Kavin Garnett was easily the best player during those finals. As much as I love Paul Pierce, the Finals MVP should have been given to the Big Ticket
@LeBran Flakes especially Game 5 when I thought that they would finish the Finals off, but yes he did save his best for last
KG deserves the final MVP. His defense and he was punishing Gasol. Lakers had to end up double team him to free up Pierce and Allen. Reason why Celtics won that finals.
The only reason Paul piece because of game one where pierce was wheeled out and then came back for a great performance but we all know what really happened
@LeBran Flakes I’m just a big reason he got finals is how heroic he looked in game 1
He's only behind duncan
Man, KG's jumper is one of the most beautiful ever - especially for a big man.
KG, the Big Ticket, was one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history. He should have had four titles. But, misfortune allowed three titles to evade him, all due to injuries. He was one of those players who had mastered his craft to such an extent that his game became like a great work of art. The turn around jumper, the midrange jumper, the leaping ability, the pin point passing, the great rebounding, the quick outlet passes to half court, the ability to protect the rim while also protecting the corner three pointer, the running of the court as a big man, and the high basketball IQ. Garnett is one of my favorite basketball players of all time. As he once said in a playoff series, he was a problem out there for the other team.
stratton barbee i appreciate your comment. It means alot. Thank you.
I thought of that exact number as well! Four! Alot of people don't know or overlooked the fact that Sam Cassell was injured during the 2004 western conference finals. He was a very important player for the Timberwolves that year. It still would have been tough to beat both the Lakers and Pistons, but I think they would have done it. Then 3 in a row with the Celtics from 08-10 if he wasn't injured in 2009. Sometimes it's just luck, injuries and who you are fortunate to play with. If Garnett had as much luck as some of his peers he would have at least 4 championships in my opinion.
The Big Ticket over the Big Fundamental for me. Sure Tim may had the better overall game and career but KG just screamed basketball, he exemplified the heart of the game and that's what he had the best. Heart.
well said, to me if he had the rings, he's the greatest PF of all time
@@Dinrad360 to me, Tim only had the rings and blocked shots over KG, everything else KG was better at and was more athletic
I'm just really glad that he finally has a ring. Of all the hard work, it paid off.
Would of won 3 in a row if he didn't get hurt
@@kgf.o.e4129 Precisely
Thx son 👊🏿🙏🏿
Before KD there was KG. He could do it all. Cross you over as a big, fade away jumper, defense, midrange, pass with flavor. Amazing to see.
KG is a much much much better defender than KD
KG is never as smooth as KD in offense. KD plays like a shooting guard. KG plays like a small forward. never really post up. just one or 2 dribble and shoot his mid-range. but in defense, KG is a ferocious defender. great rebounder. very sound defense. very hard to shoot over KG. he ever made tim duncan worked hard to get off his shot.
I feel like Kevin Durant is what Kevin Garnett would have been if he didn't get injured
No... KG is one of the most loyal players in history you can't say that to the other guy...
Love this storyline coach rivers hides the cash in la and he knew to win this thing we gotta comeback through la se he set the tone gave em a vision it's time to turn it on and they had the right leaders the right coach at the right age and time
I wish the celts had formed years earlier so that we could’ve possibly seen a spurs vs Celtics finals. Would’ve been an amazing series to watch.
Ahhh man Duncan vs Garnett in the finals 🔥
No doubt
This kind of Celtic? Spurs wouldnt stand a chance
The only team who can hold them of the last 2 decade is Piston 2004 and maybe KD Warriors
Pierce and Ray would of gave it to the spurs. Especially since Kawhi not there.
Great point by Jeff Van Gundy! Did you do everything in your power to become a champion? If you did, it doesn't matter if you won the trophy, you are a champion.
Who is here after KG wrote a heartfelt letter about Kobe. To say the least, we were blessed to have the two of the most competitive athletes who have excelled in their respective position. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration.
Duncan Garnett Nowitzki the greatest PF'S 💪
Karl Malone was a monster, and my man Kevin McHale, well if Charles Barkley says that McHale was the best PF he played against that is good enough for me. The three you have listed are monsters too picking a top 5 or even 10 at any position is extremely difficult. In my opinion basketball in the '80s and for the most part the 90s was a big boy sport. Those dudes beat the shit out of each other. I mean they would get in fist fights and not even get thrown out of the game let alone a technical foul call. Nowadays players are pampered and babied overpaid prima donnas, and if you breathe on them wrong they call a foul. I mean if you didn't come out of a playoff game bleeding then you weren't playing. Those games were so much fun to watch, and those players earned their money. So I'm always going to give the nod to players from the '80s and '90s because of the heart and soul and blood sweat and tears that they put into every game.
Cant forget about Malone
@@ReservoirPunk he'd have a stronger case if he could beat mj in the finals
@@king0fcrown575 nobody could beat MJ in the finals lol
The real finals MVP
Man I miss watching KG hoop dude would be even more DOMINATE in todays NBA lmao
Big Kevin Garnett fan because of his years with the twolves. Rest in power, Kobe Bryant. You were a unique basketball talent.
Phenomenal player. One of the greatest competitors the game ever knew. I'd give anything to feel that feeling again as a fan, seeing another C's title
Without KG that Celtics team not an elite team. He was something else. He bring the championship.
Theres a reason why Kevin Garnett is the highest earning nba player in history.
Not anymore... 🦌🇬🇷
Don't care what anyone says as a Celtics fan KG should've been MVP nothing against Paul but KG played on a different level than anyone in those 08 finals.
Huge difference in 08 when Kg was still healthy vs 2010 when he wasn’t he was a problem for the lakers.
garnett is underated
i love how smooth he moved throughout the games. a total artist
Man, although I was pissed that Kobe and the Lakers lost this year, i couldn’t even be mad because I was super happy KG finally won a championship. I feel like besides Kobe, nobody at the time deserved a championship more for their NBA resume other than KG. He and Kobe were my favorite players growing up. Both coming outta HS, Kobe looking up to him, giving him advice to make the leap. I respected KG’s maniac intensity and love for the game, I digged that about him #differentanimals #samebeasts ✊🏿✊🏿
Totally agree. KG was def the most accomplished player in the league at the time to have not won a ring, mainly due to circumstance up the there in Minnesota. It was about time he got that opportunity. Although paul pierce got finals mvp, i thought kg played just as well in this series, was very consistent throughout. It was a tough loss to accept, that game 4 blown lead was crushing. LA had a legit chance to win that series, tied 2-2 w g5 at home. Instead theyre down 3-1. Boston was undoubtedly the better and hungrier team tho. I dont think they were going to be denied that year. They were like how the lakers were in ‘09, just straight determined to complete their ultimate mission at all costs. Kobe and kg on the same team would have been greatly intriguing, believe there were talks in ‘07ish. Pau turned out to be that guy tho. Kinda like kg, no real success in memphis, got his opp in LA. Both guys came out as champs.
domcarter I couldn’t have said it better myself. That game 4 loss was a serious bed wetting moment for LA. I rewatched that game, and their bench killed us, namely Posey and House. Definitely the tougher team. I’m just glad they got it done in ‘10. But overall, had Kobe lost to anybody else, I’d be more pissed. No shame at all losing to KG
@@dcshow KGs career derailing injury in 09 and Perkins absence in 2010 Gave Kobe and Gasol those 2 titles.
@@jeffross9982 don’t forget Ariza n Bynum was hurt int these finals
Deserved?
As a Lakers Fan, thank you Celtics 2008 and 2010 for having Two Historic competitive Finals and hard-earned championship wins on yall and us! This 2008 Celtic was an amazing team we lost to The big 4 and they were also amazing in 2010 too it was to the wire!
KG had this look like in his eye, that entire regular season, the playoffs, and especially the finals, like he was out for blood. The man had the look of a killer shark. I knew Celtics would win that year because of that look in KGs eyes. I watched that guy battle for years in Minnesota and I could tell he was fed up. Him only winning one ring doesn't matter, he's still top 5 greatest PFs of all time.
Bring these courts back!
look at kg man soooo inspirational
I don't think people realize hw good KG was. Think AD size skill and athleticism with a Jordan like mentality.
I think kg is more athletic than ad tbh and less injury prone
Really unfortunate how injuries piled up at the end of KGs career. Loved the battles he had w sheed and gasol in those playoffs.
My favorite intensity passionate player ever.
I was still a kid during this finals and a Kobe fan. But now that I’m watching this, KG really can move swiftly with that size at 4. Leads on transitions. Top key and low key and pretty much around the court he can maximize the floor and get some points. Beast. ☘️
He was the finals mvp
Should’ve been
Man if he didn’t injure his knee in 09…possible three-peat
Yo he was never the same man 😩😩😩😩
@@patrickbello8130 he was the same player but in 2010 season he reinjured it then he wasn't the same player
Facts
Couldve had atleast 3-4 rings with 2 finals mvp on his resume. couldve been so so far ahead of anybody besides duncan and maybe giannis because his career is still going
@@woo_shynen8805 facts
God KG's jumper was just MONEY every time. It has to be one of if not the cleanest jumper by a big man. He'd just look at the basket over your head and nail it right in your face.
Isa pang halimaw sa NBA kevin garnet" ibang klase ang galawan nyan...
Thank you big ticket by KG for help the Celtics championship 2008 ! By the way rest in paradise Black mamba 8/24 & 2 Gigi
KG was too fast for their bigs and too strong for their tall wings. Dominated defense and offense. Definitely deserved the fmvp.
As a laker fan. We feared this dude.
Love KG!!
A legend!
Kevin, God be the Glory!!! 😤 ... YESTERDAY Play is not Today's... Find in your heart ❤️ to share a moment with Ray Allen... 2022 You and the Guys. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolute legend. Goosebumps. Celtics for life ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

12:37 look...paul pierce give the signal to the play
I’m was happy for Garnett, but Kobe was mad when the lakers lost. I’ll never forget it
KG ‘The Big Ticket’ my favorite PF ever!
One of my favorite players of all time
KG should’ve won Finals MVP
2:15 "mf's can';t f'ing guard me".......that's intensity and confidence right there.
A true force of nature on the court. Legend
if you’re under 18 and 6’7, 6’8 or 6’9 + you should watch Hakeem, KG or any modern big
Best defensive player ever
2:36 Covid
❤BIG TICKET " 🏀😎POR SIEMPRE MI JUGADOR FAVORITO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS 🏀👏👍😎♥️ #21❤ GRACIAS KEVIN GARNNET👍♥️😎🏀👏
Miss this nba
He stayed too in Minneapolis. When he went to the c’s, he wasn’t at his prime anymore. He was still very good that year, but i would like the 04 kg in that squad.
Goat
Garnet alot like Durant big men freak of natures who can dribble and shoot like guards plus all around games post game and pull up jumpshot
THE BIG TICKET !!!!
Dude his athleticism at that height was crazy. His elbows were above the rim smh so exciting to watch
That inside dribble on gasol was ridiculous
The Big Ticket ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dude makes you wanna get up at 430 in the morning an jus like run 6 miles. Never looked up to someone ive never met more than this dude. One of one.
KG went HAM
these were happy times for the league indeed doc wasnt as pissed as usual like these days clippers and 76ers do him dirty
Whoever made this videos is a Garnett fan def made him look like a god in the playoffs
He was
Looks so much tougher than today's NBA
Kg deserved finals mvp over pierce. His defense and hustle alone warranted it
This really could have been a dynasty.
So many what ifs in history.
Tracy McGrady and Yao vs Shaq and Kobe.
How many rings if Larry bird didn't hurt his back?
Etc etc etx
💪🏻👍🏻💪🏻
I had not appreciated KG was so good.
Big fuckin ticket
Crazy he didn't get fmvp. He made all the deference
Remember y'all Anything is possible
16 was guarding him pretty well too
THE BIG TICKETTTT!!!!!
"mfers cant guard me" 2:16
2:39 this man preventing corona ahead his times
Damn that game 6 score
For real as a lakers fan that game is humiliating the Celtics dominated
2:16
"Mothafvcka can't fvckin' guard me!"
-The Big Ticket
Anything's Possible!!!
Who is here after the most recent episode of Thinking Basketball Podcast?
The big ticket
Perkins could dunk wow
I am using a formula i created to judge who had the greatest season for every NBA franchise and Kevin this season had the best in Boston History... it’s crazy
No wayyy!! Larry bird??
4:43 prime rondo was something else
Anything's Possible !!!!!!
Gasol stay getting dunk on!! Exspecially went Blake did it that was humiliating
KG ia the first basketbaĺl player i know. This is reason why im die hard of C's
lol at 2:35 dude was ready with a face shield for KG’s powder toss
This was pre COVID too so these weren’t common
Thanks for clarifying that 2008 was indeed before Covid
The guy was hard to play against and I think Paul gasol still find nightmares of KG during that 2008 final😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they made Lakers look an ordinary team
Kobe had to battle two of the greats, KG And Paul Pierce
Athleticism/first step is crazy compared to 2010 (post knee surgery)
Garnett doesnt have a lot of footwork but he is fudamentally sound at basic skills such as mind range, put back and defence.
❤❤❤Beast
Straight from the jersey retirement to here
Sucks being a DIE HARD MN sports fan....Being born and raised in Minneapolis for 37 years.....Sucks i can't say he the best PF of all time....Cause Duncan has that and that KILLS ME too say but facts.....And ps KG overall was better than Malone
he has the perfect body to play volleyball
Imagine if that KG to LA trade happens
I’m here bcuz of his retirement 😃
