even if David, Manu and Parker were not in their prime in 2003, Duncan was still able to carry them and won the champion. If TD was replaced by KG, Spurs would not win the title.
I don't think that Manu and Parker in 2003 were better than Spree and Cassell in 2004.... (And dont forget KG had Brandon and Wally in 2001)
KG 's offense skill could not be reliable in playoff. His teamates could not got wide open chance. That's why his team could not produce high quality play and chemistry.
Didn't expect a summary of Sam Cassell' s on court antics. Did appreciate it though.
That was a baddddd boy. Happy retirement.
My favorite of all time
Looks like he forgot to take the coathanger out at 0:58
Dayum you right
Lol bro you stupid af😂😂
+Andrew Fitzgerald
pretty sure those are just big ass shoulder pads
I feel like KG’s Celtic years have kind of overshadowed his T-Wolf years because he played in bigger games and his relation with MIN isn’t great. But to me this is KG at his best.
LOVE HIM
My favorite player. Badass in the game and in interviews 😂
#a legend one of the all time best!
This brings me back.
he's on my top 10 players of all time
We will miss you KG
*reigning mvp*
I miss those days
Kevin Garnett, seriously. Oldies 95.7
Prime Kevin Garnett with superstar teammates in Twolves = 2 or 3 rings
2003 to 2005 he was the best player in the NBA
Can't stand this dude, but he's top 20 ever. Most versatile big man of all time.
HUGE W!!!
One of my favorite player. In my top 5 greatest player of all time. MJ, Kobe, T-Mac, Shaq & KG. Who is gonna beat that. No body.
Never gonna forget the 08 finals, good times
People forget just how good KG was with the Timberwolves crazy good. If the owners put a real team around him people would talk about him like Tim Duncan.
Kevin Garnett is the greatest PF of all-time behind The Big Fundamental
that thumbnail is the best thing ever
This should be called “flashback interview”
Thank You KG
Easy for some to forget how unstoppable he was back then
#21 For the T-Wolves is probably the best Power Foward to ever wear the Number, time duncan WHO? Kg is and always will be the best PF of ALLTime, #GPFOAT. #TheTicketHasSpoken
I want more like this.!!!!
Best PF of all time
Dirk, Duncan and KG all great in their own ways.
