Timmy was such a handful that there was always a double team. KG's game allowed him to go out to the perimeter and not be doubled. My main take away from this.
Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA reading this im lowkey sad for KG. He was basically one of the best players of his generation but he did not really have legit help. The year he had an old Cassel and Sprewsll, he won MVP and took the Wolves to the WCF. When he went to Boston, he won DPOY and immediately won the championship, destroying the lakers in the 6th game.
These are two of my favorite players ever and this video was awesome! I would say that Tim's defense on KG was a little bit better than KG's defense on Tim. Even though KG has a couple of spectacular blocks, the Wolves were double-teaming Duncan every time. Also, Tim was able to contest almost all of KG's shot attempts and alter/disrupt A LOT of them. Two excellent all-around players!!!!!
Awesome video. Great rivalry. KG playing physical barking at duncan and slapping him but at the end of the day they give each other respect. Those two were so dominant in such different ways.
Timmy vs Shaq Timmy vs Garnett Timmy vs Kobe Timmy vs Nowitski He was always against these charismatic and intense players and only his 5RINGS prove how much better he is since he doesn't go around shoving people on court or yelling how great he is.
Timmy always got double team and he not only score by himself but also creat easy shot opportunity fot his teammates. This is the biggest difference between them.
Garnet was so alone in Minnesota, he is very talented but not properly trained before entering the NBA. Compare to Duncan who is properly trained and have full senior team mate support throughout his career.
Which is the better team buffoon? Look at the Team Kg Had Nobody And The coach was awful. Don't you know KG through his career under that coach was misused? Mindless drone
Duncan kept getting double teamed so duncan can't really go at KG the same way. KG not getting double teamed cuz they confident in Duncan's one on one defense
jefferson sevilla that's a good point hey man I did a video where I ask fans like yourself who they think was better check it out th-cam.com/video/kDvO5Hu6D1Q/w-d-xo.html
I wanted to see them go head to head in the 2004 WCF, but the Lakers ruined it. The Wolves with Garnett, Sprewell, and Cassell could have challenged the Spurs that year
I don't think we got to see the match up as much as we wanted sure Garnett made some great defensive play but most of the time Duncan got double teamed
Watching these highlights almost makes me wonder what it would be like if they traded places. I feel like Garnett got the better of Duncan for most of this video, imo Duncan had a better career overall (championship success aside) but I think Garnett's peak years may have been higher than Duncan's peak years. Very good matchup.
totally disagree. im sure dirk got the better of tim on some occasions. does that mean dirk is the greatest power forward of all time. tim is the goat because he was the best power forward for majority of his career. im sure tmac had better years than kobe. doesnt make tmac better than kobe.
+spursfan746 but they had great pieces and also had experienced players and a great coaching staff and franchise and also had a veteran by the name of Davis Robinson before he retires prior to the chip KG on the other hand carried a struggling team with chemistry problems and conflicts off the court to the WCF on his back
+Jerry dirk never got the best of Tim lml dirk can't play both sides of the court hes only an offensive player. Tim can play both sides of the court very effectively. Btw tmac faced injuries that eventually ended his career he faced bad luck throughout his career so he didn't get a chance to play at a high level consistently as other players performed in the nba. And if tmac hadn't got the bad luck he had Kobe wouldn't even b compared to Jordan he would b compared with tmac becuz imo they were both equally lethal on both sides of the court. So u can't really put Kobe and tmac on the same coin
Timmy never said a word to KG, who was acting like a fucking spaz the whole time he played against Timmy. Duncan definitely has the advantage head to head and in terms of career accomplishments no question.
Basically, Duncan was his best his first 5 years in the league, after 4 years of college. Kg grew every year, but this was his fault when he was young, he was too emotional and led to inconsistentcy and not taking the shots in the fourth. What non wolves fans might not know is Sam Mitchell told him to do all this yelling and craziness because Tim was going to be his rival for mvps and championships. People also forget Kg had the longest consecutive streak of double digit scoring since Jordan going when Duncan and he got ejected one game and Kg had 9 points. But eventually Kg became the the better player, even dirk was too. It really would be a what if had Kg not blown his knee out in 09, Celtics would have 3 peated for sure. Pop really saved Tim's knee all those years resting him and changing the offense for Parker and Ginobli.
KG's constant trash talking made him seem like he was afraid. But if i was playing tim id be scared too. tim>kg on any day. in their prime. as rookies. as 15 year vets. doesnt matter.
KG is better than Duncan. Duncan had David Robinson while KG was all by himself. Judge players by actually looking at the players and not the team. Duncan spent his prime with a big three while KG was in his final years and won with Paul Pierce as soon as he went to the Celtics he wasn't even in his prime....
in 2003, parker and ginobli were rookies, robinson averaged like 7 points 7 rebounds a game and TD won a chip with that team, one of only 3 players to win a chip with only 2 player averaging 10+ point per game. (the others being hakeem and jordan) SO even by your logic TD was better.
Tim Duncan is better than KG. Garnett even said it himself. Garnett was an awesome player. More athletic than Duncan and was a better jump shooter. His game was more wide open. The timberwolves ran a more free flowing offense, giving more opprtunities for assists as well. He was an outstanding help defender as well. But Duncan was stronger, had better footwork, better post moves, and significantly better defensive positioning. His abilty to make the correct play and be in the correct position is what allowed him to such an impact on games HIS ENTIRE CAREER. When KG lost his athleticism, he was just a talented veteran. But Tim did not need that to be elite. I guess you could pick your flavor, but unless you were looking for a passionate loudmouth, i cant see why you would pick Garnett over Duncan. No GM in history would pass on Duncan lol
Lol man... Garnett 1x mvp 2nd team all rookie (lol) 4x 1st team 3x 2nd team 2x 3rd team 12x all defensive team 1x ring (joined somebody elses team) 0x finals mvp Career PER 22.7 Duncan 2x mvp RotY (and all nba 1st team rookie year!) 10x 1st team 3x 2nd team 2x 3rd team 15x all defensive team 5x rings (centrepiece of dynasty) 3x finals mvp Career PER 24.2 Besides "bitching out" and "being a fake tough guy", is there isnt much KG was better at. Tim Duncan had a 22.6 PER when he was 38. KG HAD A CAREER 22.7!!!!! Bitch please LMFAO... Go take your ghetto love for KG and gtfo. He cant compare to Duncan lol. I mean, he was a great player, but cmon. You just lost bro.
Timmy was such a handful that there was always a double team. KG's game allowed him to go out to the perimeter and not be doubled. My main take away from this.
+Nicklas Mudymba kg torched his ass down low too
if you provoque double team and beat them a lot of great things happen in the POs
KG didn't get to the line nor get his opponent in foul trouble........Iverson won an MVP by getting to the line.
Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA reading this im lowkey sad for KG. He was basically one of the best players of his generation but he did not really have legit help. The year he had an old Cassel and Sprewsll, he won MVP and took the Wolves to the WCF. When he went to Boston, he won DPOY and immediately won the championship, destroying the lakers in the 6th game.
@Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA AD is overrated if you ask me. No leadership. Kind of inconsistent too
Love both styles, Garnett energy, Duncan fundamentals
These are two of my favorite players ever and this video was awesome! I would say that Tim's defense on KG was a little bit better than KG's defense on Tim.

Timmy vs Shaq

Timmy vs Nowitski

5 rings over 19 years.
Timmy didn't dominate 2014 Bosh
Didn't dominate vs the Cupcake Cavs. In fact they locked him up
Timmy always got double team and he not only score by himself but also creat easy shot opportunity fot his teammates. This is the biggest difference between them.
amazing match up
amazing video thank you
0:55 OG grey fox Popovich sighting
Garnet was so alone in Minnesota, he is very talented but not properly trained before entering the NBA.
Compare to Duncan who is properly trained and have full senior team mate support throughout his career.
Very well said
I just like how Duncan is ALWAYS being double teamed. Garnett rarley faces the double.
Telling....
Which is the better team buffoon? Look at the Team Kg Had Nobody And The coach was awful.
Don't you know KG through his career under that coach was misused? Mindless drone
@@lupefiasco653
Why is it that everyone that prefers KG to Duncan barely speaks English?
Telling...
Nobody better on the low block. Unstoppable!
Great memories :)
Duncan kept getting double teamed so duncan can't really go at KG the same way. KG not getting double teamed cuz they confident in Duncan's one on one defense
Duncan also for the most part defended KG, while KG defends Robinson for the majority of these games.
have you even watched the video, whenever KG got past Duncan there is always help defense.
Very nice video man. Subbed
KG better than TD?
Have you seen KG outplayed shaq?
If you hadnt then how do you say he can outplay TD?
jefferson sevilla that's a good point hey man I did a video where I ask fans like yourself who they think was better check it out th-cam.com/video/kDvO5Hu6D1Q/w-d-xo.html
No, no we never saw Garnett outplay Shaq, and Kobe, Phil Jackson, and the rest of the 3peat Lakers by himself. No we didn’t see that you fucking moron
Yes I have wtf
Tim Duncan is better than Kevin Garnett
People that said KG was better than Duncan are probably blind. Tim Duncan double teamed most of that position while KG double teamed way less
I remember you had to order this on PPV before TNT decided to make it free after this season.
I wanted to see them go head to head in the 2004 WCF, but the Lakers ruined it. The Wolves with Garnett, Sprewell, and Cassell could have challenged the Spurs that year
I don't think we got to see the match up as much as we wanted sure Garnett made some great defensive play but most of the time Duncan got double teamed
Whenever Garnett got past Duncan he has to face help defense too. Duncan gets double teamed more because he stayed inside more.
Duncan could provide more wide open to his teammates. KG couldn't
This is why they didn't play Tim 1-on-1: th-cam.com/video/FB7XD8km7L0/w-d-xo.html
Watching these highlights almost makes me wonder what it would be like if they traded places. I feel like Garnett got the better of Duncan for most of this video, imo Duncan had a better career overall (championship success aside) but I think Garnett's peak years may have been higher than Duncan's peak years.

Tim duncan won a chip with no all stars in 2003!!! Kg never amounted to anything near this.
+spursfan746 but they had great pieces and also had experienced players and a great coaching staff and franchise and also had a veteran by the name of Davis Robinson before he retires prior to the chip KG on the other hand carried a struggling team with chemistry problems and conflicts off the court to the WCF on his back

So u can't really put Kobe and tmac on the same coin
clamp _25GoD no all stars, pieces 2003 and won a championship. For comparison Lebron is 1-5 all time vs 50 win competition without all stars.
They just seem like polar opposites. Same number jersey same height. But Duncan is meek and tries to keep a level head, KG is aggressive in his play.
Garnett is two inches taller.
Timmy never said a word to KG, who was acting like a fucking spaz the whole time he played against Timmy. Duncan definitely has the advantage head to head and in terms of career accomplishments no question.
Garnett hit a bank shot on Duncan at 4:10
Basically, Duncan was his best his first 5 years in the league, after 4 years of college. Kg grew every year, but this was his fault when he was young, he was too emotional and led to inconsistentcy and not taking the shots in the fourth. What non wolves fans might not know is Sam Mitchell told him to do all this yelling and craziness because Tim was going to be his rival for mvps and championships.

And truthfully TD was really a center he had to play PF cause of the admiral, and Duncan is not the best PF ever he's up there but not 1
Lol okay.
I love KG but TD was better but there was about a 5 year span where KG was the best PF
KG's constant trash talking made him seem like he was afraid. But if i was playing tim id be scared too.
tim>kg on any day. in their prime. as rookies. as 15 year vets. doesnt matter.
So you’re saying Duncan was better because KG talks trash. Yeah that makes sense, I’ll buy that
Paddy O no he is saying tim is better cuz he plays better lmao
"KG's constant trash talking made him seem like he was afraid"
KG>Duncan
duncan>>> kg
KG is better than Duncan. Duncan had David Robinson while KG was all by himself. Judge players by actually looking at the players and not the team.

Zion Vain just hold this L after that rant you had
