It's great how unselfish KG really is despite his MVP season. He instantly called his teammates to share his award with them. KG is truly a player in his own right.
This is so much better than the nonsense award shows they have today. Let the fans share the joy of the MVP. In the home crowd in the playoffs. Nothing better than that.
Lol I don't remember commenting it. Crazy it was 15 years ago. That said I really meant good old days for the Timberwolves. As far as life goes I'm pretty happy with the present barring some things I can't really control. Funny though cause that MVP was only two years previous but it felt like much more to me at the time. I was like 21 though so 2 years felt a bit different.
i'm a huge KG fan, and both are great in their own right, can't we just accept that? we were fortunate enough to grow up in an era where two of the greatest PFs of all-time dominated. why can't we just admire them both?
I was at this game =)......God how I miss the twolves KG games.... me and a buddy of mine actually snuck into the Target Center right after the trade and took pictures of KG stuff there before they took it down =)
This is my all time favorite player. I of course love the Celtics and even like the Timberwolves a little just because of this man. He deserved this MVP award and the ring he won in Boston. I just hope he wins a few more.
@@ayazceyhan1968 True, damn I totally forgot I made this comment thanks for reminding me haha, must've been around the same time they lost the rematch to LA... Well, title or not those were incredibly fun teams to watch and thanks to Pierce & KG the new squads are just as fun
@@hxcpwnage999 Wowwww that's so fricking cool you came here again 10 years later 😃😃 Do you think basketball was better when you made that comment, cuz I'm kinda newbie compared to you =) My interest in basketball started in 3PT&D era and when I compare games from 2000s to now I usually think "Damn, those were good times"
@@ayazceyhan1968 I don't think basketball is necessarily better now, its just so much more fast paced... I like these new Celtic teams as much as the old ones its just too bad they havent made the Finals yet
If KG had a better team than Duncan in their careers no doubt he would be better.Duncan had a better team I wonder If he had a scrub team with him can he win MVP?
@@dannycooper8253 Duncan was clearly the player. He just sacrificed his stats so his team could win. If he wanted to, he could have easily averaged 30 ppg. But he's not that kinda player.
Prime KG over kobe anyday. KG was such a beast, sucks to see players get old but I'm glad he got his championship. Spurs are my team and as great as Tim Duncan is KG was better individual PF. Tim Duncan is just so smart at basketball and he has the fundamentals down 100% but KG was a Beast
Ticket deserved MVP more than once! Queen James has four. Why? In Cleveland yes he was the Most Valuable Player, but the last two in Miami, no. James has been in the East his entire career, only the top four teams have 50 plus winning season. Where's in the West you need at least 50 to make the playoffs! Plus KG had to go battle Malone, Olajuwon, Duncan, Robinson, O'Neal, Nowitzki,
@GEORGEIO111 Both are awesome players. Players who play as a PF are great to watch K.Malone, T.Duncan and especially my favorite of all time KinGarnett.
Rasheed Wallace could have led those spurs teams to titles. They were STACKED. KG has held up better than Duncan as well... KG plays at a higher level with far more miles on his body (playing since HS and plays more minutes per game career wise) Garnett led teams with virtually no talent to great things... A 34 year old sprewell and 35 year old cassell and kg won the #1 seed in the west and could have won the title... So Garnett is fine at winning... Duncan was blessed with a great support crew.
i love kg but i have to disagree with your point about him being a better post player than duncan. i watched an interview where he himself admits that duncan is way better than him on post because of his unpredictability. i do agree that kg is a better defender and leader tho.
Championships/rings are a team accomplishment. In your case, is Derek Fisher (part of 5 championship teams) better than Tim Duncan(Part of 4 championship teams)? Is Robert Horry (part of 7 championship teams) better than Tim Duncan? I think not.
Duncan and Garnett do not heavily rely on athelticism either and Duncan is still considered a better pf and some say the best pf of all time while garnett didn't enter the discussion
holy shit... he won the trophy because he was the "Most Valuable" player. If he shouldn't have won, then who? He led a mostly average player-filled team to the number 1 seed. He led broke all kinds of franchise records. What more did he have to do to prove to you he was truly the best player in the league?
for any team will be the best fit for Garnett, there's no better team to go to than the Bulls! Joining Kobe will not help because Kobe will be too busy hogging the ball. Even when he had Payton and Malone in the 03-04 season, he's still too busy shooting the ball.
KG > TD. Better all around player than Duncan. Better at everything, no doubt about it and of course TD has more rings..... HE HAD BETTER TEAMS! KG and TD- best PFs to ever play the game along with K. Malone.
@doudoub2005 lol i didn't hate him he still the best power forward in the nba for me. in minnesota if you saw his post moves. well i didn't see that moves anymore when he transfers in boston. the dude just want to win a ring. thats all he needed at that time he gets mvp. just a ring. so he go to boston
kevin garnett won the season mvp not facing legends like jerry west larry bird magic johnson michael jordan kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson bill russell and wilt chamberlain
u kno its weird, the same year he won mvp, he went on to the conference finals with the timberwolves, and lost. now derrick rose went to the conference finals and lost, but he won mvp this season. so basically, wat MIGHT happen is rose leaves the bulls for another team in 4 years and gets a title kg timberwolves 1995-2007 now wat might happen to rose ...... rose bulls 2008-2015
@XxShiftGamingxX what I mean is Duncan is better at getting championship rings than KG. I'm replied it to a comment questioning what one thing can duncan do better than KG so I replied.
dude lebron led the cavs to 1st seed twice in a row with a pretty bad team. Plus the east had kg, pierce rondo led celtics, dwights magic, rip hamilton rasheed and billups led pistons...
