His ability to Defend, Rebound, Shoot, Energize, Pass, Dunk, Block and understanding the fundamentals of this beautiful game demands respect of any true Basketball fan. His love, passion and tenacity for the game is incomparable.
Thank You KG for 21 years to watch you play.
Sincerely from a Raptors Fan.
I still have a pair of his shoes. One of my first ball shoes I ever owned. Was never a boston fan but I loved to watch him play
Nothing to add👏👏👏(go raps)
His one ring is worth more than kd’s two rings
The Man Chris Bosh clearly got his game from. Minus the mentally tho and OP Defense 😔
@four1sixRaps The guy without a doubt is a first ballot hall of famer
Half the highlights are defense. Love it.
Top comment brotha!!!
Rence Fabian so the other half is offense lol
RIGHT? for me blocks have always been the best part of beasketball
Lio L Gobert is defo not at KG’s level but he is very elite.
@@yesmymajestybut898 FR
When I was growing up. I could never watch a full game. KG literally made me get up and go outside to play ball. He gave me so much energy from just watching him. Full sweat just from his warm up drills. He was coming to eat your heart out. The intensity was so real I couldn’t sit in the house anymore. No other player had this effect on me.
yea
I swear 💯
Facts bro
Yep
90s early 00s players are way tougher then today’s player I seen a lot of players that had that dog in them growing up it’s only a handful of payers that got that dog in them today
it's definitely the opal
Terence Patrick Repelente What?
Bro I pulled that card from a pack first try , like when the anniversary KG packs came out , the first one I opened I got him 😂😂
Uncut gems Movie
😭😭😭😭😭 just finished the movie
@@Blavase same
Only player to be in the top 50 in career Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, and Blocks
2021 HOF class has to be the best ever
@Gary Thompson he did face olajuwon duncan robinson shaq dirk soooooooooo
They didn't always record blocks or steals, so there's a lot of guys who could have been up there in the top 50 but never got to be. Guys like Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell are two excellent examples.
@@syncmonism you listed those guys what about all the 80s and 90s hall of famers who never listed in the the top 50 of steals/blocks/assists/points/rebounds
@@syncmonism bill and wilt are the only 2 that matter from that era nobody else matters
bro he in the 2020 hfm class with TIM DUNCAN and KOBE. lets goo 2020 hfm class is LIT
Kills me to see the 90's generation slowly die out. Kobe, KG and Duncan forever gonna be missed 😞🏀
more like early 2000 generation
ik all the hard real competitors are gone :( we got westbrook atleast
First Kobe, then now Tim and Kevin, NBA will never be the same :/. Gonna miss them days man. Now only waiting for Vinsanity and Nowitzki retirement.
Then Wade, he'll be 35 in Jan
There goes our childhood
Kevin Garnet can:
Block
Shoot
Rebound
Steal
Dunk
Dribble
Pass
Read and create plays
Infiltrate and break down plays
And can go end to end solo if he wishes.
Man is definitely one of the GREATEST
And can defend 1-5
Kevin handnaman , former TV and radio announcer of the Timberwolves once called one of Garnett's dunks,"The high hard one!!"
Fun fact, Kevin Garnett is one of only three players to lead their team in every statistical category in a season
Other two?
@@TC-yx1qt Lebron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo
@@zach1389 It's crazy what Giannis is doing at such a young age
@@TC-yx1qt ofcourse it’s Lebron 🤣
That was during his MVP season?
One of the most complete players ever, in his prime. He had no weaknesses. Athleticism, shooting, strength, footwork, finishing, post game, rebounding, defense.. he had everything.
Eh I’d say strength is kinda a weakness but then again it’s kinda mitigated because he’s a good mid range shooter
@@barrybshrekson864 naw man he might not look it but kg was actually pretty fuckin strong no bs
@@barrybshrekson864 bro KG was yolked
@@lilsuge9199 only dudes i ever seen bother KG was Karl Malone and Shaq otherwise he was strong as a mfer. Kinda built like Giannis
he wasn’t a sharpshooter though. he could get the clutch midrange or long fade but he wasn’t amazing from three
Vince Carter may be the King of Dunking... but KG is an epic master of the angry dunk. No joke.
Man, and he dunk so fast too.
Westbrook?
@@johnrodrical2807 king of the angry dunk will always be a big man. Westbrook is a contender but KG was moving huge men out of the way.
Latrell Sprewell and his Angry tomahawk dunks as a contender
Deregaurd the others who don't know but I watched his whole NBA career and you're absolutely right, there were others in this category but they weren't like KG
I don’t care what anyone thinks, this man is objectively the best power forward that’s ever played the game of basketball.
Him and Tim Duncan in my opinion. I'm grateful that I grew up in the Era to watch them in their primes. They were amazing.
He’s def top 3, arguably one. Change it to most complete pf ever and you win hands down.
ive always said this and my boys would cook me. big ticket the goat, timmy is 2nd
KG in his prime is arguably the most complete player ever. Dude is the textbook definition of versatility.
he just lacks the accolades needed for people to realize that he is atleast on par with Duncan, sad to see so many prime years wasted
The passion, intensity, skill, along with raw talent that he played with was a true joy to watch and is most appreciated now that he is retired...
That Hall of Fame class is loaded! lit asf.
+Breathitt County roy had maybe 3 good yrs
What's the point of commenting that
+Breathitt County yeah i ducked it
Now only waiting for Vinsanity and Nowitzki retirement.
LeBron had to form two big 3's to win his chips, Kobe had to have Shaq then Gasol, Duncan had Robinson then Parker and Ginobli. Even Jordan didn't win until Pippen became an all-star caliber player. So you can't bash Garnett and especially Iverson because they never had that kind of help.
As a LAL fan I hated this sob for taking our hopes for a title in 08 , but now after all these years I know that I've witnessed one of the greatest PF ever, #ThankyouKG
*2010
Yeah It was
Steve bilman just off actual skill and ability he might actually be the greatest.
Now a Hall of Famer. Congrats KG! Most intense player I’ve ever watched
One of the greatest 2way players of all time & my favorite power forward of all time 💯💯
I was a huge fan of KG when he was in Minnesota. He could do everything on the court and was so versatile but his teams weren't good enough to win it all aside from that 2003-04 season. He never demanded a trade from that team even when they were awful during his final years. When the Celtics beat L.A. in '08 I hated seeing my team lose the way they did but was happy that The Big Ticket had finally won. You don't see many players that have his heart and passion for the game.
LakersDynasty42 damn I thought I was the only 1 who was upset Lakers loss being a fan but was happy to see kg get a ring.
Anything is possible...ANYTHING IS POSSIBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLEEEEE!!!! ~KG
Best PF to play the game. 💯
@@ah00dii85 Not to mention KG immediately shouted out to the fans from Minny the minute he realized he was an NBA champ. MN was lucky to have him, as was Boston.
My favorite NBA player of all time. Without him the Timberwolves could've been in Seattle by now. Twolves nation loves you KG
He easily is a top 5 defender of all time he could guard a point guard the entire game
he was a 7"0f pg/sg.lol
Lol he was amazing but not top 5 defender of all time. 5 players better than him off the top of my head are Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Bill Russell, and Hakeem.
Sean jones facts lol
Future
According to that ESPN score thing..
PG: Walt Frazier
SG: Michael Jordan [Kobe 4th]
SF: Scottie Pippen [James/Bird are 4th 5th respectively]
PF: Duncan, Rodman, KG. In order.
C: Bill Russell - he should have 10/10 defensive poty just sucks they didn't exist yet.
...because of varying duties, we'll say, players are compared via position.
Not sure how the scale is actually constructed nor saying I agree with it all - but KG is ranked a lot higher than you're giving him credit.
The greatest and most complete power forward who ever played this game and I love how he just doesn't block the ball he catches it after the block
I love KG, he always play with passion and tough.
Kobe, Duncan and KG. So sad they're all leaving.... but what a hall of fame class GOD DAMN!!
ikr
Vince Carter on the way too haha
😭😭
Don't forget Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady
This aged very well
My favorite player ever you'll be missed kg 💯
Every night was a bar fight for KG! #ThankYouKG
me too
mine too man
he was a ultimate trash talker doe
Same man. Always wanted a KG T-Wolves jersey-shirt and never got one. Yesterday I ordered one once I heard the news.
people really forget how good young Dirk, kg, and Duncan really were.
Probably because most young fans (such as myself) were too young to watch late 90s-early 00s live. All three were old by the time I started watching.
@@bencarlson4300 but the problem is ur generation seems to think that the players u see now are better than everyone from the past. We never used to do that in 2000 - like 2007 days.
Because HD footage isn't available
@@M1GarandPing Recency bias is why so many people are putting Curry top 5 and LeBron #1
The west was absolutely stacked, for the Wolves in the playoffs it was pick your poison. Lakers, Spurs, Kings. If the team could have gotten a bit more talent supporting KG they could have been on that level.
KEVIN GARNETT'S ANGRY FACE IS THE WAY OF HIM SHOWING PASSION FOR HIS JOB AS A BASKETBALL PLAYER. THE MOST PASSIONATE PLAYER OF THE 2000's and 2010's! BRING BACK BACK PASSION IN THE NBA!
KG body frame kinda look like terminator exoskeleton
Or Mr X
He was ripped to the bone. He probably benched 360 pounds and you kids think he was skinny.
@@soullessSiIence he was skinny, but he had that wiry strength. One of the strongest PFs in the game at his prime like Duncan was.
@@soullessSiIence You do realize you can be skinny and strong at the same time?
Pilot foreal lmao
If kg was a coach he'd kill his players with his work ethic 😂💯💯💯💯
Him and Kobe are the best when it comes to work ethic
Kg will never be a coach
@@jimjim3979 Jordan as well has a Elite Elite Work ethic
@@chrisdadrilla And Lebron and Butler
@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 Yea also Lebron as well, But Kobe and Jordan takes it to the next level, especially Kobe.
Awesome to hear “we might be witnessing the birth of a superstar” when my whole life basically he was one of the best at his position
Absolutely loved watching this guy play back in the day for the T-Wolves. He could literally do it all. He would block a shot at one end and then either throw down a one-handed dunk or nail a three at the other end.
It's crazy how Garnett can just grab the ball in midair!
It's down to that handsize of his, the man has some CLAAWSS on him
gugestein Lol is that from 2k17?
GenieGNEE You know it loool, well done picking it up.
gugestein Hahah thanks! I just watched it on Chris Smoove
50 plays for every season kg played in the nba
w
keep your rings
oh yeah
Watched him play for the Celtics growing up and been obsessed with basketball ever since
damn prime kg will school anthony davis anytime anywhere.
true that. AD has been depending too much on Bron lately.
@@mezcalderon stfu Davis was a beast at Pelicans without Lebron you casual fool lol
@@theobvu Garnett would still school him
hell no garnett is too slow to guard AD
@@kdgoat7721 huge cap. His length was not the only reason he could guard all 5 positions
Die hard Lakers fan here (Kobes my favorite player) with that said i was a little sad hearing about KG's retirement my eyes got watery i always respected him for his toughness i could never hate KG even when he played with the Celtics i never hated him just respect man #Farewell
Imagine crying over a man that makes millions playing a game and could give two shits about you are any of the fans.
Damn
athletic, big, and highly competitive he was a force to be reckoned with. enjoyed watching him play, sad seeing the players I grew up watching retiring. thank god for you tube highlights
KG is fun as hell to watch. If he had stayed healthy in 2009, no doubt Boston could’ve repeated.
Make it 3 peat to 2010. Allen KG and Pierce will stay in Boston until 2013. Dynasty.
Played both sides of the ball in a legendary fashion
salute to this legend man almost all the 2000s players are gone smh R. I. P. old nba...
Bron and raised in the 2000's. Now I'll have to be watching basketball with these hoe ass players like James Har_en and Stephanie Curry.
Ye, the only good late 90's player left is Dirk Nowitski and possibly Ray Allen if he comes back.
nah... pierce and vince remain as well
Oh ye forgot about them, I just don't hear about them to much today so there easy to forget, but no doubt both Hall of Famers.
why you talking about curry on a garnett video? show some respect to this legend and stop dickriding cavs damn...
Kobe, Timmy and now KG
Oh well I feel old :(
yep.
i feel so sad! gonna miss him
My final wish is to see all 3 get inducted to the Hall in the same year in near future :D
and stoudemire
Daniel Toribio
Ah yes, good old Amar'e
His whole top 10 can be shuffled and any can be placed at 1 💯🔥
There will never be another Kevin Garnett Man just a straight up baller
I first heard about Kevin Garnett because he did one of those "Got Milk?" ads and a cardboard cutout was in my school cafeteria and I became a fan of just because he had the same initials as me (I was in elementary school so give me a break), but I stayed a fan because of the ferocity, competitiveness, and passion he brought to the game. I was sad to see him leave the Celtics, but Minnesota is where this legend began and where it rightfully should end. From one KG to another, Thank you for some of the most memorable basketball moments, and thank you for bringing some extra "edge" to the NBA (and that beautiful rainbow jumper of your's wasn't too shabby either).
Watch kids, this thing here is called defense. I know you've never seen anything like it. Amazing isn't it?
Ever heard of Kawhi Leonard???
right
Trough the KG years,Minesotta was never a top 5 defense in the league as far as point allowed go. In 2000-01 season they were ranked 14 in points allowed,the next year they ranked 16th,then they were at number 18 and only in 2003-04 all the way trough 2005-06 the were a bit batter because they ranked 7th,then 9th and in 2005-06 they were at number 8. They were average most of the time and pretty good in KG's prime years but never elite. There are some people who think everything used to be better but once you people are presented with real statistics you don't know what to say anymore. I garantee you that people who played in the 80's or watched basketball in the 80's,they all tough that basketball in 2005 was soft. PS : All the stats are from basketball reference under the Minnesota Timberwolves team index.
Stats are skewed in some ways regarding defence due to rule changes. Zone defence was prohibited back in the day. On the flip side hand checking and more physical play was allowed. That's on both side of the ball though. Less offensive and defensive fouling, but more iso and man to man defence.
It's safe to say there wouldn't be anywhere near as many successful point guards if the rules never changed however guys like Lebron may have been even more successful because they'd be allowed to be more physical and wouldn't have to contend with zones.
Reeferal In the prime years of KG's career all the rules were the same as they are now. I think different defensive rules come to life in 2001/2002.
One of my all time favorite players along with Pierce, Maravich, Iverson, Grant Hill, Hakeem + Isiah Thomas. He carried that Twolves franchise by himself and won MVP. Remarkable athlete.
nice list- not familiar with Maravich but Zeke, Pierce, Ivo, Grant, and keem was cold
I missed so much this era! What a flashback, KG in his prime!!! The only all around player, the best!
Kevin Garnett is my all time favorite player and I am so proud to see his career is finally accomplished! Thank you for inspiring me Kevin, you are great!
my favorite..there was nothing KG couldnt do.. only NBA player in NBA history to be in the top 50 of every major statistical category.. we're all going to miss you man I grew up watching you.
Cae B he couldn’t shoot like dirk kd Klay or Steph... list goes on w bird, Miller, allen
Suraj he definitely could shoot just didn’t want to
KG was a MONSTER 🔥🔥🔥
every KG opponent player ever: "i have the ball now! but here comes KG...FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
Kobe, Duncan, and Garnett all retired in the same year. My childhood is over. Now only Paul Pierce and Dirk Nowitzki are left.
and Vince Carter
And Vince Carter, Manu Ginobli, Jason Terry, and Andre Miller
well , at least Nintendo still around lol
TheHehe1223 Dirk’s gone now
Big ticket!! You will be missed....
did he retired?
he retired today
damn, I was looking forward to seeing the 2016-2017 Timberwolves
MORE LIKE BIG PUSSY!!
yeah. better than LeChoke or LeBum though.
oh LeFlop too.
It's scary to see a big man with the speed and agility of a guard! With phenomenal blocking skills! And he could shoot! KG definitely deserved a ring! He truly played the game, he put his heart in the game! I remember on NBA Live on playstation 2 back in the day his ratings was always like 98 & 99 lol he was a beast on the game too!
he got a ring in boston
I wish minnesota had surrounded him with a solid star like Jason kidd or a consistent 25ppg scorer like vince carter or somebody like michael redd
Garnet vs duncan. Epic classic battle of the gold times
Best looking jumper for a big man. That turn around fade too.
Dirk
KG > Dirk fade also KG defense >>>> Dirk "defense"
If you consider Kevin durant a big man then KG is second
nigga dirk shot is ugly af lol but very solid
@@lebronjames1844 Hell no
Been rockin w KG since day 1 of the twolves. Honestly my biggest role model in my life next to my dad and it has been a pleasure watching your greatness all these years and congrats on the HOF chip now. Your intensity, hard work, and desire to win, helped me become the man I am today, thank you for everything and everything you do for our communities here in MN! #BigTicket🐐
That dude had a fire burning from within. Just brought incredible energy to every game. Miss those days in green ☘
#42 is crazy! What a monster, you hear the commentator "They're going right at KG... Interestingly enough,"
Like it was an odd idea. As KG stuffs two players in a row while growling the entire time.
Man I miss that ferocity in basketball. It'll never be the same, it's just 40 threes a game and defense only being played (somewhat) in the playoffs
that shoulda been top 5 tbh
I had no idea KG had such a high level of passing...
Yeah, #9 is insane.
me too
U averaged 5 assists in Minnesota? Are u like Ricky Rubio or what?
he once averaged 6 assists back in Minnesota
Thats why he was an MVP caliber player
Legend. Will be missed! My favorite player ever.
I’m 18 and I remember growing up watching kg play in Minnesota so to see him come back and teach KAT was awesome the wolves have a bright future thanks to KG...gonna miss him
Russell said words to the effect, 'that it is one thing to block a shot but quite another turn that block into a change of possession, ' case in point.
Thank you for bringing my Celtics banner number 17, and bringing 20+ years of passionate, god like basketball! Well never forget you man!
For me, KG was in top 10 all time...
Not even close, maybe 10 all time defense but can’t be 10 all time with only 1 chip and 1 mvp and wasn’t finals mvp in his only ring I can name 20 players better
@@YoungBlood507 Did you see the 'for me' in the comment?
You're not alone - I'm not from Minnesota, but KG was and still is my all-time favorite. The man could do everything on the court, he loved his team's community, (both in Minnesota and Boston, I admit I didn't follow the Brooklyn years super-close) stayed mostly-if-not-completely free of controversy and legal trouble throughout his career, and even towards the end he was still playing at a well-above-average level. I realize he doesn't have as much hardware as a lot of the more talked-about folks in GOAT conversations, but that's sure as shit not his fault.
@@YoungBlood507 people put way too many team accomplishments as requisites for individual rankings. Winning chips isn't everything. Defense is half of the game, KG is one of if not the best defensive players of all time. He led his team in EVERY major statistic for a season. One of the greatest PF's of all time.
@@YoungBlood507 your smoking 20 players better ? Kg is a top 3 pf of all time I’m sure he’s in the top 15
His speed and athleticism for how lanky he is, is almost incomprehensible. I've never seen so much heart from one man
Prolly one of the best top50 replays ... ever ... offensively and defensly! What a sick DAAAAAAWWWWG! :D
Kevin Garnett, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard... they're so underrated
Bosh though?
Here after uncut gems. Big fan now !
Congrats KG , he will now be among the Celtic immortals as his number goes up into the rafters at The Garden !!!
This man loved his job and pour his heart out every game. The NBA definitely misses this true legend. Much respect K.G.
the diversity of all of these plays is insane. it's like a highlight reel of 10 different all-stars
Garnett had an insanely diverse skill set and arguable the first point forward
Hugely underrated. My top 5 fav player of all time. In his prime if with amazing talent around he would've won like three championships
The 10th one gave me chills. He was so happy.
Thank you Kevin Garnett!! For the years you spent here in Boston. I loved watching you dominate every single night!!
Hail to the KinG, you are always the greatest player in my heart. You changed my life and brought me to basketball, you will always be my hero. Farewell KG, king of the wolves, most passionate player ever, a true warrior, and a symbol of an era.
@@gerardrazulcarim4922 lmao
not only in wolves but also in celtics cause he win a championship
Imagine prime KG played in todays timberwolves
Imagine KG in this era of basketball
Guillermo Vazquez He’d be fouling everyone
Giannis with a J
@@guillermovazquez1084 Dude always had good range, I bet he'd be raining 3s in this era
Would get fined 100k and Suspended
LEGEND! That smooth Jumper Always Remmembered.
my favourite player ever !! amazing competitor! he played with passion and grit every game. Unfortunatly he arrived to my Celtic's too late!!
Watching that draft as a celtics fan, he was the player I wanted them to get. Every time stern walked to the podium I was hoping he was going to announce that they had traded up to take him.
I don't care what anyone else tells me. He is the best PF to ever lace 'em up. Don't talk to me about championships. Don't talk to me about MVPs. Don't talk to me about stats. He's the best, and there's no one else in sight.
ok
nick : Here’s where your argument falls apart: KG may in fact be the “best” PF to ever lace them up, but that doesn’t make him the “greatest.”
KG > TD (better)
TD > KG (greater)
Failure to recognize this distinction is the reason LeBron is so overrated, and one reason people’s rankings don’t line up evenly. LeBron is a a great athletic talent, but IMO he’s not that great of a player!
People can disagree all they want to.
Most people never even consider that there’s a distinction between better and greater.
When you rank BEST players, Dominique is a arguably a top-10 player, right there with Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Kareem, Oscar, Bird, and Hakeem.
When you rank GREATEST players, he can’t even crack the top-25, because there are too many more accomplished players who got the most out of their abilities.
‘Nique, for all of his talent, never won a ring, never made any players around him better players.
Are Doc Rivers, Kevin Willis or Cliff Levingston HoFers? That stuff matters.
I know that James Worthy might not be considered to be a top-50 player if not for Magic!
I doubt Manu Ginobli would be a HoFer without Duncan and Parker.
This is where you must start to understand the differences between KG and TD.
If KG > TD, KG should be ranked in the top-15 players of all-time.
TD should still be ranked ahead of KG, because rings matter in the NBA more than they do in other sports.
Individual players can impact teams more in Basketball, Soccer and Hockey than they can in Baseball or football.
TD is “greater” than KG, because he won more, and was probably a better leader - though not by much. He made players around him better just through his silent leadership and work ethic. That has to matter.
Parker and Ginobli are HoFers in part because of TD. Even Steve Kerr and Robert Horry may one day get in because of TD.
TD made former coach Avery Johnson look like a genius!
But KG was “better” - as in more talented.
Better = Inputs (talent)
Greater = Talent + Skills + Outputs*
Skills are gained through hard work. For instance, Magic learned the baby sky hook when he got to the pros. Jordan wasn’t that great with his left hand, or a great outside shooter, when he was first drafted. He learned those things over time.
Talent is INNATE. Were born with it. Skills are LEARNED. When people use the term “developing talent” they are really using a fallacious expression, because talent can’t be developed. What you develop is skills to maximize your talent the development of skills is how we get maximum outputs.
*Outputs are accomplishments (i.e. titles, title game appearances, team & individual statistics, All-Star game appearances, international/Olympics performances, impact on other players and careers, individual awards & accolades, etc.)
Talent
Skills
Outputs
Those are all different concepts. So when we debate players, we have to insure that we are debating the same stuff and not comparing apples to oranges
Kg is like 7'5 I swear lol
7'1 in shoes with arms down to his knees. Shit's crazy. Giannis the player nowadays where I just have to call bullshit on 6'11.
How many players can say half, if not more, of their top 50 plays are defensive? Probably not many, truly a one of a kind talent, and a player that I wish we had more of in the current NBA. Today's big men need to watch this.
So underrated. So much heart. Which is why if I could assemble any team in their prime, I'd have KG coming off the bench after Bird at PF. He's long, passionate, smart. One of my all-time favorites.
Kevin Garnett has always been my favourite player and I don't even watch basketball😂
Good bye Big Ticket!! You will be missed!! you've had a amazing career! thank you for your time in Boston and getting that 17th championship! ANYTHING IS POSSSSIBBBLEEE!!!!
I put this guy in my starting 5 as a PF anyday and so many friends wanna argue but to me he was unreal on defense and damn good on offense too. Brilliant player to watch
KG we love you, brother!!!
Absolute mad man!
That pass from Nash at 41 was insane
watching this makes me miss the celtics big 4 so much :(
L u i s. You mean big 5?
Yo you can’t forget about scali
One of best complete and all around player ever. KG did everything on the court. One of my favorite player.
My favorite NBA player of all time! The man could score from anywhere on the court, posterize you at any time and when he blocked a shot, he blocked to make you never want to try and shoot over him again!
KG in 2004 was such a beast.
50 times Kevin Garnett has said inappropriate things. Most intense player I've seen. A true competitor. Duncan, KG and Kobe HOF 2021. The remnants of the late '90s batch are a dying breed now.
Love you KG. My inspiration to play the game. Still watching this in year 2020.
Came here for KG highlights, saw the second play of deron Williams doing that spin and now I’m boutta go watch deron Williams highlights. One of my favorite handles ever
wow, my childhood is officially done
yeah... we are old AF :(
y'all still have Dirk n vince
Feel ya bro
No big man can do the things he does. Maybe in the next 10 years. GOAT!!
N
Not true other big mans can hit game winners block shots and get putbacks
Karl Anthony Towns. KG has been mentoring him all year long and probably will continue doing so even after retirement. He's in a perfect situation, great young talent around him, great coach in Thibodeao and a great fucking mentor in KG. So we don't have to wait another 10 years, the next KG already is here and he's playing in Minnesota ironically enough.
I see more of KG in Anthony Davis then I do KAT tbh, the quickness, length, hand speed, ick and pop midrange jumpshot, and defensive ability. KAT is more of a inside post/ pick and pop/ good passer. But defensively he's nothing close to KG
KG has to be one of my favorite players man
That little cut down the lane got him so many highlight dunks!
Watching this after the retirement ceremony. What a legend
ANYTHINGS POSSIBLEEE
lmaaaaaao bro i remember this from way back 2008 god damn!!!!!!!
I thought they would close with that.
Oooooo! Number 22 was nasty! That was a thing of beauty. KG was strong as hell in the paint. Had finesse too.
KG Absolute Monster!! No weakness in any part of his game..add as much heart as anyone has ever played with first ballot HOF 21
