Kevin Garnett's beef with the "snake-like" Wolves owner got even worse without Flip Saunders around

  • Kevin Garnett loves Minnesota. That's where he spent most of his legendary playing career, and he still loves the city, the fans, and many of his former teammates. But from the time Garnett became a Timberwolf until well after he retired, one man owned the franchise, and Kevin Garnett does not like that man. At all.
    Glen Taylor is a billionaire, one of Minnesota's richest people. He bought the Wolves in the early '90s, and brought in the regime that made the Wolves relevant, including Garnett and his first, beloved head coach, Flip Saunders.
    But making the Wolves "relevant" wasn't really enough with a generational talent like Garnett on board. This episode of Beef History explains how Taylor failed his superstar employee, disparaged him after he departed, and ended up alienating one of the greatest pro athletes in Minnesota history. And just when a reunion and happy ending seemed possible, Garnett and Taylor lost a crucial moderating presence with the tragic death of Flip Saunders.

      All star selections MVP awards are individual awards and are commendable feats but in the landscape of sports today if they don't include championships there will always be voices that diminish them.
      Ultimately KG got his championship when he left and went to the Celtics but I don't believe wanted to leave to get a title for another team.
      I remember the years that he was in Minnesota and not to make it sound corny but he was a big part of the community there and it seemed like he liked being there and wanted to win there.

Yes they made mistakes, but he was the driving force as to why they won games. If he's on another team, does he win MVP? Does he win the individual awards while trying to make a run? Who knows. So did Dirk waste his prime in Dallas because they didn't win? They won later, but they didn't win until he was older.
      Has Dame wasted his prime?
      Did Westbrook was his prime in OKC?
      Did Harden waste his prime because Houston didn't win?
      Steve Nash didn't win, so I guess he wasted his prime in Phoenix, they didn't win a title.
      Iverson wasted his prime, they didn't win in Philly, he was the best player with not a ton of great guys around him, so that means he wasted his prime then right?
      Jokic is just wasting his prime away right? He won the MVP in Denver and he hasn't won yet, so is this just a big waste of time?
      What about Embiid, is he wasting his time in Philly because they haven't won yet?
      all these great players, clearly they just wasted their primes because they didn't win with the teams they played on.
      So just because you didn't win a championship, even though you were a competitive team for X amount of years that means you just wasted your time?
      Not everyone's going to win a title dude. What makes some of these players great, is that they're able to compete with little to nothing on their roster and carry their teams somewhere, just because you don't win right away in your first 5 or 10 years in your career, doesn't mean you're just wasting your time.
